“squilchy” run

Well, it’s been a while since I made up a word but today necessitates doing so.

You know the sound that happens when you run on sorta half-packed snow? I was studying that sound during today’s 40 minute run (which incidentally was way better than my last run!). It sounded kind of like the word “squelch” but far-be-it from me to call something so enjoyable a squelcher - it just don’t seem right.

So, I was squilching along today. It was quite enjoyable, really. Me and my squilchifying feet.

It was the only sound out there other than the sound of my breathing. You see, today I was the only runner out there during the lunch hour. I guess there might have been someone else out there but we certainly did not cross paths.

So, have you ever squilched? Have you squilched lately? Do you enjoy squilching or being a squilcher?

If I can stop forkling, I might get up the juice to squilch.

My other friend, Jon, and I once replaced the #5 with the # glimpeck. We’d even say it in math classes at school. (We were dorks).

Squilching is a very personal subject and I do not like to discuss it on the internet. Thankyou.

Are you going to add a “Blogfather Glossary” link to your page? :)

I squilched last winter; this winter we’ve had too much ice. If I had gone outside, the sound would’ve been more like a scream as I fell down. What I do really enjoy is when it’s snowing lightly and I’m the only one out on the trail.
