Crystal clear and crisp 30*F this morning. I ran a 2.5 mile loop this morning in the dark. I'll probably cover another 4 or 5 today tromping around in the woods on a squirrel hunt. The run was easy and fast. B2B long runs early tomorrow morning and on Monday. I think things worked out good for recovery from last week's B2B long runs. I think this is my last set of B2B's and two more long solo's.

QOTD: Weekend plans?

Squirrel hunting this morning with my dad and one of my brothers. After that, I guess I'll just relax until about 3AM on Sunday.

About 30 min of core, balance work, and hip mobility work yesterday out in my little shed.  Today is turning out to be nasty, so I'm pushing my 10 miles to tomorrow when it's supposed to be "light rain" or "showers".  That sounds better than 100% chance of rain with strong winds.  No thank you.

We've had so much rain, we can't divert enough so it's pooling under the house.  The Hub went to plug in the sump pump and *fzzt* - it was done.  So long, Sump Pump.  You more than paid for yourself.  Anyway, so it was a pump purchase and he's been pumping since yesterday.  We have to run an extension cord from inside the shed to where the pump is - and I didn't get the door shut all the way last night.   Thankfully, it's indoor/outdoor carpet over cement, but even with fans, it's gonna take awhile for it to dry out. 

QOTD: I have a little bit of typing to do today, then I need to work on tax stuff.  Tomorrow will run, then more tax stuff.  And I need to buy a cover for the trailer.  Two small leaks have appeared with all this rain.  *sigh* 

Easy 7.5 miles today.  Timed it well to avoid getting dumped on by rain.  Was pouring buckets earlier, and more is on the way.  It's a mess out there... downed trees, mud slides, ocean surge, erosion, water running down the roads and hillsides.  Oh, and a sinkhole opened up under one of the major roads into this area so that's closed indefinitely, and the other road has been closed on and off because of trees down, mud slides, flooding, and/or car accidents.  Very glad that my job is full time telework because commuting is going to be ugly.

QOTD: Canceled my weekend plans and will hunker down, maybe head down the road to our favorite dive bar to watch the NFL playoffs.

Got up and did 12 miles this morning, a nice run after yesterday's long run.

I normally count weeks a Sun thru Sat, but I see on my Garmin today that if I count Mon - Sun this week I have now done 7 days in a row for a total of 74 miles.  Dang what the heck am I doing?  I just may have to look into doing my nemesis springtime run, the Pandora's Box of Rocks 52.4 miler in Burnet, TX on April 29th.

New women's half marathon American record down in Houston this morning; Emily Sisson - 1:06:52 (she came in 2nd).

This morning's run was a little quicker and easier than I expected, and I finished 20 miles in 3:33 feeling like I had run and easy 5 miles. I guess I could have run 27 more minutes, but it was really a 4 hours or 20 miles, whichever comes first plan. Temperature was 30 degrees when I started, so faster feels easier to me when it is cold. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

the woman I went with didn't feel well when we arrived.  She did 7 runs and waited for us in the lodge.  After she dropped me off she stopped at ER and sure enough she had had a heart attack.  

Holy crap!   Hope she's okay.

10 miles at Headwaters.  It ended up raining more than I thought it was going to and it didn't take long for me to get soaked.  And the higher I climbed, the colder I got.  I power hiked 99% of the 2 mile climb, and there was so much debris on the trail, it was a PITA.  My feet kept getting caught in little branches, etc., and I'd end up whipping the around into my bare calves and shins.  I had fun running the 2 miles down - except for the leg-whipping.  I was very happy to get home and into a hot shower.

Friend text that she is ok and should be out of hospital Tuesday...still do not know all details.  

Unreal. Glad your friend is ok.
