Most people: it's really coming down out there...nice day to stay inside and be cozy.
Me: lookitthesnow! Where are my running shoes?!

Next time I think "that clunking noise doesn't sound good" I think I'll stop and walk my bike. 😂

Robert MacFarlane's "Is a River Alive?" is excellent, and this line is relatable content (not for actual river boating, because haha. No. but just being outdoors...being Not At Home):
'When I'm on a river trip like this,' he says, 'I feel alive again. At times at home, I feel half-dead.'

Wind picked up and the waves are pushing the icy shards and making nice little sounds...

"But worse fate will await people at the coasts everywhere if the world keeps burning fossil fuels- less than two versus eight feet of sea level rise within a lifetime. The first situation might just be manageable. The other will surely be catastrophic."

That's some sticky snow.

Ice fog. 🥰
(Or hoar frost. Tbh I have read the diff a million times but I can't tell when I see it. It was foggy but it has more to do with how things freeze. Either way, it's all beautiful and why I love winter running, and why you're getting 4 pics instead of 1 today).

Just me and the birds this morning for #5amRunClub.
Well, me and the little "how about we try some speed work??" demon.
Go away pal. We're not ready yet...

November.
When you suddenly find your face being pummeled by icy shards in the headwind.

Lots of mallards passing through right now.
They're incredibly common here, but I never tire of the orange feet. 🥰

For some reason when I see handsome ducks I think of Tom Kitten and the puddle ducks who get dressed in the kittens' clothes.

Do you think ducks have a sense of how handsome they are?

As per tradition, one must run in the first snowfall as a signal that you just keep running....

I thought he was just some foliage at first and my eyes were playing tricks on me. This guy was hiding just up from Hartwell.

I am guessing this may be my last #SpotTheHeron of the year?

Funny little weirdos* are back in packs doing their hilarious head bobbing. Highly entertaining and the show is free at Dow's lake for the next couple of weeks. ;) Come for the head bobs, stay for the mallard quacks and chitter-chatter and geese flybys.
