RUN 4.5 miles in 48 mins, in cold and snow and ice
Just me n BE today, too cold for EW, too early and too cold for LA. Haha, Siberia stayed home. Ok but for real - he has only shorts and not winter clothing.
We started out, and BE said he's signed up for Quivering Quads! The swag was a long sleeve zip, but for a little extra you get a flannel shirt, and for a little extra more you get a bomber jacket (?) from last year's race. Gosh I miss racing. That was a great race! BE and I remembered at the end of the run that we drove out to it together when we did it, he brought some cornmeal muffins or some cookies and I remember that I couldn't eat them. And JoeM was there, it was the muddy year with the 28-some creek crossings. I think that was 2011 -- 10 YEARS AGO!
The gravel path was crusted over with ice and snow, but the paved trail was mostly cleared. We alternated between the two. My main concern was the banging on the joints that aren't used to it, but everything still feels good a few hours later.
Great run, and I miss racing. I miss the challenge, the unexpected, the newness, the memorableness of the day.

Today is a full moon, the Wolf Moon at 1:16pm to be precise. It hung in the northwestern sky over our run, wonderfully bright and tinged a bit yellow. I'll make a separate post on this though, to get these thoughts outta my head. Might be one of those perpetual-draft posts, never posted, just a brain dump.
