It is cold and winter and it’s dark so so early. But getting out seems to be the only way to get back. Grateful for a morning run with a friend and an evening walk with another friend in between an uninspiring day. #decembermood

If I was going to title this morning’s pre-run photograph, I might title it “Stop a minute before you go.” Even more so in the last year and a half of the pandemic, I struggle to be present.

And now, so grateful for turkey, wine and pie. #gratitude #trailrunning #everyrunhasapurpose #optoutside
