I totally forgot to log my run yesterday--lost track of time I guess.  Or maybe my schizophrenia is kicking in and I 'lost time' as they say.  The moon was so full and so bright today, I ran without the headlamp.  The moon was sort of low in the West sky, and so bright I could hardly look at it straight on.  It threw so much light it made moon shadows of us running, and of the leafy tree branches.  There were 3 groups of runners on the pre-dawn road this morning.  I'm always glad when there are more of us out there.  I'd like to be able to use the trail instead of the road, but the shade from the trees make it too dark and icy in the a.m. during the winter.  I wonder how the road will treat me once it snows-- they say that'll be this weekend!!!! I wish the snow would hurry; I crave that muffled peace and purity in the world, that only a white blanket of snow can provide.  That and my Sundance passes are burning a hole in my glove compartment.

Snow and skiing is the best part of winter! Another good thing I get to miss out on this year :( However, no regrets!

Glad you got another beautiful run in this morning, the moon truly was amazing!!

I'd say running is worse for you than skiing (if you take it easy anyway). Why can't you ski, that's just no fair--even if it is 'for a good cause'.

I guess I've always just been worried about falling as I ski...THAT is the dangerous part, and you must remember I'm a pansy and would constantly be worried I'd hit some ice and tumble head over heels. Funny though, I don't think I've fallen when I've been skiing for the past 5 years! Maybe I should stop worrying :)

Oh man, I fall all the time. But my body parts at hightest risk of damage aren't the same ones as where the baby lives. But I do remember the self-protective instinct. I was asked to speak in front of a group of about 50-75 people for work thing, and I refused. I felt hyper-vunerable and didn't want anyone looking at me while I was pregnant. It was wierd. So, even while skiing may not technically pose a big risk early on -- I do remember that hormones sorta ran my pregnancy game. But hey, I've got two healthy kids to prove that I wasn't all wrong to trust my insticts. That and all the pickle juice and avacadoes.
