I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it.

On this first run in the snow, I really missed Allison's company. We mostly ran together during the winter because she was often gone for large parts of the summer. Today, at the last minute, I decided to run on the trail up and over the hill instead of taking the road. Heck, the snow didn't look too bad. Well, it was 6-8 inches deep and I wasn't wearing gators or the right shoes! My Drymax socks worked out great, they kept my feet warm and dry for much longer than my other socks. I stayed pretty warm from the running. I saw moose tracks, bear tracks and elk tracks. It was a fun run. Yes, I had my injection kit with me. A couple more pictures...
