Spent quality time with the plants this evening. It isn’t quite as relaxing as working a vegetable garden, but it suffices over winter.

Got up in the mountains this morning. Bit chilly, around 35°F, motivation to keep moving, and felt like it should snow.

Forgot how satisfying digging a post hole can be.
Saw the tag #iceBeard and remembered this long, snowy run years ago… God, not a white hair in sight.
Just had a need to tell her how I feel moment.
If she were alive, my granny would be disappointed in tonight’s batch of cornbread.
But then again, she’d probably wouldn’t be talking to me after I married that queer German gal who likes to present as a man.
Oh, well. It still tastes good.

Good Morning from Emma

The weather did not disappoint. Damp, foggy, and you could hear the wind howling through the gap.

Overcast. Raining. 45°F. Today’s long run will be miserable. Anyone remember #embraceTheSuck about a decade ago over on twitter?

This girl did 5.4 miles with 1500’ of climbing. Still going like a dynamo. I can’t wait to get her up to 9+ miles for some good mountain runs. #dogsofmastodon #trailrunning #snp #terrier
