I had a nice four-miler planned for today. I was going to get up early, but due to circumstances beyond my control I wasn't in bed until almost 1:00 last night. I should have got up anyway, but I know from experience that sleep is as important to my health and well-being as running is. I have to find a way to fit both. Anyway. My half-mile run was on top of Cedar Mountain late this afternoon. Remind me never to go up there in the winter ever again. My oldest son wanted to run up the C trail and he asked me to meet him at the top and give him a ride back. It's been so dry this month, it never occured to me there would be snow up there (guess I'm still new around here). Driving in the snow is not my favorite activity, and a snow-packed mountain road with a drop off and no road barriers is the stuff my nightmares are made of. Anyway - I didn't get stuck, but I eventually parked in a dry patch and ran to meet him at the top of the C and drive him back down. At least he got 4-5 miles out of it. The things I do for my children.....
