    Wife was super pissed this morning that I went out in the snow.  (In fairness, it was not accumulating on the roads or sidewalks, just in the grass...)
    It was a nice run - will see if she stays bent all day.  :lol:

    😂 My wife is just pleased to get rid of me for a few hours

    Damn.  Doing the 5300 ft mountain hike last year was brutal....with so much of it a rock scramble, but still enough for me to imagine a race in similar type elevations.
    It's just shy of 11,000 ft over the 2 days.

    So storm Eunice is passing through.. don't fancy running in 70mp wind 😂 just finished 11 miles on the treadmill for the 1st of this weekends long run, which is by far the longest time I've spent in a treadmill, definitely some weird motion shit going on when I stopped.

    That is a long treadmill run. I am ready to get off the treadmill after 6 miles. I can’t imagine running five more. The boredom!! Music helps but it definitely feels like time moves slower on the treadmill. I hope you can get back outside soon.

    So I like watching boxing and there's some behind the scenes documentaries for an upcoming fight so I watched those.. wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

    The high winds should pass tonight so Sunday should be all good

    I think my longest dreadmill run was 12 miles -- and I was hungover as hell when I did it. 
    Hated most every minute of it, was at my childhood home and was cursing (loudly) as I moved tempo up for segments.  My family all had a good laugh at my expense.
    Yesterday's run was awesome, it was 50 degrees at 4am.
    Tomorrow's run will see it back to cold, predicted at 22 degrees.
    Good news with Thursday was that my last mile was in the 8s (which is good for me) and had I not had a 630 meeting at work I would have gone another.  Felt very strong/no abnormal pains.

    Watching something interesting on TV would definitely pass the time. The treadmills I use at the gym have TV screens with tons of channels. However, you have to look down on them to watch. That always leaves me with neck issues. So, I keep it off, keep my head up, and listen to music. Glad you can get outside again this weekend.

    Need to start running again...

    Promised a colleague to make 15km per week, because she does 20.
    How are you coming along? Have you started up again yet?

    3 hours of character building today 😂 just to the right you can see the foot of the slope I get my hill reps on. It gets just steep enough to not run so it ideal.. and besides that it's all I fucking have anywhere close 😂 I did 45 mins reps.. an 8 mile loop around the reservoir then another 45 mins of reps. Starting to feel stronger

    Wow! You did all that and in the rain it looks like. That is some serious training. You are going to be so ready for this adventure.

    It was actually quite fun! The wind was more of an issue than the rain... We've just had the most miserable weather for the last 3 days

    Beautiful. I am gearing myself up to go run shortly. Just taking another few lazy moments before I get going.

    Wow that is a stunning picture.
    I got a later start, but was in the 8s on a 5 mile run.  For me, I'm content with low 9s, normally, when not in race mode so this was kind of surprising. 
    Think the slide board and intervals are helping to add a little speed to these old bones.  :lol:

    Lazy moments are just as important 😁 I'm very lazy when I'm not active... It's always one of two extremes

    All in one piece....and I'm not having to ice my knees every night, so that is good.
    Don't think I'll be going too much further, anytime soon.  Thinking about a 5k for St Patty's, just to run in a crowd and push for a better time.
