A cold day for running

This week, southerns got to experience something rare - snow! Granted, it wasn't a heavy snowfall - 2-4 inches the first time (Wed.) and 1-2 inches yesterday (Sat.) - it was enough to lift my spirits and make me hit the trails!

The past few months have been tough on my running routine. After being of the road and away from home so much during late '07, the start of '08 has brought tons of illustration and design work. Normally this is a good thing (actually getting paid 'n such), but not very helpful when trying to get back in the habit of trail running. But when I saw the flakes falling this week, I HAD to set aside my work and put in some miles at Paris Mountain.

The temperature was in the low 20s this morning when I started my run. My aching in my ankles/feet were definitely letting me know they weren't used to this abuse. I kept sloshing along and took in the experience of the rare Southern snow run. Good times!

These aren't pics from my run but from the night the snow started to fall.
