Holly, thank you for the Rudy picture. Nice 7 miler.

Tramps dodges the petri pool and logs 22 cycling miles.

BioGuy has a nice 5K. That's pretty quick.

RunnerKSA 4.2

MikeE pops in and out then in to boast about sunshine and six.

Coastwalker freezes 5.2.

Rochrunner gets a cool 5 in with some friends.

Tom White shares the gift of music. I may fire that up in my office later.

Mrrun works up and appetite with a 5K followed by a Hanukkah party with angels.

Falconfixer flies for 12 miles. I started using that cut in the smoker and the results have improved dramatically.

Joe618 is walking on sunshine for 4.3.

Wildchild puts the screws to some friends and gets 5.7. I don't know how she refrained from chasing the elk. My running partner would have been chomping at the bit.

Tetsujin209 has a pleasant 12K. Run with your heart.

Henrun prepares for stitch removal (and dish washing duty)and knocks out a mile and a half. he parties with the family.

Spacityrunner gets high with a little help from her friends.

5K Saturday followed by three hours at a craft $how. DW and I went into the field out back and cut our Christmas tree and then spent the rest of the day decorating it.

 

Steve - I hope you are not too pooped out from recapping some 220 posts last week.

Many a day I’ve done something I wouldn’t have done because of you.

Much Appreciated.  Thanks.

You're all appreciated. After today, I'm taking a sabbatical until after my audit carp.

Happy Monday, all.  Steve--good luck to you.  And even more to whom ever is auditing you.  They are in for a treat

For all of those who were concerned about how close Erika was to the latest Alaska quake, I found this to be an interesting follow-up.

Still haven't worked out how to fit running in, but our lakeside stroll is now up to almost 2 miles.  Won't be long till we complete the loop.  Did find out what Maggie wants for Christmas--right about the time we were turning around, she found the remnants of a rabbit road kill that she DID NOT want to give up.  Ended up having to carry her probably a 1/4 mile before she would give up trying to go back for it.

Nice racing over the weekend.  Seem to remember some time frame PRs amongst the results.

ETA:  attempt to copy from Google photo instead of FB.  Which, excitingly enough, seems to work.  Maggie dressed up to visit Santa.  Can't let Holly have ALL the puppy pics.    Even though our puppy is already 28.5 lbs.  and growing.

...heading out

here's a Nice Thing from NPR-

Yay for tramps' x-c skiing,

and anyone else who can too.
That’s what I’d still be doing
all winter long instead of running
if I still lived a little south of erika-land.
However, still love putting in the x-c tracks
on the grassy knolls of local parks whenever
there’s a good snow.  It was good enough
about ten years ago to do it for all five
miles of the morning commute.

ps - NHK World I like to watch had a time lapse

of snow accumulating seemingly several feet

over a couple of hours back there.
.
Spacity - didn’t see the pics the first time.
How long did it take to walk up those rocks?
and, how-in-the-world could you get down
in only an hour. Looks very dangerous.
Be careful.

Steve - good luck on the audits
May Batman be with you.
Hurry back and, in the meantime,
keep us up-to-date with your postings.

Yes I climbed that!

 No path up you made your own!

What a fun day..

Steve - good luck with the audit.

Runr-nut - 22 bags?  Wow!

Spacity - beautiful!

Kevin - sadly, I cannot see the picture....

No run for me today, swimming instead.  It took me a while to get out the door because DD was parked in the driveway blocking my route out of the garage (DH apparently told her to park there last night, even though I had told him I was going to the Y in the morning).  I woke her up but neither of us could find her keys (DH took them last night and doesn't remember where he put them).  Good thing we have a spare set.  Locked in the gun cabinet.  Now, where is the key to the gun cabinet?  Anyway, finally made it out the door.  50 times across the pool (1250 yards).

Spacity- that does NOT look hikeable to me!  Good job!

FWIW, I see it.

this line of posts seems REALLY familiar

I don't again.   neither mine nor Tom's version
