Former Bad Ass
I like that picture, blue. Those kind of off the cuff, not posing pics tend to look well.
It's my off Friday, thankfully. Heading to the vet for Rubio who has lost more weight again and then 8 at some point. We had some snow but ours was a dusting that's gone. It's 25F and sunny here.

RD! Slept in, sort of. MrW got up at 5am for work which woke me up. But I stayed in bed until 630 which is 2 hours longer than usual.
Took the day off bc why not. I plan on going to the beach with my Kindle for a few hours. Only 50 degrees now but should be near 80 later.

Bluerun’s pic reminded me of this iconic photo - she’s John Landy except without Roger Bannister passing her up.

If you need a getaway, it's sunny and 65 degrees right now in San Antonio.
Keep it in mind when Dec, Jan, and Feb roll around.
25 degrees here and we got 5 inches of snow yesterday

Nice, Onemile! I can't believe (and can believe) that you already got so many inches of snow! and
Totally epic pic
I ran 8 in 38*F, windy, totally cloud covered weather. I felt like I overdressed for the first 2 miles, then felt okay for the middle miles, and was getting cold by the final couple. I'm still cold. That's winter running for ya!
Whiskers, how close are the fires to you?
I think the pacemaker is finally settling in after 'thinking about it' for a while. Got my last 'settings' in October and now don't have to go back for a year unless something goes wrong - hopefully not, knock on wood. It took about a week after the settings for the pacemaker to say "ahhh, okay, I got it now..' and it seemed to adjust. Right after the adjustment I was feeling kind of tired and, like, this is not working, I want the old setting back. But then it kicked in and now I've been having some really good running. Still not speedy, but I am finally getting underneath 12-minute miles again. Yesterday I ran at Camp Bullis military installation and my last mile was 11:07. So gradually getting there. 3 miles done yesterday.
I like running at Camp Bullis. I usually go after work and around 5 pm there is just about nobody on the base. Nice empty streets to run on, the track area all to myself, very little traffic - I encountered 2 vehicles on my run/walk last night - and there is even a nice little gym - pretty small, but works for what I need - to take a shower after so I don't have to drive home all wet and sweaty.
Borrowing from the float interval idea? Basically about 20 minutes of good hard running - nice work.
Scotty...congrats on getting that mile pace down again...that's exciting stuff!
