Di - I usually compose my posts offline in Notepad because sometimes you do lose them when you write them directly as a post. I don't care for the dreary days, but I enjoy sunny winter days with the white snow and crisp air. Mostly I wuss out on the runs in the rain, or even just when it's damp, cold and dreary, but I sort of enjoyed the ones I just did, happy I was able to get motivated and it is a change from the usual. Landscapes look mysterious in the fog.  Different exercises use the muscles differently. So walking, cycling, running and other activities would each produce different strains on the joints and ligaments. Even a variation in your stride would change the way you use your muscles, so some runners will change their form during a long run to avoid fatigue. Surprised your DH is going for a new house, seems like a hassle, but shows he cares about you and your problems with getting to the center. I like the saying people are like porcupines, you want to gather together closely for warmth, but then the quills prick you!

Art - Smart to slowly ease back into longer distances when you don't know the cause of the hip pain. This time of year full sunlight become a rare event. Have to wait until Tuesday before we get another sunny day!

Overcast and slightly colder at 45 degrees today. I went for a six mile run.
The names of the farms can be amusing! This sign says the farm is "Devonian Park", a takeoff on the Jurassic Park movies. The wing like drawing is a brachiopod shell, fossils of which can easily be found in local shale formations. I've looked for trilobite fossils too, but never found one. The Devonian period lasted from 420 to 360 million years ago and was also known as the Age of Fishes.

Overcast, but a faint pink glows along the horizon.

Happy New Year to everyone.  No plans here.  Probably in bed by 10 like normal.  For the most part it's just another day.
