This entire week has been trying- just ‘off’, but today… anyways, chowder and I got in 4.5 this morning. He was tired so the last mile was slow. And I was overdressed.
qotd- anything new and exciting in your life lately? I’m looking forward to my trip to AZ next week and exploring the Tucson area. Lots of running and hiking plans. Other than that, things are kinda quiet (and no complaints!)
Had a meeting this morning that was productive. Sent out some emails. Put gas in the truck. Loaded the truck. Resting.
QOTD: I am looking forward to stepping off on an adventure at noon tomorrow. We have a hunting trip in Alabama the last week of March, and we have another road trip hunt the last week of April to Oklahoma.

LB2 - good luck and have fun this weekend.
Did 5 early this morning, a yucky 73 deg.
A fast moving cool front headed east is supposed to blow thru tonight while we are driving to the west, it'll be thunderstorms, very windy with lots of rain. Since we are going opposite directions I'm guessing it'll be over quickly. Fingers crossed.
qotd: Headed towards Big Bend this afternoon, really looking forward to it.
tbd.
Going to sleep early. Truck is packed and ready to go. I even rigged up a foot stool to help me step up to get in the truck when I finish and step out of the truck when I get home.
Thanks everyone.

Good luck LB!
Sandy have fun at Big Bend!
4 miles (700') w/ DW and Tiny Elvis- I've worn spikes out everyday since November (save days I've snowshoed); every trail has long sections of straight ice- 2-6" thick- it takes a lot to melt thick ice!
qotd: we're putting together a 4-5 day backpacking trip the first week in April in the Mazatzal Wilderness (Arizona), should be a nice mix of desert lower and forest higher

11 miles total today at an average pace I haven't hit in over 7 months for that distance.

I got nuthin' today. I was too tired to drag myself out of bed and have been dragging all day. Hopefully, a good dinner with friends this evening and a good night's sleep will revive me.
QOTD: The closest thing is my 50k mid April. And then *fingers crossed*, I'm hoping I can go visit my buddy in Portland in May. Otherwise, I got nuthin'.
