Winter Wonderland Run

As soon as it became obvious that it would snow, I looked forward to my weekend run. The thought of the ground covered in snow and temperatures in the mid 20's made me want to run more than I usually do. Everyone I mentioned it to thought I was crazy, but it was the idea of something different that made it more entertaining. When you plan on training as much as I do this year, variety can be your best friend, and I welcomed the opportunity to have a little different scenery. As far as I'm concerned I'd choose cold temperatures and great views over running on a treadmill at the gym any day.
