Creative commuting

Ah, the snow, the ice, the dark. Winter. Luckily, I got some ice grippers for my shoes for Christmas. It would not be a good thing to run or walk along and thwack myself on the head.

I'm having to get creative to find time to run when it isn't dark, and I'm enjoying running as a form of creative commuting these days. Last week, I ran with the jogging stroller to our local shopping strip to bring some children's clothes in for consignment. On the weekend, I ran down through our suburban streets into a local forest, down a long gravel road, through a cemetery to a meeting on sustainability in our community. I thought that it was a great fit all around. Nutty running through snow person meets sustainable commuter.

And you know what? It often takes less time than the bus....

Good for you for finding creative ways to get your running in! I'm feeling lazy now...
