Winter 2.0

Winter took a break for a second there, and then punched us in the guts with a big storm.  Alaina and I weren't fooled by the brief reprieve.

HA Ha ha. Today was supposed to be an EZ run through the woods with Coder Bear. The 6-8 inches of fresh stuff had other plans though. It didn't take too long to figure out that running in other people's uneven, barely packed down tracks was actually harder than running right through the calf-deep powder. Which meant doing high knee drills for about 30 minutes. OW! Lungs will be burning from this one for a while.  Cody had a blast as she always does, and watching her little waggly butt bound through the snow made me happy like a seal in the surf.

Amazingly, my Smartwool socks kept me totally dry and warm through the deep stuff, even though they were caked with an inch of ice chunks when we got home. LOVE those socks.

I shall henceforth be known as Snowbeard.

Smartwool loveliness.
