The engine on the Excuse Chain was steamed up and ready to roll through today, and then my friend @soul4real shamed me on Facebook (from what I can tell she was watching football today), so I planned for an easy afternoon run. It snowed last night, but looked like it was lifting to just clouds.

By the time I got dressed and failed to get my MP3 player working (out of juice) I noticed it was raining,

The Excuse Train conductor was lifting a foot off the brake.

So I said WTF, strapped on my old running shoes, and left the iPhone at home, so was tuneless. Just went for an easy loop around the Strawberry neighborhood, nothing flat, lots of up and down little, but steep, hills. Byt the time I got out there, full fledged snow was falling in big chunky flakes.

So I went about 1.3 miles and opted to walk the last hill home.

There, put the train back in the station.
