Total Distance
10.00

Every once in awhile you hit it just right. Tonight was one of those nights. Evening run from water tower, down through Thanksgiving business park, down Garden Drive (out and back) and jumped on to the golf course for 5.5 miles then back to water tower via MATC and Megaplex theatres.

Today's storm dropped 2"-3" of fresh snow. Floating on blanket of new snow on the cart paths--sometimes hard to tell the path from the course. Not a track or ripple. Clear skies, trackless perfect snow covering, glow from the city lights bouncing off of low hanging clouds, cold and crisp. A bit slick in spots. Magical.

That is a fantastic description. Not that I have any interest in running in snow, but it does sound amazingly serene. "Floating" ..Wow!

Thanks Tom. Once the snow gets tracked up, freezes and refreezes, it's not the same experience. Get out sometime right after it snows--pretty cool.

Sounds pretty awesome.
