It was a lovely sunny Marathon Monday in Boston and I had a great result – much improved from my last Boston two years ago.

Got a lovely run through Ames including seeing the revised high school, the old neighborhood and my favorite trail!

Had a great run to the Bunny and it was decked out for the day!

Everybody pay up!

Delighted today to get a comfortable run in about two inches of fresh powder. Footing under the snow was good, the trail shoes kept me moving and it felt like running on a soft carpet. Finished at Luce Line Brewing!

Got to Duluth and the big lake. Did not go in!

Honestly the toast at Al’s Breakfast in Dinkytown is out of this world. It’s not toast, it’s like a whole other thing.

Got some great miles in at Theo Wirth on New Years Day – footing was excellent!

One of our kids rescued a lovely cat and we are temporarily housing her while the kid finds a cat-friendly apartment. So for the first time in my life I’m living with a cat.

As you can see Rosie is very pretty and the two of us are working it out.

The training paid off with a great result at the Indy Marathon. It is a personal record for me!

Got some great trail time in Nebraska and Colorado in the last few weeks. Happy running in nature!

PRs for both of us!

Me and my running peeps had an ice cream truck surprise after our run. Hooray!
