A bonus at the end of my run today - the great blue herons are starting to nest. They build these huge nests in the tops of the trees near the river. No nests yet but they are in progress. Saw them flying over carrying reeds and then here just sitting in the tree.

That is awesome. Thanks for sharing the photo

@LoneWolfRunner I bet frozen eyelashes look cute on you.

I didn't see anything on my run today. Apart from icy roads and being dark as the deepest night (which is kind of usual for after-work-running in winter), today there was also really dense fog, swallowing sounds and rendering my flashlights completely useless. I couldn't see people or things until they suddenly were right in front of me, that made for some fun times... It's those kind of runs during which I realise I read too many books with vampires, serial killers, and other creatures that lurk in the darkness

@_nikkiwolf_ I get fog like that in summer and snowstorms like that now. I never imagined creepy things lurking around me before though. Thanks for that, my solo runs will never be the same
@HonuNui - Love the chevron butterflies! That's another beautiful thing I'd never see here.
@shanaber - The herons in the treetops are spectacular! Whenever summer arrives I'll see them in my pond and river all the time, I rarely see them in the trees.
@LoneWolfRunner - Where is this warm spell you speak of? My forecast predicts one 30 degree day next Tuesday and that's the only 'high' temp day in the next 2 weeks. BTW the frozen eyelash thing, so ready to be done with that.

_Date___ Miles

[img]I don't get to the beautiful views on my runs as some of you, but I guess I'll share a piece of my happiness [/img]

Best view EVER!!! I'm so excited for you wow! I adopted my daughter so I never had the honor of seeing a sonogram of her. As a matter of fact, she comes from your sweet Homeland.

First run since getting hurt and starting PT. He said no more than 2 miles and if feel good today I can do 2 more tomorrow. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to run so I'm keeping my goal at 40 for the month and hopefully by next month I'll be back to higher mileage. Still have my HM on the calendar for April.

2/7 - 2.1 miles

Total: 2.1 out of 40

Good to see you back on the road. Hopefully you remain pain free and are good to go again tomorrow!

One of the first to sign up and one of the last to get started. But start I did. Now let's see if I can paste this ticker correctly!
