The twelve days of Christmas: 1,2

12/25/12, day one
four miles

Ran out to the Brridge on Christmas morning. A cold biting wind from the North and heavy clouds threatened a storm that never came. No traffic on Riverside, one other runner. Solitude in the city.

12/26/12, day two
five miles

A big loop mostly via Turkey's yellow trail. The air was cold, but still. Everything is so bright on the mountain in winter. Patches of ice out in the Arkansas. A thin coating over the ponds.

 

I recently cracked open Brandy's Imperial Sundae from Oklahoma's Mustang Brewing. This imperial porter tastes like a root beer float with a kick, a 9.2 abv kind of kick. It's a fairly sweet beer, but not sickeningly so. Good as a dessert drink.

Cheers!
