You got it in one. It's 3.5 miles, first one I've ever done. Heck, I don't even run...yet.

Yeah, I've been reading more and starting to train for the snowshoe race I'm doing in six weeks.

I won't really be racing, I just want to see if I can do it. I figure I'll be last or pretty close to last. Actually, I know I can do it, I'd just like to not walk it.

In between games at the moment and trying to decide what to play.

Thanks.

What part of the world are you in and what invasives are you dealing with? Around here, the big ones we deal with are Eurasian honeysuckle, bittersweet, Japanese barberry, multiflora rose, and Japanese knotweed.

I love working outside in the winter. I feel more alive, more alert, more in tune to what's around me, and yes, it does feel more primeval and spiritual.

And Oh, hey there, Sidd! Good to see you!

From what my serious(ly crazy) runner friends are telling me, if there's pain involved, you're doing too much too soon. I tried cross country in college and was miserable the whole time. It really soured me on running, and led me to believe that I wasn't a runner and shouldn't be. What all the research I've been doing and what my friends (who are crazy and run ultramarathons) keep telling me is that everything I previously experienced was a) bad and b) wrong. But if things go well, I may be joining them for group runs in the spring. We'll see.

Nope. But the concept is fantastic, even if the execution was lacking.

The Vampire Diaries is of teenish and angsty. I started out watching it to get more of the backstory for the characters in the spin-off The Orginals, and now I kinda want to know what happens next. As for Buffy and Angel - I always liked Buffy better.

Also, now I don't feel so bad about watching The Vampire Diaries, lol!
