Monday Monday

One of my Monday morning commuter trails along Bear Creek, Boulder

For several years now, my Monday has started with a dawn run to my volunteer job at Audio Information Network of Colorado (AINC), roughly 37-43 minutes each way depending on conditions and general liveliness.  In the depths of winter, this early morning run can be quite a challenge and this winter has been no exception.  As described in my running log:

• Monday, December 15th: Home-AINC - on ice. Yuck. 53 minutes. Got a ride home.
• Monday, December 22nd: Home - Baseline. Too icy. Called K for a ride. 24 minutes.
  AINC - neighborhoods - prez prop trail - home. 48 minutes
• Monday, December 29th: Home-AINC. Horrible conditions. Ice/snow pack roads; black ice sidewalks. 51+ minutes. Decided to bus home.
• Monday, January 5: Home-AINC. 47 minutes. AINC-home 41 minutes. Snow/ice-pack. 
  5 degrees going to AINC, 42 degrees coming home! Warm air ribbons like passing by an open oven
