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

Back outside for a while, (I hope)
I’ve mostly been running on a treadmill this week. As much as I detest running on those, it is just hard to get motivated to run outside when it is -30F and colder. 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)
Christmas at home, heading into the new year.
Lynn and I had a quiet Christmas at home with Snowball. Christmas day we were able to talk to all of our children which was nice. Other than our usual run workout we spent the day catching up with people on the phone and generally taking it easy. I took the dog out early Christmas… Continue reading Christmas at home, heading into the new year.

Heat Wave
We have been having very warm weather here lately. It gets above freezing for a good portion of the day. The weather is more like early spring than January. There is a lot of overflow on the creeks and lakes making travel fairly hazardous. These pictures show the weird property of snow around here when… Continue reading Heat Wave
Finally Back in Galena
Well, we are finally back in Galena after spending a couple of days in Fairbanks shopping. Snowball was happy to see Victoria and we are glad to have a weekend to unwind and get ready for work next week. I have posted a few pictures of Victoria’s graduation. It snowed about 14 inches in the… Continue reading Finally Back in Galena
First snow of this winter season
Today we had our first snowfall of this winter season. No real accumulation but it serves as a reminder that winter is just around the corner. We will likely have only one or two more barges before the river starts freezing. The temperature has been below freezing at night but has been getting up to… Continue reading First snow of this winter season
