Slept from 730 am until 1100am.   Should have known I'd waken to Winter Wonderland when I drove home this morning in a already warm car, no frost and like 45 degrees out.  Wish I felt like running  then but was too tired from my busy all nighter.  When awoke was thinking of not running today but then remembered how much I love to run in the fluffy white stuff.  I feel like I am skiing.   I was on the ski team in high school, cross country and downhill, so I am used to "gliding in the snow".  It was quite the pleasant run, pace relaxed, easy at 8:22 for 8.01 miles.  Could have kept going but towards the end I couldn't feel my feet, they were wet from some slushy areas I ran thru and now had frozen up even though the outside temp was totally perfect to me.  Listened to some Christmas songs in my iPod to guide my open sleigh.  Totally recommend such a run.  Sidewalked ran the majority of the run to really feel the crunch under my feet of the three inches of snow already there.  Huge flakes a fallin'.  Beautiful.   Need I say more?

Running in the winter wonderland! Father winter is supposed to hit us tomorrow evening with a blizzard of some sort--I am actually looking forward to it!

If there was a way to keep your toes warm and dry, you'd be running forever in this winter wonderland. Nothing beats fresh fallen snow. Have I told you lately that you're TOO COOL for words!!! LOVE IT MS. PREZ!!! Are you off for the holidays now? Have fun baking and enjoying the family! :)

smooth- just one more night starting in one hour I just got woken from a short pm nap (30 min) by my dog opening a Christmas present under the tree and this time it wasn't even food...I guess he hope'd it would be. Last year he ate an entire Large Hershey's Candy (1 lb) bar and he is less than 10 pounds himself!! And dogs are supposed to get sick from chocolate...not my dog, he's definitely part of the family. Happy Holidays, tomorrow I will be off until Saturday night :D.
