Sometimes I run because I need to for my training plan. Sometimes I run because I just feel like it. When I run sometimes I laugh. When I run I think. When I run, sometimes I don’t think. I run to solve coding problems in my head. I run when I am frustrated. When I run, sometimes I cry. When I run, sometimes I heal. When I run I realize my blessings. But running is really therapy for me.

I needed to get out for a run this past weekend despite the weather. It snowed on Saturday and it was colder, but I enjoy running during or just after it snows. There is a special peace in the air. I needed to release stress and take a load off of my chest. Feeling the cold air in my lungs and the crunchy snow under my feet was the perfect prescription for me.

Here are pictures from my run over the weekend right after it snowed.
