The last few weeks have been really cold and rainy. There was one day my hair turned to actual icicles as I ran around the golf course. It was raining sideways, freezing, the wind was so strong. I remember returning to my house to find my babysitter giving me a strange look. I thought she was shocked to find out I had run in such dreadful weather but when I got upstairs to take a hot shower I saw the major raccoon eyes that probably freaked her out.
Today I went to my favorite running spot, Grand Mere Park. The number of hours I’ve logged in this park over the last 7 years is huge. My sister in law Cathy introduced me to this park (despite the fact that hunters may hunt close to the trails and she would shriek and duck every time we heard a distant gunshot). I used to run with my dog out there every weekend in the fall and winter (in the summer there’s too many ticks and mosquitoes). I even braved the woods back when there were all the “cougar” sightings in that and the surrounding area. Really people, a cougar in Michigan, sheesh.
There is something invigorating about GM Park. Today I did ran for almost an hour and felt so grateful for the peace and strength of the woods.
