Well it was supposed to be at least, but with weather like this sometimes you have to just say eff it. I thought about riding, but that didn't pique my interest, so instead, I put on my running shoes and loaded up the Dakine pack and then took off on a route unknown. Before I knew it I was headed out on Junction with thought of going over to Fall Creek.
Steve rolled up on his cross bike with plans for a similar ride and we chatted for a bit. I thought about just turning around at the CT/Falls Creek junction, but just kept running. When I saw the Falls Creek single track, I couldn't stop here either, so on I went.
I took the fun and narrow singletrack down to the Zink Waterfall Trail or whatever it is called. There was some ice, but it was cool to be on that trail in January. When it merged into the old road things got better and no ice at all.
So from here a few more miles back into town, over to 32nd street and man I was tired. So I headed over to Bread and got a coffee cake and some coffee. Man that hit the spot. From here it was onto Bread Express and a run back home. A nice 19-miler to close out the week.
I'm afraid to say it, because I do like the snow - but this is turning into an awesome January. I guess enjoy it before the dry summer comes.

Nice that you got this run in before the snow came to dampen the trails!
