That's Why

On this Monday morning run ...

• I was again confined to the plowed, low-traffic roads instead of using the sidewalks
• Elly kept veering into me hogging the plowed paths pushing me into the snow
• It was 20 degrees warmer than the last time I ran outside
• It was an adventure avoiding the potty spots of dogs before us who made it into the snow ... but not to a yard ...
• I kept my eye out for money but found none
• I wished we had more turkey-n-soyrizo on deck for dinner
• I was thankful to be outside
• I was more thankful tomorrow's a Rest Day
• I thought about how the "race-within-a-race" (miles 6-8, all up hill) taking place at the upcoming Half has a big chocolate bar as a prize and how I will not be winning that chocolate bar
• I was really thankful that the dog charging us really respected its own yard boundaries

And, all of that is why my hair ended up looking like this:


See you tomorrow from a relaxed position!
