A little something to look at that isn’t in the major news. I was drinking my coffee and decided to upload a few more. Once I get caught up at work I’ll put an album up.

Iditarod Comes to Galena
Iditarod and other news Of course we all know what is dominating the news cycle lately. Not going to perpetuate that issue. I’ve been continuing with my run training. I still kind of have a hard time getting out and running at -30F but I’ll get there. Lynn and I had to cancel our trip… Continue reading Iditarod Comes to Galena

Moose in the mirror
Lots more snow lately. Even the moose have taken to walking in trails and driveways, (can’t really blame them), instead of breaking trail just to get to food. Lynn was backing into our driveway this afternoon and had to wait while this moose calf finished trimming the brush beside our driveway. Last night as I… Continue reading Moose in the mirror
Running in the snow again
It warmed up considerably on Monday, it wasn’t too cold at about -2F but the overnight snowfall made the run it a little challenging. We got somewhere between 6 and 7 inches total over the weekend. The road in to work had not been plowed by the time I left so the run in was… Continue reading Running in the snow again

I know I should, but I chickened out and ran inside on the coldest days. Some places have treadmills that are positioned… Continue reading Back outside for a while, (I hope)
Another chilly day
Snowball and I decided to try and get some of our chores done inside today. Temps outside were indicating right at -50F on the outside thermometer. I needed to catch up on some updates to this blog, mostly updating some older code and such. As you can see, Snowball was so excited to watch she… Continue reading Another chilly day
A little chilly so I opted for the treadmill again
A little too cool for my taste this morning so I opted to do my run on the treadmill. 7.08 miles in 1:07:12. Air temperature in the workout room was a little above 90F. I don’t really enjoy the treadmill but I do need the time on my feet.
Recap of last year
Well, so much for my plans to keep this up to date. I’ve decided to take a slightly different tack this time. First up, I’ll try and summarize last year. Lynn’s surgery After many trips to various doctors, Lynn went down to Oklahoma in June and had a total knee replacement. This was a long… Continue reading Recap of last year
No it didn’t — Craig Medred
Forty-one years ago, a now defunct newspaper – the Anchorage Times – declared the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race was created to “commemorate the historic trip made by 25 mushers to deliver serum to diphtheria-stricken Nome.” The claim was fake news before there was fake news, but it lives on to this day. via No it… Continue reading No it didn’t — Craig Medred
