Tet - isn't this when you might think about tapering down your work hours to transition into retirement. you are going the wrong way I think.

Hey Erika - I see we are on the same team!  I'll try and kick it up a notch in my running 

At the Seahawks half time I went for a run with Bella, then came home, saw we weren't doing so hot in the 3rd qtr, so went out for a run with Bailey. Came home and saw we were doing even worse.  too bad for the Hawks but I did get in 5.6 miles today and it was sunny out, so I'm happy about that.

Still about 7 inches of snow at our place and along our driveway, but once I get out to the cul de sac then the roads are dry. Seems so silly that I still can't get my car out yet just 1/4 mile away, the roads are fine. Hopefully the next 2 days of low 40's and sun will melt some more snow.

Woohoo, Tammy is on my team! I don't know anyone on it (until now), but they seem to be a very friendly team with a good mix of casual and very competitive runners. Just remember, you just have to make your weekly goal, not kill yourself with crazy miles...

I got in 8.5 snowy miles today and while I don't like running in deep loose snow, it was so good to get outside! There was some wind so the icy flakes were poking me in the eyes sometimes, but the temps were good at +5 and as long as I stayed in the tire tracks the footing was pretty good.

 

Has your running ever helped out in your work life?

Great to see you Tet. I still get variations of "no one person can do what I do". Possibly because of endurance. Possibly for being too dumb to say, "Hey! That's dumb!". My favorite is when I was Assistant Manager at the largest hotel in the county. Two guys on roids were arm wrestling on an oak table and the table broke. When I mentioned how much they just spent replacing the table, the larger of the two got right in my face and kept repeating, "What Table?". We had a face off until security got a hold of him. The other guy went out the front door and I followed. He asked if I thought I could stop him. I told him I was going to see what car he got into and write down the plate number. He took of running across a field. I followed. He shouted, "How long are you gonna follow me?".

"I'm a distance runner buddy. I can do this for two hours.".

Then he started chasing me. I changed direction back the hotel and said, "I can run this way for two hours too.".

He turned himself in.

Tom White, my advise people who are about to retire is: When you get up and get ready for work, don't do that. Everyday can be Saturday.

Bertha, I'm sorry about your near death experience  man cold. For most women, being in labor is as close as they will ever come to having a man cold.

Yay Flats!!!

Very nice, Tramps.

Yeyouch, Marj. Ouch.  Loves us the grandkids.

How do you plan for things when you just never know what the weather is going to be? 

It affects me more at work. I work inside and outside. I keep layers and batman costumes in my office. And a change of dry clothes just cause.

Grammy, DD#2, GS#2 and GD#2 accompanied the dogs and me on a two miler. I wanted to go further with out missing out on family times.

Honey (bee) loves the snow.

Us guys (and Honey) ran a mile down hill in search of dinosaurs.

Jude (JuJu) saw a little on in the snow.

He ran out of steam.

Josie snored through most of it.

Tag found a stick he liked. I told him to leave it. He has his mom's cuteness and my good judgement.
