The pup and I went out for a short mountain run this morning. We have more fresh snow and it's COLD up there. We have a cold front coming in and are going to drop into single digits this week.

I'm working until early afternoon then flying to Arizona. Te weather won't be much warmer down there.

QOTD: Any big plans for New Years Eve?

I'll be running but will stop at midnight to toast the new year.

Got my last run in the outdoors yesterday for awhile, we're -2 now and dropping (and the wind is blowing!)   Hopefully this front will clear out by the end of the week.

Will strength train this evening.

qotd: I get Thursday off, but likely we won't even make it to midnight   Hoping to run 15 on Thursday, weather dependent

Morning folks!  I got in a nice hike with DH yesterday in the snow, and then a fast 3 miles on the treadmill.  Today, it is in the single digits with wind chills in the double negative digits later tonight.  I'll get out later this morning before we leave town.

Muppy- it's good to see you back!

qotd:  quiet evening with the family, and packing to catch an early flight on new years day.

-3 in Presque Isle, Wi. right now. I'll be heading out right after my coffee is gone for a couple hours of x-c skiing followed by some snowshoe running.. Might have mentioned it before but I'm liking this 4 day work week thing. I'll be heading back to tropical Madison late this afternoon.

QOTD--No plans here. Probably sleeping long before midnight. Exciting stuff.

Was a rest day, but sun is out and I brought my clothes along for a run at lunch.  Might go into Battlefield and run there since most of the "Tourons" are gone.

QOTD:  Playing cards with some friends and then head to the Square for midnight fireworks.  I'll have a sip of champagne at midnight, otherwise I don't drink on New Years.

Ended up with just under 5 with the GSP in  7 degrees/ -7 windchill.  I had on all my running clothes and felt a little like the michelin man, but it worked.   Tomorrow will be colder, so now I know how my clothing plan.

How does the GSP handle that kind of cold?

As long as he's moving, he does fine.  And he moves fast and far.   He's a hunter and spends a lot of time in the woods, so he might be better adapted than others.

This is my first winter running with my pointer and I was initially worried about her sensitivity to cold, but so far, she seems to be fine. With the exception of one rainy day...that was a tough one for her. But like you said, my dog is in the mountains almost every day, so I think she's well acclimated.

SRD today.

qotd: a quiet evening at home.  Once again I plan to volunteer at a local marathon that starts at 8am on new year's day, so it is best no to go too crazy the night before.
