A beautiful "winter wonderland" weekend #trailrun, in relatively fresh #snow. I had a blast, a few paths on my route weren't even touched, so I had to run in deep snow, which is always fun. :)

I met a lot of hikers, dogs, cross-country skipers, and even a mountain biker who was cursing the whole time. Reminded me of my own bike trip in the snow two weeks ago. πŸ˜†

I also tested new running pants, and a new energy gel flavour, blackcurrant. Yummy! (the gel, not the pants)

Just finished shoveling for the dogs. We'll have more snow than predicted. I'm guessing 5-6" of snow when it's all said and done. Then we'll be facing -30Β°F wind chills tonight.

Our white Christmas came a bit late this time round, but...better late than never, I guess. #snowysaturday

As my property and the local trails are still mostly Hoth-like with ice and crusty snow to the extent that I swear I saw a Tauntaun in my backyard this week, I will once again be skipping my normal 12 mile #hike and compensating with the treadmill.

When things aren't so treacherous, getting out there even in cold winter days has its own magical beauty that makes the time well spent. After the first mile, cold is a non-issue once your bpm is up over 100.
