8r4d I don’t think I’ve ever walked down this trail with the lights lit before.

They just finished building it in the fall and I can’t say that the dog and I ventured down this new trail as much in the winter as we did in the summer, and what with the coyotes roaming around this part of the world it’s not particularly safe after dark.

I spent the better part of the sunlit hours in front of a Zoom call doing the third day of my fourth class of my business certification work. A walk was in order, but you’d think I’d have a bunch of pent up energy to stroll forever. In reality, I was drained and we just strolled, lit by this nifty lamps which should make it safer—but then coyotes don’t care about a bit of light do they?

8r4d I am a bit of a sucker for convenience in location, so the fact that nearly half my #coffee adventures end up at one of the four starbucks within spitting distance of my house is a sad little surprise. I try to support local, but I spend almost as much on gas as I do on coffee, then, and oil money to me seems dirtier than coffee coin.

That’s my little political rant for the day.

Aside from that, I had accumulated enough points-stars or whatever and cashed it in today for a branded ceramic mug. So, at least if I’m not being consumer conscious, there is a chance I’m queuing up for the environment, huh?

8r4d The weather is still holding around freezing for some late #winter #running adventurers, but the forecast is not looking so lovely for next week. I’ll take ice and puddles over minus twenty and more snow!

8r4d It’s minus thirty out on this blustery #winter day so #running was an indoor activity. I’m not a fan of the track, but it beats the couch.

8r4d Our snowy #winter #running adventure was sparsely populated but roundly enjoyed by all who came out. A lot of folks assumed the trails would be a mess but the combination of rain and #snow left them grippy enough to make for a solid 9k loop with decent traction.
