I should be doing homework.

Nine miles today, two inches of fresh snow, one frozen polar scarf, one dog with icy chin, one soaked Marmot Driclime jacket, two waterproof running shoes encasing two very tired feet, two really exhausted legs. Running through unshoveled snow today was what I imagine it would be like to run through flour. The snow that fell is really dry, and it squeaks and creaks underfoot. It’s really cool and it’s really gorgeous.

  • Here in Texas when Toots is running, she hears the dry, coarse, water thirsty Texas dirt crumble beneath her feet. If she’s lucky she won’t fall into those small sinkholes that form when the ground doesn’t get enough moisture.

  • Unfortunately he’s not too far off from the truth. As I ran today I noticed a lot of patchwork on the roads….

  • Ah, yes, the land of no basements.
