Wow we got alot of snow at least eight inches and we ran in it it was great! Sammy ran three with us she about pulled my arm off talk about a snow dog if we had some more dogs like her they could run in the Iderod. I think she wanted to run farther but its hard to hold your arm out like that. It was a real good workout.

Again I was all alone on my parkway not to cold but slushy wet feet. Sammy didn't want to go today so ran all alone it was peaceful.

Wow what a cold day three miles with Sammy three miles alone. I picked it up on the hills as per rules, sometimes I feel like following rules sometimes I don't.  Anyway the parkway was almost empty and I did't mind.

Three with Sammy south then two north on the parkway. It was a pretty nice run not too cold. I actually did a couple pickups and felt good.

When I started my run it was sunny windy and 48 degrees, as Sammy and I ran south a stray basset hound puppy almost grown came from behind and goosed Sammy.  She lit out and nearly pulled my arm off the basset hound then kept running around us, I thought we would have to bare the harrasment the rest of the run but just then a man with two dogs going the other direction caught the interest of the basset hound, he happily followed them.

We ran on with only the wind harrasing us. Almost to the turn aound point at 7100 so. we saw Olaf, an old running friend, stopped and talked to him about the Disney World Marathon three weeks from Sunday.  He is taking his family on vacation and running the marathon.  We have run it twice, nice to see a old friend.  The weather turned from good to terrible, I had run into the wind the whole way south and now going north the wind pelted me with first rain, then miserable sleet! So Sammy and I raced home just barly missing the hale.  Sammy was so proud of herself when we got home, she loves running in crummy weather.

Oh what a beautiful morning sun shining with not so beautiful ice and lots of snow. We ran south on plowed parkway yea! Lots of ducks and Canadian Geese honking and quacking and the rest of the birds sitting on the tree branches all puffed up against the cold about 22 degrees. Droped Sammy off and we were off north on the parkway there were lots of runners from team in training we were slightly tempted to drink their power aid of course we didn't.

I was unnaturaly tired after our run so took a quick nap. all the extra work and worry from Christmas must be tacking it's toll.

I felt like a slug so after some thought I put on my new trail running shoes and new tights and ran two miles north on my parkway. Trecherous as it was beautiful and the sunset was no slouch eaither. My new gear was just the ticket.

Our waterheater is being replaced today so we had to hurry and run before the plumber came (our son-in-law). I was so cold my legs were numb but Sammy the snow dog had a grand old time, she needs a harness so when she drags me its an even pull. I did a few pickups but its pretty hard on snow and ice.
