Snow Day!

I know what you are thinking. A snow day in the middle of the Mohave desert at 500 feet elevation? Well not exactly. I work in our Kingman office on Tuesdays and Kingman is at about 3000 feet and it snowed hard enough to close down all the roads this morning, so we closed the office for the day. There was snow on the mountains surrounding Havasu though which is very rare.

After getting some work done that I’ve been procrastinating, I did some core core work then headed out on the trails with no real plan but to run easy and have fun. I found a new trail and was enjoying the run when I stepped on a rock wrong coming down a steep decent and sprained my ankle. It hurt real bad at first but I walked it off and finished the last mile of my run gingerly. I’ve sprained my ankles many times so they don’t swell too much anymore when I do it, but it aches pretty good right now. I’m sure it will be sore for a few day but I should be able to run on it still.

I heard it snowed in Kingman. I probably would've heard from a lot more people, but I've been off Facebook for about 3 weeks now. We got some visible snow on our mountains around here, too. Careful with that ankle.

Snow in the desert is crazy.

Good job getting off facebook! You're life will be way happier and you'll have a lot more time to do more important things.
