Let it snow...

This weekend has been a lot of fun. A 2 inch snow made for great snowball fights, snow-fort building, and snowmen. David and Max played with Bev and I most of Friday evening and Saturday morning out in the fresh snow. Now we have a forecast for 2 more inches by morning. What an unusual winter. We went for so long with  very mild winter. In fact, I think that is what favored my bike riding for a long time. The combination of drought with mild winter made for lots of riding time. More than there perhaps normally would be. But lately the weather has curtailed my riding. I see from my posts from years past that this is the time for colder weather and most February's have been cold and riding hasn't been as abundant as other months. But the norm is for this cold spell to end by next week, and riding weather to resume. But for now, one more day of snow fun would be lovely for the boys.

Island Walk

I always try to help Rachael with Hubbard/Rockford if asked. They had me down for 3 days but at last minute asked for the other day. Work at Rockford is slow so working isn't hard, but not following my usual routine tired me out a bit.  I still had some work I could take care of up in Cullman. Some bushhog work and other little items but the high temps held me back a bit. I did ride my bike a little and got in some of my walking in addition to some chores. Max needed to be delivered to Charlotte, SC for his drum major camp. I volunteered to take him. I was glad to be able to perform this chore for him but the long trip up and back combined with extra heavy traffic in the Atlanta are, which extended to within 30 miles of Alabama, combined to really tire me out. There had been a problem with my left rear wisdom tooth for over a year, so I decided I should get it taken care of before I wound up isolated somewhere in PEI. The extraction didn't appear to be problematic until just be...

Altras

So I've gotten around to buying those Altra Zero Drop running shoes and have begun the transition program to get used to them. My only problem so far has been that sore gluteus muscle I got from the scooter falling on me. But I've managed two days of running and will continue to extend my distance until I get up to something near the training program for the Half Marathon. I don't know if Joe has signed us up for the run or not.
