Ice out Status

I walked along the Excelsior Commons shoreline Sunday to check the status of the ice. I was softening but stretched un broken. I did see a few ATV rider scampring near the edge and having a good time.

In town the pedestrian traffic was steady and lively. The sun sent people to the streets as Winter loses its grip. Earlier, when I ran down the trail and crossed Water Street a man shouted out  unsolicited “ I sure have seen a lot of runner today!”. I was pleased to qualify as a runner... in his mind any way. I think the number of runners reflets the upcoming Luck Of the Lake 5K,  and people preparing to give it a shot.
