~9.7 miles @ ~12.6 min/mi

Clementine Courier: neither snow nor sleet nor (lack of) sanity can stop him. Today's mission, during the latest snowstorm, is to drop off citrus fruit for DS Robin — who scores major mojo points himself by being outside shoveling the sidewalk when I arrive at mile 4. Outbound discover a Little Free Library in front of a house near the corner of Hayden Dr and Gardiner Av. During the return trip divert to deliver the last two mini-oranges to comrades Barry Smith and Amy Couch.

Lessons learned:

  • there can be an amazing depth of liquid water concealed under the ice;
  • footprints of predecessors in the woods don't always indicate the true trail;
  • try not to drop a glove in a puddle when texting or taking photos;
  • goggles or glasses might be helpful if running into the wind when snow is falling hard.
