Wow did that run feel good

I hit the road for the first time since my dismal run with friends. I went 6.5 miles in 16 degree weather. It was a GREAT run! Felt good the whole time. I wish I could have felt like that when I was running before. Focused on just a good steady pace, listened to my body, didn't try anything new...When I was back home I felt like I could have kept going. Great run!

Beware of offering advise

Doing laps at the pool.
Older guy next lane doing laps. Up breast stroke, down free style
His left arm had great form; high elbow, hand entrance into water by ear...
His right arm barely made it out of the water.
I tried to explain what I saw and he blew up at me telling me to mind my own business.
He was just an angry old man.
Why are some people like that? They most live miserable lives.

Mountain Biking on Snow....Wow

No studs on tires.
streets only partially scraped
slushy where not
front tire going everywhere
going downhill is scary
but silent...peaceful.
let go of wanting to go fast
Enjoy the moment
Awesome

No Power sucks

I wish I were talking about physical power, but I'm not. We lost our electricity Sunday Morning Dec. 28th at 6:00 A.M. It didn't come back on until Wednesday afternoon. Constantly running the generator, stoking the fire, had to buy a kerosene heater (1-K kerosene is flippin expensive!!). Got tired of being cold! Lost some of my fish! Grrrr! I should have wired up the generator to the furnace. Perhaps next time. I guess the only silver lining I can find is that I now own a nice heater for the garage. Meh.
