So last night Marsha texts me "how cold is too cold to run?".  Oh Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!  Still such a light weight.  But that's ok, she will learn the ways of the winter running.  She can hack it.  So I texted back "Why U skerd?"  So she goes "Oh a challenge huh?  OK bring it".  That-a-girl!  It's hardly even below freezing yet and we have miles to go before we sleep. It was so worth it this morning.  The night sky was filled with meteors.  It was really something to run through the dark fields surrounded by shooting stars.  Nature feels like a secret that early in the morning.  After we were done Marsha said "Aren't you glad I made you come?"  I'm so glad she's game for all this pre-dawn, below freezing nonsense.  Because I 'm going to do it with or without her.  It's just nice to have company.

Sounds like good times. Now we just need to wait for the nose hair freezing weather.

That is so funny! I've forgotten all about how that happens. I only can remember frozen purple fat and iron lung.
