running under the BigSky
Morning Trailers! Had a really nice run/snowshoe yesterday, used the Fastpack 30 and was very happy with it. Carried the snowshoes when not needed, everything was handy pocket wise and comfortable w/ no bounce- had about 12 pounds in it.
Gorgeous day here, will try and get in 10-ish today

Just returned from 6.5 miles along the creek. Found the washed out bridge 'crossings', but my friend and I decided it was too risky to try them without a hand support. Speaking for myself, my balance is not that great and neither of us relished the idea of falling 3-5 feet into deep, cold water. We ended up going to the real bridge and around. The skunk cabbages and virginia bluebells have started to emerge since I was there a few days ago- favorite signs of spring for me.
Nice pics, MT. Looks like a fun day!
qotd: I've got nothing.
forgot a qotd - whoops
qotd: favorite breakfast? I made my wife French toast this morning- I use two eggs, half and half in lieu of milk, a good multi-grain bread, but the real secret is cooking it on low heat in butter slowly (takes 15-20 minutes) almost carmalizing it- add good syrup, bacon and a glass of milk- good stuff!
Getting ready to head up on the mountain for 11 miles. It's cold here again . 35 degrees. Looks like I'll have to bundle up again.
Warden - Three things.
First - Nice pictures but please keep the cold out there.
Second - Please reduce your mileage. Give the rest of us a chance to catch up .
And Lastly - With French Toast like that I'll be stopping at your house for breakfast in the morning .
Runtrail - I thought you were a swimmer? 3-5 feet should be just right for a refreshing dip .
QOTD: Scrapple and eggs with toast. Make the eggs over medium. After dipping the yolk place the rest on the toast, add scrapple and coat with applebutter. Yummy. Oh yea, very fattening.
10 miles Lake Summit. Great route to train on. Sandy - dirt road that feels like a trail but no roots and rocks.
qotd Southweastern scone open face with fried eggs and bacon.
mt, it's spring, those snowy photos look too cold. The trees are budding and flowering here.
I ended up doing 7 up on the single track last night. Met an American guy along the way which is a bit unusual so we stopped to talk for a little bit, nice guy. He doesn't run but sometimes hikes up the mountain. He also commented the "Texas Trail" shirt I was wearing - he's from Dallas.
qotd: after an early morning run, pretty much any breakfast is my favorite !!!!
