Swift Fish Net

Most of my runs tend to be fairly repetitive. I don’t notice much of a difference between them from one day to the next, but every now and then there are special days like today that stick out. I think it is related to a number of factors with weather, energy, and state of mind [...]

We ended up with a couple of inches of sleet from this past week’s storm. It quickly froze to a rather solid sheet of ice. With that, and the failure of some prompt sidewalk clearing, I suspected that finding a running route where I wouldn’t get run over by cars this week might be challenging. [...]

I went out this morning to take a look at the beaver dam a little ways below Lake Needwood, along the Rock Creek Trail. With the sub-freezing weather we’ve been having, it was looking quite artistic with the interesting shapes from ice accumulation.

It finally got cold enough this week in Maryland for a bit of snow. I intentionally waited for the snow to accumulate a bit before going out running about a half hour before sunset.

It has been a while since I last posted, so it seems like a good time for a general update.
