SteveP how do you manage to get in so many miles on snow covered trails per week? That is not easy.

 

One step at a time.Simple doesn't mean easy.

2 RW miles in 60 sunny degrees. I could get used to this. Another leisurely day in the sun before we meet hometown friends for dinner. Tomorrow we meet a local couple (both runners) for lunch. We met them on a runners cruise about 15 years ago.

Morning everyone.   Great wrap up, Steve.  "Simple doesn't mean it's easy."   Yes.

You are living out the "blue light special", Karen?    Hope that works well for you and extinguishes any bad cells there.

First Tuesday in three weeks with reasonable weather this morning to get in my Hansonian Interval workout.   5 x 1,000m this morning.   Target pace for these was 8:05/mile...I ran consistently but at 8:15/mile.   Tough workout.      How Mike gets to the 6:20s on his workouts like this is totally impressive.

I do appreciate the fact that in the next neighborhood over from ours is a series of streets on which I can loop various distances for the intervals.   Then the warm up and cool down is on the jog from my house to this network.   I'm just positive the developer was a track star in college and laid out the streets to accommodate such activities, right??

Rock it today, folks.

Howdy folks.

Bioguy -   Sleep sure has been better for me (and DH) since he got his C-Pap.

Erika - do your parents have to fly to Seattle for doctor appts very often?  Kind of makes Leslie's 6-hour drive seem easier.  I really feel for you folks that have to go so far for medical care.

KSA - I have had that treatment before, but was not told I could not go to work for 48 hours, only that I had to use copious amounts of sunscreen and to stay out of the sun as much as possible.

42 degrees this morning, so I got outside for 4.7 miles before work.  Two days of rain, then the cold comes back.

 

 

And in an annual sign that spring is on the way, the equipment truck left Fenway for Florida yesterday, and I believe only 8 days until P&Cs. not much off time between seasons, for sure.

Oh, is that great news!!   I have the first real spring training game marked on my calendar, the A's and Mariners two weeks from Thursday.  Makes me smile just to think about it!!   Red Sox haven't had much time off, indeed.   Others of us have, sadly.

Thanks again, Steve.

Henry (and Marj) --yeah, that was quite a New England sports weekend... and a good day for a parade today (and now the Sox truck is on its way, too!).  Glad you enjoyed it.

Hope the meds provide some relief, Tom.

Tramps - was that the hurricane one with, or was it, Will-Run-for-Beer. Mainly because I seem to recall there was so much water on the road, that one were worse than any of the steady deluges I've run out here in the PNW.

Yup; same weekend ten years ago. WRFB and PDR were in Rhode Island and got worse weather, I think. I was in MA (Baystate) and got lots of cold rain in the second half of the marathon, which turned to snow in places as I drove home. Not so fun. (And Holly, I think that's about 9 hours for me, though on that day I suspect it was longer.) I think Deez ran the half that day (or volunteered?), too.

Sounds like nice weather in the East, not so much in the West. Kind of crazy 70F here and will still go up a couple of degrees this afternoon. Windows are open, which is awesome in February.  Couldn't pass up the chance for another ride; 22 miles.

Well, spring is still a ways off here, so you guys all enjoy yourselves, ok? But hey, we're over 7 hours of daylight now! (I think 7:18 today) And yes, we track the minutes gained (or lost) daily on the weather reports.

Thanks, Steve, always appreciate the witty recap. Sometimes I go back to the day before to re-read someone's entry more carefully!

Holly, my parents have pretty specialized orthopedic needs. There are lots of orthopedists here, and they've both had surgery here (joint replacements). But for anything else they go to the University of Washington Medical Center as they've found some physicians they like who are nationally recognized experts in their fields. My dad is almost 92 and my mom is 88. At their age, they don't want to take any chances. And they have the money, insurance and time to do this so, why not. My sister is retired so she usually goes with them (as she is with dad now), and I'm the backup (I went last year in March).

Joe, good job on getting the intervals done. I'll be doing mine on the treadmill tonight, I think. I've never been able to do it out on the roads like some do. And yes, Mike's speed on those (and everything else) is pretty crazy.

KSA, hope all goes well. I need to make an appointment with a dermatologist soon but keep putting it off. There are a couple of spots I want looked at.

Another mild day here and so far no more snow, but I know it's coming. Today I've got commitments during the day so can't get out to run. Too bad, as it looks better out there (plowing-wise) than yesterday (and that wouldn't take much, really). So I'll hop on the treadmill for about an hour tonight when I get home. We had our second to last dance class last night and you can sure tell we missed practice last week!

I'm at work.  I have to stay completely out of the sun- even "cloudy sun".  I look fine with makeup on.  Not so great when I left the dr. office.  It hurt pretty much for the 16 minutes of the blue light- felt like my face was being lit on fire, but it's bearable.  I have my office shades lowered.  I have to go back in 3 weeks (maybe it's 4 weeks).

I went to a Red Sox spring training game last year in Ft. Meyers and it was fun, but we got tickets from a seller in the parking lot and we were, literally, as far from home plate as you could get-  top row in the far outfield.  It was still fun.  David Price is my favorite professional athlete, although he wasn't there that night.
