George Costanza had "the summer of George". So far, I've had the winter of Tobias. That's my dog. Here is a recap of my races and real-life fun during January. It may surprise you to learn... or you may not, in fact, care at all... that I ran absolutely no marathons during January. I did, however: 1. Run a ridiculously challenging 10 mile technical trail run at night (RA Franc in the Masters' group ran the full 50k) through horse poop. 2. Run a half marathon through fog where I either did or did not see domesticated wild turkeys. 3. Run a two lap "race" (more of a jog) around a lake without ever actually seeing the lake. 4. Keep my dog from eating progressively larger fabric covered items. He has successfully eaten bits of towels, t-shirts, and blankets in the past. He once ate a six foot leash. He ate part of his post-surgery cone. But it could have been worse! Ok then.

I ain't clickin' on no other links Rick. But I will thank you for the pic of the poor dog. Glad to see the progress. Spareribs

No prob. But who's Rick?

Hee hee hee. Great recap. Ah, Tobias! How is the little self-fabric-ated (get it?) garbage disposal?

Barefoot Rick generally posts a link to his RR's rather than the report itself. I was needling you. Spareribs

Well, there are really good reasons to do it this way. Much easier to keep track of one report rather than a bunch of replicated reports on multiple sites. And waaaaaay easier to find two years later.

Robert - glad Tobias is healing well. He is quite the cutie! That "Squishing Through Horse Poop in the Dark" race wouldn't appeal to me at all. Okay, maybe in the summer, but horse poop and treacherous trails in the dark are bad enough, but add cold and rain - nope, not for a minute.

You always lead a very interesting life! {{happy vibes>> Tobias

Nah, I just run very interesting races. The rest of my life (except for the health issues) is quite boring, I assure you.
