Saturday, with a forecast of snow on Sunday, Brian of Tulsa’s Runners World, and one of the leaders of Tulsa’s active running community, put out a call on Facebook for a Snow Run on Sunday on Turkey Mountain followed by a lunch somewhere. There was a huge response. So a bunch of people of all ages and abilities showed up. I had never run in the snow before on Turkey Mountain so I hey I put aside my concerns about bad streets and all that showed up myself. We had Trail Zombie, the mayor of Turkey Mountain as our guide. He did a great job. Check the link for his post on the run.
It was just a dusting of snow but it was beautiful.
The trails were beautiful. I actually ran in my hiking boots cuz I like my feet to stay warm and I didn’t know how wet it would be. The running in the boots went fine. They are well broken in.
It was beautiful. Oh, I already said that? Well it bears repeating.
Everybody kind of shuffled along the Snake trail for 3.5 miles. Nobody was in a big hurry. We waited at the trail forks for the stragglers to come in and off we went again.
Afterward some of went to Cracker Barrel to eat and enjoyed some great company and conversation.
Afterward I went home. LJ the cat was not interested in my Snow Run. A belly rub was more what he was looking for.
This was our route. 3.5 miles the scenic way.

Great pictures. I like doctored pics–especially yours. Glad you ran and ate with us.
It is always fun to run with Ken.
I think I’d be more like LJ….staying by the warm fire awaiting your return from the run.
In this life, the ‘little things’ count a lot. Case in point: what just .23 inches of snow can do to a scene. Fine trail views. What do you use for a camera when you run?
The words “snow” and “running” should not be together in the same sentence, although I will admit it is beautiful.
That’s really cool (or cold), a snow run! Something we in Israel will never know.
Fun time in the snow photography ~ and of course your cat by the fire ‘steals the show’ ~ Best place to be after a run on Turkey Mountain I think!
Happy Week to you,

Oh my gosh — it is beautiful up there, but is winter really supposed to come before Thanksgiving? Brrrrrrrr. It’s cold here in Oregon too, but no snow.
That’s a smart cat, stretched out by the fire. I love the photo with the lake and the orange color around it. Beautiful!
I like seeing Turkey Mountain in the snow. And – I like your sense of adventure.
that would be pretty to run in the snow.
now if I rubbed my cat’s belly, I’d get a bite for my reward.
Thanks for going/running/walking whatever and taking photos because the light snow on the fallen leaves is gorgeous. I’d stay home and rub LJ’s belly instead.
Oh, how lovely to have snow. Nice shots!
Wow! What a fabulous run in such pretty scenery–the falling snow was like whipped cream on top!
