My new running buddy

In preparation for the annual "Silvesterlauf," a New Years Day 10K sponsored by BMW or some affiliate, we hit the trails last Saturday to start training. It was so much fun, and it really wasn't all that cold. Can you tell?

P.S. Sorry the photo came out so dark. It's easier to see if you click on it for the larger version. And this is after I did some electronic light adjustments to the finished photo. Oh well.
