Just got an email that after 3.5 years, we finally have a mailbox at our Colorado home. That's right, the place that hates short term rentals and is trying to permit/increase fees on them out of existence, built our place with not enough mailboxes. Because they didn't expect them to be occupied full time. When we lived there between houses here, I was told I could wait for one to become available and until then I had to rent a PO box at the post office downtown. I guess they finally put up some additional mailboxes and the post office has a key for us. Problem is I don't think our property manager can pick it up for us and we weren't planning on going up there until July. They better still have one for us! You can only forward mail for a month, so when we stay up there for three months, our mail has nowhere to go.

Anyway, sorry about the Super Bowl loss, HCK.

And now I will head out to run. Hopefully I will feel better than yesterday. I thought about a rest day but tomorrow is supposed to be super windy and possibly rainy, so I'm gonna save the rest day for that.

Karen, good luck with the mailbox.  The post office is a model of efficiency.  When I got this house it took a good month just to get a key.  Hope your run was better today.

Damaris, enjoy the RD.

4 meh miles today, need to up my game some.  I got a tiny bit of running in, need more time on my feet, not necessarily running I think.  Talking things over tomorrow.  Decided I will do a 25K the first weekend in March, Crazy Desert in San Angelo TX.  3 hour drive, stay over the night before and head home after.  After that I am hoping to go do a 12 hour race with Lisa in May for her bday.  Finances will dictate.

Super Bowl get together was quiet, only a handful of us.  I personally found the game, halftime, and commercials very lackluster.

Nothing on tap today except some chores and hopefully nails.  They're way overgrown.

Enjoy Monday, if possible, everyone.

Took a couple hours off of work this morning for a doctor's appointment in SF.  I forgot how much I hate city traffic.  And prices... $8 for one hour of parking but it's better than parking on the street and risking having a window smashed, which is common.

Nothing exciting to report about our mailbox.  It's the old fashioned kind, across the street in a row with a few others.  Most people around here use a PO Box at the post office but I think it would be a pain to go there to get mail all the time.

Karen, weird that Pagosa Springs would be difficult about short-term rentals.  Isn't that what most of the places are there?

Damaris, hope the massage therapist is good.

Kat, time on feet definitely doesn't have to be time spent running.

Lori, annoying that company management is so disorganized.

Hi to everyone else.  Running rest day for me.
