MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
I know that I don't post on as many blogs as I should but wanted everybody to know that I really appreciate all of the support that I get from the blog. Even though I have only met some of you a time or two, the relationships that I have developed on the blog have meant a lot to me. I hope that everyone has a great Christmas!
I've never run on Christmas before but I had a couple of hours to kill this year so I decided to go for a run. Since it was Christmas and I would be hitting 3,000 miles during this run I wanted it to be an adventure. I drove up to the BST trailhead by Eaglewood golf course and figured that running on a snowy trail would be fun. Running uphill, into the wind (gusting up to 40 or 50 mph), in a foot of snow made it much more of an adventure than I planned. The pace was very slow and at times I had to walk because the snow was too deep. I got excited a couple of times when I saw the trail was clear for a stretch until I realized that the reason the trail was cleared was because the wind was blowing so hard. Got to the antennas hoping to see a glorious view of the valley but it was too cloudy and wasn't much of a view (see picture below). Hung out at the top for a while then headed back to the car. It was a fun run and was nice to get out. 
Here is a picture of me at mile 3,000.
