Good thing I bought boots today. People were busy, so only Kaethe and I headed out for a quick latte tonight (actually it was a vanilla steamer, half the sugar and skim milk) and I walked her home (about a 2K walk) and then I walked back home (so 4 in total!). If you're in Ottawa, you would know it's pretty white out there tonight. I looked like the abominal snowman when I came into the house.
After I dropped Kaethe off, I put my ipod on, the snow was falling, I was toasty warm and I remembered how much I used to love running on these winter snowy nights. I would get so bundled up, throw on my shoes and put music on. I would go out for a few minutes or an hour, depending on how I felt and I don't know if it was actually the running in the snow that made me so giddy afterwards or simply knowing that I had braved the weather and done it, but whatever it was... I would have a perma smile afterwards (or was my face just frozen?). There's absolutely nothing stopping me from running at night, Carson is in bed by 6:30 and I don't go to bed till 9...I just have to do it once and then I will be hooked.
Wish me luck to get out there one night!

Oh gads, now i'm craving a vanilla bean steamer from Second Cup. Oh wait, are those to die for Gingerbread Lattes back???? Oh gads...
Running in the snow--I'd break my ankle. 8) But have fun! Its weather like this that makes me glad to have a treadmill. I LOVE walking out there though. Or being out there at all. I even enjoy cleaning off my driveway! Ya, I'm that nuts.
