Cougar Mtn., Dec. 27, 2008





Snowy! Weatherfolks wrong again--no rain after all. Hardest part of drive: getting off N Cap Hill.

Lost Danika to common sense and Shadow to the bench (car) but Tracy, Ali, and self ambled through slush at low elevation and nicer snow higher up--windier there too. Can't go slower than we went unless you were buried there but it would be hard to have a better time. Great to get out and scrape some of the indoors off. Burned up one or two of the Christmas beer calories as well.

When all was said and done, back to the cars for cranberry cookies (Tracy) and excellent coffee and bags of caramels (Ali). 

So, that's my long run of the week--fivish miles in twoish hours. Tracy is doing six or eight marathons later in the week, seems like, but to each his/her own.

Great to have good running buddies to spread the craziness around.

Livin' the dream!
