The ground is now hard,
where before it cushioned me.
Puddles become ice.


Running in Winter
Seeing my breath in the cold.
Where is my shadow?


I startle some geese
as I run through a field.
They fly noisily.

                                                     The days are longer
                                                    after the winter solstice.
                                                        But I can’t tell yet. 



                                                     Running in the cold
                                             Makes us tougher they all say.
                                                  Still glad for treadmill!



                                                  Snow looks so pretty,
                                            I think I’ll make some footprints.
                                                  Crunchy sound it makes.
