Oh so beautiful!

Wow.

Life is so fragile and uncertain that every daybreak is a miracle, almost a triumph.
Friedrich Nietzsche

15 mile run started in the freezing cold before daybreak.
2 days ago it was 82° and I was a sweaty mess.
Whiplash.
Very peaceful running by Goose Lake this morning.
I heard Sandhill Cranes.

I was at the aid station at the start/finish.
Great job! Those hills are no joke!

Wow. Orban sounds like Trump. Yay John Cooper

Because no cell reception.

Congratulations!

I’m not always trail running, but when I am, I’m probably questioning all my life choices.

Worked the Zumbro 100 50 34 17 mile trail races Fri-Sat. My friend made it 67 miles.
Overnight was below freezing.
Ran 3.5 hours today & was harassed by turkeys.
70° & humid.
Whatever, weather.

And now I know what moose poop looks like! Goes with all the other kinds I see in the woods. Weird what we know.

Thank you!

🤣🤣

Exactly.

Wow. Just wow.

Thanks! Just getting over a cold, so a challenge today!

It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.

Mental toughness building day:
Rain, snow, rain, snow.
Just above freezing.
The word, miserable, came to mind.
Toughed out 25k on pavement with hills.
Proud of myself for sticking with it.
And another Christmas tree.

Tulips, crocus, and daffodils have broken through. I should just call it rabbit food.

I get a bit gloomy when it's gloomy.

Rain all day yesterday and most of today.
Chilly damp gloomy gray.
Got my run in but no trails.
At least it's not snow - what we all say in Minnesota.

Spring: the music of open windows.
Terri Guillemets

Hill day!
Ladder workout.
Bright blue skies, cool enough temp, and no mud!
Still waiting for green.
Snow on the menu tomorrow through Saturday.
Of course.
Spring in Minnesota.

And now, another place I need to go to. California has everything.

70° yesterday in the Twin Cities.
A trip to St Anthony Main happened and it's kind of my thing to ALWAYS get a photo of the Stone Arch Bridge.

I feel that.

Resting is also a form of resilience.

Spent all week feeling like crap.
Finally ran today on paved.
Trails would have made this a real short run.
9 miles and then coughed my ass off.
Happened upon a Christmas tree. Love the cardinal.

I did the same with actors who's work I loved. I did not have to do that with Bruce Springsteen, thank god.

Entrance to the Pit of Despair.

Beautiful photo! Glad you found something to motivate you!

🤣

Spiffy! Love the color!

Adventure on trails day!
One wrong turn, one deer trail, tons of mud, no falls.
A blizzard last weekend, 70° today.
Fun to see & talk to many trailrunners today.
13.1 miles.

Wow. That was an adventure. Heal well. I too broke my finger running trail. Could have been worse?

We had discovered an accursed country. We had found the Home of the Blizzard.

Blizzard starts later today. 10-16" expected.
Helped out at a St Patrick's 5k/10k this morning. Lots of green, leprechauns & cute tights.
Thawed out in my car & did 7 miles near home.
