    @katharmonic – loving the pictures from Seward Range. Ice on the trail already? I can’t imagine why none of your hiking buddies didn’t want to run with you! Lol!

    @HonuNui – I bet that was a very emotional race for you. Hugs!

    Love the pictures @katharmonic! We also went on a hike this weekend. 12 miles Friday & 8 miles Saturday.
    Ours was a very flat out and back in Arkansas, Eagle Rock Loop. Only 800ft elevation gain when the hike a few weeks prior was 4000ft elevation gain. That is a lot for us :)!

    I hope everyone has a nice day!

    @shanaber the picture of Hobbs is a keeper ha ha! How far the bathroom room is directly related to how bad you need to go. :p

    Cool pictures @polskagirl01 ! Thanks for not making us play the vegetable guessing game. That one would have been hard! :lol: I too like to look at mushrooms, but leave them where I find them.

    @rheddmobile Glad you found the lonely trails to run and explore. Beautiful scenery. Laughed at the redneck port-a-potty.

    @mbaker566 My collie will claw through a chain link fence and then come around and knock on the front door.

    @polskagirl01 It was kind of fun running with them.

    Thanks @quilyeryoyo In my experience so far I think most of the big dogs I have encountered running just want to run with me.

    @katharmonic Beautiful pictures!

    @shanaber Hobbes is adorable!

    @polskagirl01 Those do look cool!

    @rheddmobile Looks like a great place to run!
