    That sounds like quite the adventure, Jerry. There may be another group for you here.

     Is there a story behind your new Avatar, Carl?   Big grin

      Not really; it's a romanticized wintry landscape/portrait from an old desktop theme. I'm not sure who the artist is. To me, the mood is sorta like that of Cat Stevens's song "Into White."

       

      Hey, is that your Santa-cat?

      Speed my steps along your path, according to your will.

        Somewhere around 150 miles.  That will finish well ahead of the bunny and put me in good shape to start a buildup for my spring marathon training.

          Nope, my kitty won't sit  still for a picture if I dress him up.  Big grin

                Thanks!

                 

                Haha! I was JUST doing the math on that.  Trying to figure out when to do my longish runs and what they'll be.   Smile

                    Certainly not what I figured would happen when I ran my first marathon back in 2007.

                      I am still annoyed....if it hadn't been for the car accident at the end of March, I would have already passed 1500 miles!  That accident cost me time & miles! 

                      Michelle



                        God grant me the serenity 
                        to accept the things I cannot change; 
                        courage to change the things I can;
                        and wisdom to know the difference.


                        Living one day at a time; 
                        Enjoying one moment at a time; 
                        Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; 
                        Taking, as He did, this sinful world
                        as it is, not as I would have it; 
                        Trusting that He will make all things right
                        if I surrender to His Will;
                        That I may be reasonably happy in this life 
                        and supremely happy with Him
                        Forever in the next.
                        Amen.

                          I got within 40 miles, today.  Based on my schedule, I should hit the 1500 mark no later than Christmas.  All of the snow up here has made for some tough running, since nothing is really plowed all that well, even a week later.  Lots of running in 3-4 inches of show or in slushy, slippery stuff on the roads.  At least I'm getting good workouts, though.

                           

                          I thought I might hit the 1500 mark earlier than this, but a couple of illnesses and a vacation with no running options threw the schedule off.

                            It wasn't that bad of an accident!!!!  Big grin   But, thank you....This prayer is always a good reminder to appreciate what we have, no matter what.

                              Slushy running is hard work.  That's awesome that you're going to reach your goal despite the difficult conditions!

                                I've slacked the past three days as part of a much needed recovery week, but will be getting back to miles tomorrow morning.   Still keeping 1500 in sight.   Smile
