    You did great @martaindale .

    Nice run @kgirlhart . When the wind is blowing, it always feels like you have a head wind in both directions. Why is that? Anyway, you did great and I'm glad the dogs weren't an issue. And, you are right about the turkey vultures. I love the "kind" description of them. :lol:

    Nice run @WarmJellyfish . Beautiful, but oh so cold. Explain "Had to posthole some snow drift banks." please.

    Nice running @Emilienewme . Sometimes life does get in the way. When that happens, we do our best and move on. Sounds like you are doing just that.

    @quilteryoyo postholing happens when you walk in very deep fresh snow and your footprints leaves holes like a a hole for a fence post. Usually shin or deeper tracks. It's a bug bear to walk in, as you have to lift your legs vey high to walk. Imagine sinking into your upper shins and lifting that leg for the next step for 50 yards.

    Speed interval workout this morning. The weather was perfect! Low 40's without wind. Perfect!
    This was 7 x 1 minute repeats. Garmin gave me a completion score of 31% but when I reviewed the run, I actually did 4 of the 7 intervals too fast. That makes me feel better than getting a low score because I was too slow. 1 minute goes by so quickly that it's hard to gauge your pace in real time.

    Happy Birthday @Avidkeo!

    @Laurz9191 I'm glad the calf is behaving and you are able to run.

    All this food talk is making me hungry. I'm definitely looking forward to pie in a couple of days. Plus my mom's sweet potatoes.

    Great running @SummerSkier . I'm sorry that your neighbor is an unreliable tennis partner, but sounds like since you have found that out you are just "going with it" and aren't mad when he cancels, but pleasantly surprised when he follows through. I remember when you had the sandwich snow. Love the clematis and glad you are being productive while you are off work.

    @tarun_yadavA So sorry you didn't get your run in Central Park, but I don't blame you. Enjoy that eatathon.

    Sounds like a great run @martaindale .

    Very impressed with your running/moving totals @kgirlhart .

    @laurz9191 I'm so happy to hear that your calf isn't hurting. That's great news. Great running and the food looks delicious!

    @Avidkeo Happy Birthday. You did great to get out and do what you could.
