We went out today after a fresh snow had fallen and went running...if you could call it running. Mostly it was hopping quickly in and out of the snow. The snow was up to my knees and so it was a major strength workout for my legs. When I got done my entire body from the waist down was...OW OW OW. It was seriously beautiful out though. Fresh snow on everything....a lot of it still untouched until we came through.
We saw Scott Breeden out there...the guy who WON Tecumseh with a time of 3:05. Insanely good runner! Of course he and his friend sailed through and we never saw them again until we were getting ready to pull out of the parking lot down by the boathouse.
I spent a lot of time pretty far behind Chris and Alicia. They are better runners than me and seemed to be able to keep up a quick pace regardless of the depth of the snow. I was majorly impressed! But they were nice enough to wait up for me at the trail crossings so I didn't get lost out in the snow. It was easy to lose the trails out there as everything was so white and pristine.
Here was Lake Griffy down by the boathouse parking lot. My camera didn't capture it adequately but the hills were amazing looking. All white with such tall, pretty trees. I am happy I got to get out there and get some pictures and have some fun with my friends.
