Had to drop a gift off at the school for my daughter’s teacher as she left it on the counter at home. I figured on my drive back since it was around lunch time it would be the perfect time to get a short run done in an area of streets I go by and never have done before. ✅

Well… I just happed to check our doorbell camera at the right time today to be able to capture this gem… 🫣🏀📦

I think my brothers comment is spot on… 😆

“Well, there is a reason he’s not playing basketball and he’s delivering for FedEx.”

How could I pass up this snow day run! My only regret was I decided to go trails and I realized that the boardwalk has some bumps so started to take it real slow as I was blazing my own trail through the woods.

Sometimes you just have to dress up for the work holiday party and deck the shed office with some lights. Kind of sad I didn’t do more as planned but it has been busy. 🤷‍♂️

After a long weekend away from home and no running it was good to find some time to get a run in today. The weather wasn’t too bad at all but a little slick on some sidewalks.

As strange as this day started I still found 45 min for myself this morning to get a run in. I think I will be thanking myself for this as the weekend will be a long one.

It was a real cold one today but again thankful the sun was out to keep this run warm enough. Still would like to find some more miles tomorrow if possible before a busy hockey / swim weekend.

Snow and Cold today on this run circling the lake. The first lap was pretty cold the whole time and I made my own tracks but thankfully after warming up the second lap wasn’t to bad and the sun out helped too. (10°F actual with a -6°F feel like)

I had limited time on this Friday but it was warmer today than the others this week so I decided to get out for a run. This pond was mostly frozen but not all the way in a couple parts. Let’s just hope no one tries to go out there yet.

With this the 2024 Gott Walker Ice rink is open for business. The girls and Big Darbs tested it out. I will say after shoveling it earlier today Darby was so excited to get on the rink and more importantly run all round the rink. 🏒

Smile! 😀 Why not, I am out running which I enjoy and my ankle didn’t bother me which I was worried about. Also, the sun was out today and no wind making it not bad at all even though the temp was 18°F.

Don’t let the sun in this photo fool you as it was up till this point on the run it was windy and overcast. Running wise things were good until about 1 mile from home and my ankle started hurting a pain I have not felt before so let’s hope that goes away soon. 😬

Was a cold run out there today and I seemed to have ran across some pumpkin massacre on the trail. I am not sure I have seen so many destroyed pumpkins in one place.
