Thanks to the cold, the city has been experiencing a rash of water main breaks and this morning there is a river of ice and slush down my street.  As it is -27C out there, it freezes quickly once it hits the surface. I don’t know yet if my house is directly affected.  I’ll run a load of laundry and see what happens. I don’t want to find out 5 minutes into a shower.

Although it is cold it is sunny and bright. Yesterday I hiked around a campground and stayed off the river, because the wind was quite bitter and I needed the shelter of the trees. When I got home I did a simple core and strength set, which really hurt. Told me just how long it had been since I tried to challenge my body. I am not sure I will snowshoe today - I have a lot of errands to run but if it stays sunny I might take the dog out again and we can both run off some steam. I had the podrunner 5k 1st week session on, and although I won’t try running in snowshoes I did kick it up a notch or two for the intervals. If I remember my camera I will take some shots of the trail…for those of you thinking how nice it would be to get real snow…careful what you wish for….lol

This is my back patio on Jan 1….I forgot to bring in all the patio furniture in time and now it is buried and frozen in place. I can’t open the door to get it anyway.
