8.72 miles with 8x800's at 8:15 ish. Off to bed for night shift.

Back from my 15-mile TM run.   The roads are still a mix of slush, ice, snow, and 33-degree puddles.  The sidewalks are still nowhere to be found.  Felt really good, actually.  I started really slowly and could have pushed the pace more at the end, but wanted to be able to run the rest of my miles this week, too.  Now I am taking a moment to enjoy some hot cocoa before jumping in the shower.

Jimmy- Hope you are able to get the miles in!  Be careful with weight loss while adding exercise. It's a delicate balance!

Ginny- Sounds like just the right amount of snow for you and for Ben!

Jack- Good luck with your day off.  That reminds me, I need to renew DD's passport and check mine to see when it expires.  Are you guys going somewhere fun?

Mitch- Awesome 800s!  8 of 'em? 

Where in Canada? I've had some great trips to Canada. The mountains in the west are spectacular, with great hiking.  The eastern Maritimes are a wonderful place to visit too.

Jack - have you done the drive north from Glacier?  Waterton is absolutely gorgeous, as is the whole drive north to Mt. Robson along the Rockies.  The Kananaskis (sp?) area is a real hidden gem.  We did a 600 mile hike along the Divide, so I know it well, but we've also done a couple of trips where we just dayhiked and toured.  Lots of beauty, lots of wildlife.  There's a book called, "Don't waste your time in the Canadian Rockies" which describes some really good hikes.

Ginny: We have done that drive but had to stop at the border because of our passports. If we end up doing that trip I will put in plenty of research on hikes and stuff.
