MCM and DS2. Hmmm....am I the only one that has no idea what these acronyms mean?

MCM = Marine Corps Marathon

DS2 is Dear/Darling/Damn Son #2




haha, thanks! MCM, awesome! My son is almost 2....would be a dream come true to race with him someday.

Currently in my house it is DD2, which would be Dipsh!t Daughter 2. I'm sure TJ is kinder than I.

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder!

I too would be kind if she could move back out and be more absent,

Never would I have imagined I'd be so happy to run so slow and such a short distance but I am over the moon over my .75 mile, 15 min/mile 'run' this morning on the Alter-G treadmill!  Today was just a demo, so I wasn't allowed/expected to be on very long.  I'm set up to go 2x a week the next two weeks, we'll see how it goes but so far so good!  Later and/or tomorrow may be the real tell - often my Achilles whines much worse after the fact.

I ran!  I ran!  First time since Thanksgiving Day.

Highly recommended for anyone stuck indoors for a long ride this weekend, if you like "virtual cycling" videos. There are others on the site that look promising as well--several in the two-hour plus range. You will need to provide your own tunes. I recommend something classical with this--Grieg's Pier Gynt Suite was awesome!

I have hiked and biked in this area, though not exactly this route, and it really does look like that--the light is amazing!
