Day 291, Saturday Dec 13

Didn't get online much this week other than popping Tahoe photos up to FaceBook! But Mar and I did a lot of hiking. Wednesday we sort of decided to hike around Fallen Leaf Lake and racked up 9.39 miles for the day.

Thursday we hiked to Eagle Falls--the rocks were very cool but the water a bare trickle!--did some shopping, then hiked some more in search of an old lighthouse. 6.7 miles.

Friday we loaded up to head back to Reno but found a trail along the east shore of Lake Tahoe that begged for a quick hike. Mar dropped me off at the airport and I got a wee bit more steppage in the Reno and Seattle airports. Arrived in Spokane to a blizzard. 4.1 miles.

Saturday we'd stayed overnight in Cd'A due to the horrid roads, drove home, found the water frozen. I did take Brody for a shortish walk due to the -15C blowing snow--but we both needed out anyway. 2.32 miles.

Day 290, Friday December 12

Getting lonely on the trail. We had an ice storm last night. Over a million people without power and lots of downed trees. Fortunately we only had the downed trees. So I rode the stationary bike in the morning 6 miles. Cleared up in the evening so walked 1.5 with Bonnie.

Total: 7.5

Day 289, Thursday December 11

35 and light rain, but ran 3 miles in the morning before class. Was too cold and rainy to walk in the evening, so just had a cup of hot cider.

Day 288, Wednesday December 10

Warm and wet today, was 58 when I got up. Yes 35 degrees higher than on Monday. Ran 3 miles in the morning before class, was nice to be able to run in shorts, but not so nice in the rain. Walked 1.5 in the evening with Bonnie.

Day 287, Tuesday December 9

Taking a class this week so had to work out early in the morning, it was cold, windy and dark, so I rode the stationary bike (not the tough hiker I should be :)). Did 5.5 miles and then walked 1.5 in the evening with Bonnie. Today looks warmer so I'll go out before heading to class.

Day 286, Monday December 8

Almost took a zero today, lots of meeting and email to get through so didn't have time for a noon walk or anything. But did manager a 1.5 mile walk in the evening. Was in the low teens so finally broke out the winter coat.
