Winter Has Arrived In Pittsburgh

You are currently viewing Winter Has Arrived In Pittsburgh

Lots of snow today and I really wish I was able to run in it.

I love to run in the snow, especially on days like today, where there is minimal wind.  I typically just wrap up warm, and go on a long, slow run.  I find the whole experience, peaceful and rejuvenating.

The snow dampens the sound of my feet.  I can hear myself breathing.  The air is fresh and crisp in my lungs.  The trees are no longer bare when draped in snow.  Birds like cardinals and animals like deer, are easier to see against the white background. 

I am usually alone out there, which makes it even more special.  Time to relax and to think.  Time to reflect and to anticipate.  Time to be thankful.

I am sure this will not be our last snowfall of the winter.  I really hope not.  Did I mention … I love to run in the snow.

 

Quick footnote :  My website is pretty basic right now.  I chose to start sharing first, rather than spending time making the website complete before launching the blog.  I’m looking forward to building the website over time into a useful resource for you .. just another part of my ‘life’ that you will get to read about.
