My first thought this morning was how glad I was I wasn't running the Nutcracker 5K with Tom this morning. Fresh snow on top of wet slush...not ideal racing conditions. Larry and I had a pretty enjoyable trot through the snow along the canal road (the roads were too slushy). Even at an easy pace the footing was a little iffy in spots. It will be interesting to see how the tutu run went this morning. The snow was a nice way to welcome in December. My two youngest daughters giggled down the stairs this morning and went straight to our advent calendar (felt Christmas tree with ornaments) and put up the first ornament. Even Larry's dog Ozzy had an extra bounce in his step as he ran through the snow. We also passed a few groups of kids up early sledding down the snow-covered hills near their homes. There were also times when it was very quiet as we padded through the snow along the canal. Ah, the running life. Ain't it grand.
