Grumpy Runner

People gotta learn to share the trails. Sheesh.

Good run tonight. No sign of the two horse and carriage combos that were picking people up in front of the Y when I came home. They picked up a few people and then trotted over the Jaipur bridge before turning toward The River Cafe. All kinds of gimics come out for Christmas parties.

I was across the island and heading down the promenade. Cold, windy and not too many out tonight. Also clear, though the forecast has been threatening snow. A lovely sight low in the southwest sky was the grouping of Venus and Jupiter, with the moon a little further south. Last night they would have been quite close together.

I took to the 14th Street bridge and then followed back along Memorial Drive. Nobody out hardly. But there was the usual crowd running up and down The Stairs.

Nice outing.
