The strange things you find in the middle of busy streets when running. I have to think this looked really odd carrying the last mile of my run though. ๐จ๐ค

Just an amazing find running today. Utilizing all this excess show we have been getting by building a huge fort in the middle of the cul-de-sac. Well done family or families that are involved!
Another 3.5 hr drive home where luckily the weather wasnโt too bad. Started to rain but wasnโt slick yet. However, what a fun time being able to take my dad and son to a ISU Basketball game. Also, they won so what more could these two fans ask for!
3.5 hrs later we made it to our destination as my son is a huge fan! So I guess go Cyclones ๐ช๏ธ๐ซฃ


โ It is going to be a long day with two 3.5 hrs driving stretches at some point. Just keep the coffee flowing.
This is really a minor gripe in the grand scheme of things but I wish the sidewalks were clear. This should be a sidewalk next to this this busier road that was my only way home so I played a frogger style going from side street to side street. ๐ธ
Junk miles today… I say this because I had only a certain amount of time to do this run. I was so worried that I wouldnโt get back to my daughters dance studio in time so when my shoe came untied at mile 1 I didnโt stop to tie it and kept trucking to the end. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ

Normally I stop to take pictures but this was taking while moving. I feel it is clearer than I thought it would have turned out.

For what started as other family members puzzle (they did the outside boarder) I was left to finish it as I couldnโt help myself. Glad to put this behind me as I think I spent way to much time last Monday working on it. This one helped a little as well from time to time ๐งฉ
Going to call it a night / week and start making the commute home ๐
Loving the bright sun reflecting off the frost of the trees today. Should have wore spikes running today. Letโs just hope someone was watching my slip sliding display in a nearby cul-de-sac. Didnโt crash as I caught myself with my hands but Iโm sure it was a sight.
Winter running tools needed during this night run. The side streets have not been plowed great and after an above freezing day with lots of menting snow the temps have turned again and are dropping. Didnโt fall.. Win! ๐ง
As much fun as blazing my own trail is I will take the hint as it is snowing again and assume this trail is closed. Thankfully the sidewalk I was on was cleared so it wasnโt too bad out running this evening. Just still snowingโฆ ๐จ๏ธ
Winter wonderland โ๏ธ - I have shoveled this path twice and ran the snow blower over it last night. Based on the amount of snow still falling I am not done yet with this task.
Nothing like running shuffling through deep snow today as there was probably 4-5 inches already on the ground and not plowed in some places. It was fun out there though โ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ


I did not do a face plant in the snow but the last 5 blocks was straight into the wind/snow.
