Moody Slough My Old Friend

The countdown begins...6 more days in my in house in cozy Winters (population~6,000). Only 6 more days to run Moody Slough Road, my favorite and nearby run through farms and orchards with a view of the Berryessa Mountains. I have ran this road faithfully for the last six and half years. In the winter, I would wake up while dark careful not to disturb my snoozing husband as I clamored for my running tights and REI long-sleeve shirt and headband. Armed with a flashlight and water bottle, I would descend into the dark and fog inhaling crisp and frigid air. In the summer, shorts and cold water were staple items to endure the heat and sun. On the weekends, as I caught my running rhythm through open fields I watched hot air balloons take off into the sapphire sky. Yes, Moody Slough is like an old loyal friend. When I felt crummy and needed a boost, Moody Slough was there to lift my mood. When I felt strong and invincible, Moody Slough laughed at the challenge and said "How fast can you go?"


Goodbye Moody Slough I will miss you!
