happy 2009 winter solstice!

happy winter solstice! winter's cold weather actually arrived a couple of weeks ago - and was punctuated with the first snowstorm this weekend. as of 12:47 this afternoon, it's official.

winter is my least favorite season. cold weather running is tough. toss in wind, snow, sleet, and other unpleasant weather elements, and it's even less fun. but the miles have to get run.

thankfully, the upside of the winter solstice, the days start getting longer again! and there's plenty to be said for the occasional snow day (or two) ;p
