The first two ski areas in Colorado opened today: Loveland and Arapahoe Basin. I know at least Twocat and DickyG are happy about ski season starting.
Heard from DS#2 last night. Halfway through boot camp and he sounds good. That's the first time I talked to him since he left in September. He'll graduate on November 14, and I think a celebration is in order.
Well, how do you really know when they are done?
hmmmm...I think wildchild just called me fat...
And collectors looking for a fresh fix should keep eyes peeled next year. That's when quarters will be issued for the left-out District of Columbia, commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. territories of Guam, American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
"During a marathon, I run about two-thirds of the time. That's plenty." - Margaret Davis, 85 Ed Whitlock regarding his 2:54:48 marathon at age 73, "That was a good day. It was never a struggle."

I got 700 miles out of my first pair, and less and less with each new one. I thought 450 miles was a good retirement age, but I can feel them starting to go around 300 now. And, I am not getting heavier!
Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!

I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.

The ankle thing's been on/off. I found a box of books that never moved from the old house today , and in it was my Trigger Point Massage Therapy workbook....Here's a quote from the page I found pretty quickly: "Peroneus tertius trigger points will make your ankle pain and weakness persist after everything else has been fixed." It also notes that the pain is similar to that of the peroneus longus, which was what I thought it was. And, that ankle weakness is usually present though when it is the tertius. I did "lose my ankle" a couple weeks back while running. So, maybe I've found the key to fixing myself up. Already did Round 1 with that trigger point.
