Anyways. On the way back I saw something moving in the dark (I stupidly left all lights at home and there are no street lights) that it took me a bit to figure out were deer.
My dudes, I almost got runned over by deer. Do they not know I AM NOT A GRANDMA?!?!? Sheesh.
Tea prices have been able to resist the upward push so far, but who knows what will happen during Spring Festival?
Deer probably couldn't tell because you weren't wearing reflective gear man.4 -

You mean the Charlie Brown Christmas special? If so, then yes, it’s totally a thing here. Possibly even more so where I live (Minnesota) because Schultz was from here.I am currently wondering if Billy Blanks’ taebo dvds can count as some sort of cross training. My muscles are definitely crazy sore over it. I took my forced days off of running to do a little strength training, which I’m horrible about keeping at despite wanting to be strong. Like, throw my husband out of a window strong. In case he is unconscious in a fire or something, totally not in case he eats my last pint of ice cream again. I might get to run tomorrow as he has an earlier flight than expected. 🤞🏻
@MegaMooseEsq Hah, we are stuck with the same rule here. I really want to buy Dead of Winter, too, so it’s super annoying. We are down to two games left unplayed though. Stone Age (which no one ever wants to play but me) and Ticket to Ride (I’ve played it plenty, but the copy I bought to play with my husband is unopened). We used to have a rule that all the games had to fit in the gaming cabinet, but now the excess are in the entry closet and I-think-I’m-addicted-and-no-one-will-stop-me-help. This is a common problem I have found with fellow tabletop gamers. 🤣
ETA, I passed on the information about the Legacy version to the couple we play with and they are going to pass the info on to the people who introduced them to the game. 😁
Ug, the only time I played Dead of Winter I had the most disastrous bad luck anyone I was playing with had ever seen. One of my characters had some special zombie-surviving trait and still got murdered on his first turn. And he was not the only character of mine that died that game, oh no! It seems like a great game, but that kind of soured it for me. I love Ticket to Ride - our primary gaming friends had original flavor so we got Europe. I’m pretty sure it was a wedding present - people getting married in their 30s after five years of living together don’t really need cutlery, but board game are another story!1 -
-
@MegaMooseEsq Oof, bad luck for a first playthrough! I haven’t played it yet, but I’ll definitely hope for better luck.0

6.4 miles on trails. Gonna sign up for the Memphis Winter Off-road race series, and the 5k is at the park where we usually run trails, so we looked at the course and ran it today. It seems to be 3.4 miles (map warned 5k distance was an estimate), and it's mostly exactly the route we usually run twice for our 10K trail runs, minus the boardwalk and plus a little strip of gravel road and the goose field.
So, about that goose field - what you do, according to the course map, is head out about halfway between the lake and the baseball diamond and just take off in a straight line towards the edge of the woods, where there's a path. Across a flat grassy field which is usually frequented by flocks of geese during the day and herds of deer at dawn and dusk. The field is not highland. It's sort of a marsh. Especially today, since it rained all night yesterday. Anyone who has been following my posts knows by now I am prissy about wet feet. My husband is even prissier. This is possibly not an asset to a trail runner. We both prissed around at first trying to keep our feet dry, then realized it was a lost cause and went for it. My husband nearly lost a shoe in the ankle deep mud. My muscles are sore in all new places from pulling my feet in and out of the sucking mud. Fun times! But it's likely conditions will be even wetter on race day, so it's something we needed to get over. Trying to do a finishing sprint in ankle deep mud is a good workout, though.
The weather looked good on paper - 50 degrees and not raining - but was actually surprisingly cold and clammy. It did hold off on actually raining until we were finished running, so that was nice. Also, we saw an owl, a barred owl.7 -
Got my hopefully last x-ray taken today and spent most of the day today in my regular shoes rather than the shoe/boot thingy. I see the podiatrist next week and hopefully get cleared to do something more than cycling at the gym, as in starting to run again. So in light of that I spent a portion of my training time tonight talking to my trainer about the approach to that, number of days, how far, etc.. We also spent quite a bit of time evaluating how I was running before and if there was anything specific that contributed directly to the injury, ie as in overuse but neither of us felt there was anything specific indicated. Now I feel like that commercial where the people are waiting for the store to open saying "open, open, open" only I am saying "run, run, run"...9

Do you guys get snoopys Christmas in the states? It's a kiwi staple, doesn't feel like Christmas till its been played
Have you read this @Avidkeo, it explains why it’s so huge here. https://thespinoff.co.nz/music/now-thats-what-i-call-music/now-xmas/12-12-2018/how-snoopys-christmas-became-a-classic-in-nz-and-nowhere-else/
Note for our American friends, it’s the song that’s big here - not the movie. And it’s possibly our most popular Christmas song.
Bruce Ward: “I started at EMI in 1967, looking after all the singles. And that was the Christmas it was released. It just came in as a sample from America and I was looking at all the overseas charts seeing if it had charted anywhere. And it didn’t chart anywhere! I was sure it would be a hit here and released it and it ended up the biggest selling single EMI ever had! How bizarre is that?
“I’ve gone through all the chart books and it never really charted anywhere. I mean it made the top 50 or so, but it was never a bloody number one record. It’s insane, isn’t it? There’s a lot tracks like that. New Zealand’s got a strange taste in music.
“And the stupid thing is, I put together The Best Christmas Album in the World Ever and because ‘Snoopy’s Christmas’ was on it, the album went absolutely crazy. And they’re still re-doing it now every Christmas. Every year when they do a Christmas album, ‘Snoopy’s Christmas’ is on it. And it’s 50 years ago! How can a single that’s 50 years old still be so popular? It’s crazy!”4 -

But you have "Last Christmas" too?
For me it isn't Christmas until that song has been played. Usually many many times ^^

I supposed what confused them it's that you are a "dear". Speaking of how good the English of non-natives is.

@Avidkeo Canadian Northerner and Yes Snoopy's Christmas is a standard along with Charlie Brown's Christmas tree. One year I even had a tree outside my house that looked like a Charlie Brown Tree, so I put 3-4 decorations on it and a mini string of lights with most of the bulbs out. It was a hit with the kids who went around the neighborhoods with their school/family or church groups singing carols in the evening.

@ddmom0811 great job on that streak!
The good news is that yesterday was the first day for which the good doctor gave me the green light to actually go for a 60 minute walk (don't tell him about my hunting trip).
The bad news is that after I got home from work I was so wrapped up in feeding the boys, putting hunting gear away, doing laundry and such, that I completely forgot about it until 11 pm.
I hope to sneak away for a 30 minute walk at lunch, then a longer walk tonight.
December progress: 3.5/15 hours walking

Oh that's interesting - I've never heard of the song. That reminds me of a conversation I was having recently with my husband, who is a big fan of the old Donald Duck comics. Apparently the Swedes are also super into Donald Duck, especially around Christmas.1 -
18/12 3.20 miles
19/12 3.20 miles
21/12 3.22 miles
While I love to run over the past year I'm suffering really achy ankles and tend to walk like an old lady and especially in heels (I don't feel dressed for occassions wearing flats as I'm quite short and dumpy). I'm not sure is its my weight and I have very flat feet which I think running has made flatter or both. I always wear Brooks Adrenaline and get new pair as soon as I feel any strains in my legs. I tried Asics before which were really good that but they always gave me blisters on the arch of my foot. If anybody has an opinion or thoughts I be glad to hear them.

Oh nope haven't read that, will do now.
I love the song because of the message, and it's the "bad guy" who's actually the good guy in it. I actually choke up a little when it first plays each year.2 -

Just chiming in to say I'm American and totally know the song. I'm pretty sure it's been on the radio for years.1 -
This is crazy, I just found out that my cousin ran a 10K last week. In ANTARCTICA!! What makes it even more amazing is that she's legally blind. Her husband was her guide, and he ran the full marathon. I think she signed up for the marathon then dropped down to 10K during the race. In the competitor guide it lists her as a marathon runner. No matter, it's still quite impressive!
That must be the most expensive race in the world. It's EUR16,000 (US$18,000) and they also have to pay to fly to Chile and back. Yikes!
If you're curious, the winning time was 3:49 and the median time of the 50 finishers was 6:37. Last place was just over 13 hours.

I found photos of my cousin and her husband on the race FB page
I forgot to mention, in addition to being legally blind, she's a USAF vet and a great artist. Her are is frequently shown in the local galleries.

It took a while to feel warmed up but when all was said and done, I had a distance PR!!! 5.72 miles! My plan has me doing runs based on time. I went about 0.25 miles further today than the last time I did this run.
YAY!!! Well done!

Made it to the end of my driveway before seeing that the sidewalk wasn't any better, and turned around. Rain all night on top of snow and ice and temperatures just above zero means everything is ice and water. I prefer to stay upright today. We'll see how things look tonight after I'm done with work.

RUNNING:
ETA I should add that I am literally only 5k away from both 1000 miles for this year, and 4000 km since I started running in March 2016. I was looking forward to getting out there today.9
