My sock hole is generated 100% of the time by the big toe of my left foot. When I put them on, I do left foot first - if a hole is there, I move it to the right foot, where the hole becomes less of a big deal. It takes a while to get it thrown out; the hole has to be big enough that I notice in the laundry, and I'm not always the one doing the laundry.

I do this, too. Move the socks. And now my heels have started becoming the culprit. It's like they know, lol. 

 

It's cool.  It's nothing short of mind boggling how often we ask each other what our next race is. You'd think we would know that for as often as it's discussed but no, so we ask again and again and again and again. 

 

I have a gym at work, so I run on the treadmill there. I'm outdoorsy though so will tolerate the intolerable sometimes to get outside.  Today's run was a crapshoot, and I crapped out. lol

Right?! I'd like to be able to blame it on something noteworthy, but um....I've got nothin'.  

I'm also with you, there. Running outside is eons better. With that said, our temps are plummeting, and the feels like temp is -18*F (20mph winds with a temp of 3*F). It's supposed to continue to drop. So, on the TM I'll be. Did I tell you guys I'm watching The Americans? It's pretty damned good. Albeit dark.

 

Who are you kidding? You have everyone's races memorized.

He was probably just saying that to be nice to me to not make me feel bad.

 

This is me 100% except the doing the laundry part. I always do the laundry. It’s the one chore I don’t mind doing.

You're welcomed to come over and do mine anytime. It's not starting the laundry that I hate, it's the folding & putting away.

I do 50% of the household laundry and about 90% of the folding. I wash my clothes and my son's (long story) but since I run... often... I need to do laundry every other day, so I end up having to fold my daughter's clothes that she just left there either in the dryer or the "hang dry" spot, and sometimes the woman's clothes too when I need space in that room.

Our house is warmed by a 1940's hot water system. The water used to be heated by an oil furnace, but we switched to an electric furnace which is waaaaay smaller. The oil furnace was like as big as half a small car, and the electric funace is like 10 running shoes boxes. But we didn't remake the basement yet, so there's a small room that is pretty much empty, and containing the house's source of heat. So we put all kinds of clothes hanging devices in there, and I spend lots of my spare time hanging clothes to save on electricity and make the clothes last longer.

Cool story bro!

Good afternoon!

I ran 5.3 very slow, cold, windy, wet, icy, and oh-so-foggy miles this moning.  Puddles and slick spots in the same place is just wrong.  I persevered, but haven't quit bitching yet.  We are looking at low teens in the morning, with a windchill around zero.  That sounds like a trainer ride in a warm garage.  I'm ready for Spring.

Have a great rest of the day!

+1.

I ran 6 with 3 miles of 2 min on/2 off

So I was able to leave shop early, took both K9's out for a quick but easy 3.6 miles. I'm reminded why I don't take them together anymore, except on trails 

Oh and I signed up for the Monumental.
