Back in August I started a series called Picture This Run. Today’s installment will be about waking up to a beautiful fresh powdery snowfall and strapping on our Yaktrax before heading out for an adventuresome run.
We had record snowfall in the winter of 2010 (actually I just made that up, but we did have a lot of snow). After waking up one morning in February 2010 and peering out the window, Bill and I decided the fresh powder would be a delight to run in! The next two pictures aren’t a view out of our bedroom window, but instead a view back toward our house. I glanced over my shoulder and snapped these photos as we took off for our run…
After we run through the clearing beside our house, we round the corner and can cross either one or two bridges depending on the direction we want to run…
We chose to cross the second bridge and run to a neighboring community and around their lake…
Running through the neighborhood trails we saw a deer family, but they spooked easily and ran away…
We had a delightful run, and I got home just in time to shovel the driveway and sidewalk before my clients started arriving for their workouts!
- Questions:
- You wake up to several inches of fresh snow, do you go run or go back to sleep?
- What’s your favorite rave run?
- Who’s racing this weekend?
That looks like a GORGEOUS run! I love it. You live in a beautiful area.
Mother Nature was very generous with her beauty that morning!
Breathtaking! I wish I could have run there this morning, looks so peaceful.
I would run in it with the right gear. When the snow hit us in Missouri I had no special contraptions for my feet and there are so many hills I knew I would risk injury so I stayed indoors. Now that I have some stableicers it hasn’t snowed 🙁
Of course, isn’t that the way it always is? Maybe you’ll get more snow soon!
You wake up to several inches of fresh snow, do you go run or go back to sleep?
– depends where you wake up. At home -> running, on business trip or away from home -> rather go to work
Anyway, wonderful pictures! I wish we have at least little bit of snow here in Slovakia.
Thanks for visiting my blog all of the way from Slovakia.
Looks so stunning! Although I love ocean views, fresh show is pretty special, too!
Both are beautiful for viewing when running!
I want one good snow like that so I can go running in it & then build snowmen with my girls! Gorgeous pics!
We are expecting 4-6 inches of snow starting tomorrow morning. I’m hoping to get a run in before the super cold air hits and the winds pick up!
That looks like a beautiful run! If I can get to the running trail, I will run in a fresh snow 🙂 Barry and I have done so several times, thanks to his truck with four wheel drive. Unfortunately, I can’t just step out our door and go for a run in the snow, because it would be too dangerous on the roads.
We have that same prediction of snow tomorrow. I can’t wait to see what we get!
I love the way running in fresh snow feels on my legs. It’s like running on firm clouds!
