dec 23/WALK

1 mile, with Delia the dog
neighborhood
32 degrees

Another day off from running, another walk with Delia the dog. This time, Scott joined us. Very bright from the white snow and sky. No sun or shadows. Damp, chilled air. We made our way over to edmund and walked above the parkway. I don’t remember hearing any birds or dripping gutters or crunching snow. No smelling smoke or burnt coffee. I do remember feeling the cold air get under my hat and into my ears.

Later, around 7pm, RJP and I were coming back from Christmas shopping. She was driving us along the river road. I saw at least 3 different groups of runners on the path and in the dark. At least one of the runners in each group had a head lamp on. It was strange and delightful to see these lights bobbing in the air, higher than it seemed they should. It was only as we got closer that I could see the runner attached to the light.
