Although a mile and a half is covered in snow, I decided to run the hilly Camp Cardinal loop.  It was pretty slow going, but enjoyable.

 

I have come to a realization--I have survived the winter.  Of course, it's not over.  (We are supposed to get another eight inches of snow this weekend.)  But, I seriously feel like I can handle anything that Old Man Winter throws at me.

Another snow/ice storm?  No big deal.

More fierce wind?  Give me your worse.

Negative temperatures?  BRING IT ON!
