A Snowy Morning's Run
My body awakes before the alarm,
But my bed and wife are soft and warm.
Outside the streets are dark and cold,
And this runner's body is getting old.
But there will be no regrets today,
So on with the layers, and on my way
To the runner's corner...a little moan.
No buddies there. I run alone.
As through neighborhood streets in snow I wander,
I observe and listen and think and ponder.
The lamp-lit snowflakes gently fall,
Weaving a blanket of white over all.
My cushioned steps yield a muffled crunch,
I'm now thinking of running again at lunch.
My legs feel strong and my breathing is steady.
When spring races come, I hope to be ready.
Of what do runners think as they roam
Through snowy streets 'til they get back home?
Thoughts may travel from work to Rome,
But today, the result was this runner's poem. by Paul A. Thomas (8 Dec 2009)

| I asked Larry on our run this morning if he wanted to be "Dumb" or "Dumber". It was 1° when we headed out. Larry refers to these temperatures as "stupid cold", inferring I think that only stupid people go out when it's this cold. He's probably right, but it's a paradox. If I'm right about Larry being right, then I'm not stupid, but if he's right then I am stupid because I went running when it was stupid cold. Either way I guess I'm partially stupid, because I've been sporadic with my running recently in the cold. I'm either stupid on the days I do run, or stupid on the days I don't. I think I'll choose to think of myself as being free...free to run or not to run and still consider myself a rational and intelligent human being.

| We had to get back early for a ward breakfast this morning so we only managed 5.4 miles. It felt like much longer as it seemed that we slipped backward with each step in the snow. Oh well, we had Larry, Wayne, Kent and me out this morning, the most in a long time. Kevin was a little late getting out and guessed the wrong route so we never met up, but it sounds like he ran quite a bit faster than us as he tried to catch up. |
