run 1:08:00 [3]
Ran a mixture of dirt road, snow, and short grass prairie w/ sage. Funny to compare years; even though I haven't run much at all in 2008 so far, it took me until Feb 26 last year to run as many minutes as I already have this year. If I keep this up, I may have to return to school just so I can join the XC team. After all, I still have a full 4 years of eligibility!

I was planning to ski long enough so that by the time I got home, the slaughtering of the Giants by the Cowboys would be complete. Imagine my shock and horror when I turned on the TV after stepping in, and finding out I had miscalculated--still 4 minutes left in the game! But then imagine how it felt when I saw the Giants were winning!!! There was a definite case of happy feet on the loose.
It serves those evildoers right, trying to curse the Giants like that by sneaking in a TO bobblehead action figure when they thought nobody was looking.

While I was skiing I noticed two additional areas of beetle infested pines in the forest. It's going to be very interesting to see what kind of beetle damage appears next summer.

skiing 1:13:00 [3]
A wall of wind threatened to blow some holes in the Laramie Range today, but the plutonic interior somehow managed to defy the aeolian forces and held firm--this time.

Read Steve Martin's charming little book about his comedic career.

skiing 2:18:00 [3]
Started snowing lightly right as I got my skis on, and snowed the whole time until a little after I got back home. Skiing when it's snowing is such a blast!
run 38:00 [3]
Unusually icy underfooting on the roads and paths around town made paying attention essential.
Yowsa!!! 1 [1]
Only about 1" of new snow at home, debated whether Yowsa!!! was even necessary.

run 1:02:00 [3]
Quite nice and sunny out, and so little wind that the Laramie City Wind Generation Facility's blades are just baaaarely moving. You really have to get up close and stare a long time to be sure it's moving at all.
Ran by a store front of a business which has just shut down and had that old "I am not really here, I am just watching a movie" feeling again.

The wind may have been laying low earlier, but by late afternoon (= ski time) it was ready to rock and roll at full strength--and it was! Trails were fast with great grip on the ski edges.
