I agree @RunsOnEspresso and @7lenny7 - its all about what your body is acclimated to. I grew up not far from the Canadian border and I lived in Norway for over a year. IN THE PAST, 26F seemed like a mild day. However, my job has brought me very south Texas for many years now. I went to visit my relatives in Rochester NY a…

@Scott6255 I’ve had hotels hold my luggage as well. The sucky part about no late check-out is no post-race shower before traveling. I had a friend once bribe a maid to let her use the hotel gym shower.

@MobyCarp Its working now. I just submitted an application for the lottery.

@MobyCarp I did not come close to a qualified time in 2018 and I don’t anticipate coming close in 2019. I am also not particularly lucky. Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)... I grew up outside of NYC and would love to experience the city in that way. If it happens, wonderful. If it doesn’t, I will move onto the…

For interested parties: Applications for the NYC Marathon start tomorrow! I am trying my luck at the lottery. The likelihood of me running a qualifying time in Miami is less than a snowballs chance in the 7th level of hell during a heat wave. LOL…

I don't wear a rain jacket due to the "sweating to death" issue. I will wear a hat when running in the rain to keep the drops out of my face. I also live Texas. It does not snow. It might get below freezing for a few hours at night in January. If it is super cold rainy (and I am running a race 1/2 marathon or longer), I…

@Nikkiwolf Thanks! I am glad I asked before buying a bench. You saved me some money. :) I have been doing some of the "bench" exercises on a stability ball or the floor. I will continue with that.

@greyparks206 I am totally calling "Woo" on your "weakest link" comment. Just wait until after I run the Maimi Marathon. You will catch up because I plan on moving as little as possible for 2 weeks after.

@nikkiwolf I am currently doing the "Strong" program and I was thinking of doing the "Mass" program next. I was hesitant because this means I will have to buy a bench. Can you tell me why you like the Mass program less than the Strong program? I might just do the Strong program again with heavier weights....

This is my New Years resolution as well! Well, it’s been my NY resolution for several years. One day I will organize my yarn stash and finish all my unfinished crochet projects.... [maybe]

No worries! I missed a run today as well. It happens and tomorrow is a new day. :)

Apparently, I am not going to get any "real work" done at work today. I am going to post random internet stuff instead. Oh, Monday. Just call me Blabber Mouth Gottapee.

I work as a reference (academic & public) librarian. By default, I think that wins me a million OG nerd / geek points. 😂
