Cold Run, Snow Men

A bit unexpected, but Liz and I went out for a run today in the cold.

She had gotten back in the early afternoon, and began suiting up to go running. I wasn’t prepared for this, and was debating… and then decided to also suit up, and to go with her.

It’s hard for me to run out in the cold, despite having a lot of good gear (that I got for Xmas). The temperatures put me off, but I have to confess – it’s just the initial hesitation. Once I’m out there, it’s not too bad.

We have matching colored jackets, because we are turning into that couple. I don’t think Liz did this on purpose when she bought me my jacket, but I can’t be 100% sure.

While doing a loop around Promontory Point, we spotted this rather dirty fellow. Perhaps there was a fire nearby. Perhaps global warming actually is real.

And in a remarkable Goofus and Gallant moment, we spotted this guy nearby. Sculpted, formed, almost an art installation.

You can almost hear him asking: “Why am I here? Why am I out here in the cold?”

You said it, buddy. You said it.
