Believe it or not...I'm actually going to write another post and only a week apart...Either I don't have enough to do or I just find writing a blog so much fun! Actually I suppose it is option C I just have something else to say. I definitely have enough to do, especially with Christmas knocking on my door and my usual organized self not available!

Anyway...Last night after running to the Italian market for the 2nd time in less than a week and driving home in the snow, thinking how perfect this is for Christmas I saw two people out for their evening run. And while I've run in the cold, the rain, the wind and yes, the heat...I can't recall a time when I ran in snow...like measurable snow. So I had this fabulous idea! I would do it...Needed the run anyway. So I got home, found my ear warmer, my 4 layers of clothes and 2 pairs of gloves and off I went. Although, I did have to avoid a noticeable amount of ice patches, overall I felt great...I only slipped once, had to dig snow out of my shoes multiple times and ran slower than I'm used to. I'm sure I was a site...with my hair, eyebrows and sweatshirt covered in snow, snowflakes flying in my eyes and water falling off my face. But it was the most fun I have had in the snow in a long while.

So I highly recommend the running while snowing...maybe just in Colorado, I'm not sure!
