Our weather is in for another big shift. Cold, wind and sleet the other day, warm and cloudy for the upcoming week. Should make for more comfortable runs, though. Ran a 9k trail race yesterday. I run it every few years when the schedule allows. I had forgotten how hilly the course is. No big climbs, just endless ups and downs. The glutes were really feeling it and it reminded me that my trail miles have been very low lately.
qotd: Any good netflix (or other) binges lately? I just finished 'Shetland' a british crime series whichI like a lot, especially the 3rd year. I will start the second year of 'The Crown' shortly, but I need some new ideas.

Skipped my run yesterday to rest and relax and finally feel better today. Might run at lunch, or might eat cookies. TBD.
QOTD: Loved Shetland. We just watched 1st of season 2 of the Crown last night. Season 2 of Victoria starts on PBS in January, but i have a site where I can stream it now.
“Paralysis-to-50k” training plan is underway!
Nothing but weights today.
This summer we realized we hadn't watched anything on Netflix for 6 months, so we cancelled it. Then they came out with a new Anne of Green Gables, so we reactivated it. That sucked and we cancelled again. I might reactivate next week so I can watch Stranger Things season 2.
running under the BigSky
couple of nice hikes with DW and Tiny E over the weekend- 7.5 and 5.5; with the snow (and vert) pretty good workouts.
I had planned on the gym this evening, but we’re expecting an Arctic blast Thursday with temps below zero, sooo..,. will grab Tiny E for 3-4 miles after work
qotd: finished the last season of Longmire- no cliff hanger at the end so this might be it??!? Almost done with Paranoid- British/German detective thriller- we’re enjoying it
someone felt festive and hiked in some ornaments
2023 goal 2023 miles √

Gym at lunch..no am run.
QOTD: What is this Netflix you speak of. We check out videos at the Library and currently watching Dexter. The library just got something named Hoopla that can stream movies and TV shows. Maybe my world will open up to something more current.
AT: Is Shetland that show you talked about at Zion where they called everyone a "C..t"?
Warden: We have such a tree on one of our trails.

Rest day today.
My DD has signed up for Rocky 100. I told her I'm not signing up for this one , however, I will be working the Damnation aid station again and then pacing her for the later miles . They changed the course a little bit this year so it'll be 4 x 25 mile loops.
qotd: We're about halfway through season 2 of "The Crown". We liked "Luther", but I don't know if that's still on NF.
tbd.
No, that's "Catastrophe" on Amazon.
Man - "I really like you friend"
Woman - "Who her, she's a real C..t"
Trying to wake up enough to go for a run. For some reason I feel like I need a IV with a infusion of caffeine. But when I do finally wke up I'll be heading out for a run/walk with DW. I'll do my 6.3 mile loop and meet her to walk the last 1 1/2 miles or so.
Speaking of DW, she's being a bad influence around the neighborhood it seems. Last evening when I was heading off to work my one neighbor came zipping down the hill on his bike and I couldn't help but notice that it had a battery pack on the back. Quite a few people have noticed hers and the fact that she now rides a lot further. It's generated a lot of interest in them. Soon I'll be the slowest in the neighborhood on my naturally aspirated bike . He is about 67 years old and used to ride quite a bit when he was younger.
QOTD: Netflix???? What's that???? Oh yea, that stuff that my wife spends about $131.88 a year on. That's the price of a pair of good running shoes going to waste . It seems like whenever I'm looking for something to watch if I'm on the elliptical or trainer they never have anything that I like unless I pay more . (That includes Amazon Prime).
Bottom line is that if everyone watched as little TV as I do they would all go bankrupt.
Mike - Nice picture. Cute couple.

DD fixed
AT - thanks
Dam this is in like 8 weeks...train for a hundy ion Eights weeks!!! oh to be young!
Yeah I agree, kids!!!! But she has a pretty good base since she paced me for 50 miles at Arkansas Traveler and then 17 miles at Brazos Bend. She did that 30 mile hiking trip over Thanksgiving. We'll see, her goal is to simply finish the thing. Plus she's been doing some maintenance runs and a ton of horse riding in between (she's going back to Mongolia next summer). But I have been telling her she needs to do some more steady long run weekends. I'll drag her out to the RR trails either next weekend of the one after that (I 'need' that marathon training you know... ).

Why pay more for that???? It's all over the internet for free .
