No, not yet. And the way I sleep, I doubt anything penetrated my brain.

I don't watch the Weather Channel. It's almost always wrong up here. I use the NOAA automated phone line or listen to it on the weather radio in my car. They've only failed me once in five years.

I kind of liked that one...

Shut up, Snee.

Cary, I'm planning on continuing to run with the trail runners all year. They do a summer "dirt" series at the same park that are 6, 9, and 12 miles long and start in July. They keep telling me that if I could do the snow races, I can do the dirt races easy. So, yeah, I'll be training all year long!

Fine. Be like that :P

GoAztecs isn't the only Lego games addict on here, lol.

The first and third races were pretty easy - the trails were fairly well-packed and the snowshoes have cleats on them for more traction. That middle race was brutal. Ever run on very loose sand? It was like that. And those racing snowshoes don't work all that well when the snow isn't packed. No float, unlike my big wooden snowshoes. The temperature was also a factor in the middle race - it started at 16 F and was falling rapidly the whole time. I think it was single digits when I walked in my front door, and I live six miles away from where the race was held.

And I have no idea if Jerry visits Istanbul often. But yeah, it is a great photo.

LOL. We had a five-year-old in charge of cowbell at Sunday's race. She also was incharge of putting the sparkly stickers on the race bibs for those of us getting our Badass designation. Her dad's the race director.

Thanks for the vote for Jerry. You can vote once a day, don't forget!

I'm heading back to work at the park in 26 days and I anticipate not having a lot of time to myself for the first couple of months, so I I understand. Good to see you, though!
