Winter's dismal appearance changes on these days that I force myself out for a run, pushed forward by my son's puppy, "Ellie". Hard to let her down in her ever stimulating excitement.
The truth is I like it, I like that she is learning to be a trail dog, that she is learning to climb rocks, that she stays at my side while we run...that she has learned...I need her too and so she has brought me here.
