Well, UVRC, we did it. We made it through all 479 days of January. I don’t know about you, but last month seemed to move quickly initially, and then ddddddrrrraaaaggggged on for the last week or so. But, alas, I finally turned the page on our calendars, and it’s beginning to show. A few nights ago, my dogs and I finished our walk around 5:30pm, and WE DIDN’T NEED A HEADLAMP. Full disclosure, to the winter haters out there, I am one of those annoying people who gets giddy at every snowfall; fewer things in life make me happier than snow-covered trees. I’m never sad when it’s snowing, but the dark eventually wears on me. Whether it’s a lack of a headlamp or my dog delaying the start of her dinnertime begging dance by a few minutes each night, it is so nice to notice it staying lighter later.
February means that the first race in the Upper Valley Running Series is right around the corner, and the local race scene will only get busier from there. Now is the time to stay consistent in your running, and there’s no better way to do that than surrounded by fellow members of our running community. I look forward to ditching those evening headlamps with you all in due time, but until then, our UVRS finisher friends will continue to light the way for us at TNT in their fancy new prizes from the 2024 series. And, come sun, rain, or snow, Beth’s delicious muffins will continue to refuel our Saturday morning crew, as evidenced below.
Cheers to more daylight!
Kristina
