NHLA, I just read Mt. Mitchell had a record of 66" of snow. Previous was 50". Looks nice.
SRD today. Did a lot of cross training yesterday shoveling and snow blowing after my TM run. At the office but a lot of cancellations. When I walked in the door I was hit by a smell from the additive that they put in the propane. Now waiting for company to come find the propane leak, Smells like we have 50 dead mice in the building. Fun times.
QOTD: Chai Tea. I'm not a coffee drinker (I know that's rare, an ultrarunning tea drinker.)
“Paralysis-to-50k” training plan is underway!
Five after work and some strength training.
QOTD: I just like it strong and black.

Are we there, yet?
May try to get out today though my cough is still lingering. Besides I want to check to see if our parking lot is plowed yet so I can get out if I want.
QOTD: Anathema to some but I like a Columbian coffee with sugar and hazelnut flavored creamer.

I didnt do anything run-wise yesertday. Today i signed up for a gym membership. Happy its across the st from work and is really cheap. Also, now will get off work at 3 pm. Ill def recover a lot better now with the gym. Ill hit the ERG, use it as place to stretch and strength. Im looking fwd to it. Probably run after work then the gym this eve.
Qotd: i like all coffee, anyway it comes
Did my first scheduled run/walk yesterday (7 run, 3 walk/hike). Ended up with almost 11 miles and was fairly surprised at the overall pace. Got in a few hills as well and ended up straying through this private sculpture garden ... oops. Still really muddy out
QOTD: Espresso blend for Cafe Venetia here. Super smooth and user-friendly for my machine Missed it today though since I had to rush to work
Two more and qotd: 2 shot latte, no flavor- one early morning, one about 10
Got out for just over 3 snowy miles. Footing was a bit tough and for the distance, was a workout. Beautiful day here.
And this is one of the better streets. The hill back to our neighborhood.
qotd: Most any dark roast-- with a bit of half & half. No sugar
^ looks like a day off for some folks

I have a lunchtime 5 planned. The sun is finally shining here after what seemed like 2 weeks of rain and clouds.
QOTD: Umm I don't know...I make coffee everyday and sometimes it comes out so good and other times not as special. I really don't know names. For a while I was seriously enjoying a creamer called heat. It had cayenne in it. My store stopped carrying it.

SRD. Not resting from running but from shoveling snow. Whole upper body is sore especially my forearms.
NHLA - 50 degrees? That's what I like about that area of the south. You might get some nice snow at times but it warms up faster then up here.
QOTD: Coffee. Yuk!!!!! Actually make that a double Yuk !!!! For some reason the taste will stick with me for hours and I find it all very bitter.
Pete
I am healing well and hope to be running again soon. I see the doctor Thursday and figure maybe I'll have restrictions removed, not that I have not already been doing more than she advised.
QOTD: I love my coffee. I'll take plain old Folgers, Maxwell House, or Eight O'clock. I like some sugar and half and half in it.
