Much the same plan as the previous day, except this time it was a bright sunny day so my ability to see everything around me through my glasses was unimpaired. Also, very glad I went running late in the afternoon again - got to appreciate the full range of lighting conditions from bright sun casting sharp shadows in the forest, through sunset with the orange to pink lambent glow on the horizon, to full dusk/not quite dark. Somewhat more people out and about on the park trails and on all the likely hills for sledding.

Event: QOC Cabin John - CANCELLED
 

Having spent much of the morning and afternoon reading the most wintry book I've read in years (Naomi Novik's latest, Spinning Silver - pretty much as smashing a success as her previous, Uprooted), went out late in the afternoon for a wintry trail run in Rock Creek Park. Most of the six or whatever inches of snow we got was already down, though snow was still falling. Took at small handheld light with me just in case full darkness fell while I was still out but didn't need it. Nice to get out while the snow was still falling, though it makes it difficult, with my glasses on, to fully appreciate some of the scenic aspects. Should have thought to wear contacts.
