    I'm finally recovered a bit after working night shift, by sleeping 11 hours last night. I'll get out and run a little here this afternoon. Temps are much warmer than most of you(except Docket), so I wont torment you with the numbers.

     

    I got in 5 miles.

       wow, we barely have any snow here and it doesn't look like we're going to get some anytime soon

       

      Yeah we got a ton of it on Christmas Eve, then about an inch every other day or so in-between the holidays.

       

      I am not really complaining about the weather though, November was absolutely fabulous and 2017 as a whole was a cakewalk relatively speaking. We can handle these temps just fine.

                A sensory deprivation tank. It's the secret to his training prowess.

                      It's an oil tank.  Apparently our old one was 30 years past it's recommended shelf life.

                          Ended up choosing the treadmill.  8 miles with 5 miles progression from MP effort (not pace) cutting down 5-8 seconds per mile.

                           

                          I started at 7:30, working down to 6:44  (7:07 avg)

                            Ok it has oil in it, lol. I seen one in my Aunt Sandi’s basement when I visited her in Suffield back in 2006. I never asked what it was for. This is definitely not something I’m familiar with. Do I have to move to New England to learn about them?

                              Or to Canada. I don't know the percentage of houses with an oil tank, but it's gotta be pretty high. Most houses with a chimney are oil heated.

                               

                              We got rid of ours about 10 years ago. Switched to electricity.

                                That's what we had in the Chicago suburbs until we converted to gas in the late '50s.
