Re: shoe rotation. Never done it. I buy a pair and wear them for about 400 miles. 350 miles is when they start visibly wearing in the top/toe area, and hurting my knees, but I try to get to 400 miles. I buy an off the shelf orthotic as well, and use them for about a year each, or until I can visibly see they have flattened out. Never had issues with "breaking in" shoes.

Unrelated, it's a snow day here in Atlanta. I literally could not drive out of my neighborhood - I tried! The massive hills had multiple vehicles stuck this morning, and unless you had a 4x4 vehicle, you weren't getting out. First time working from home. It's nice!

Good thing you ran this am since we will be cold tomorrow morning. I am, of course, running tomorrow morning!!

So I found an.... interesting challenge for a race this year.  It is a four day event, a marathon each day, at Four Corners. One marathon each day in Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. It's run by the same group that does the Antelope Canyon Ultra that Lisa did last year.  It's in December. So, if DS2 and I are able to swing the Dopey Challenge in 2019 then I'll probably do the HM's instead. If DS2 and I can't/don't get in to Dopey, then I think I'm doing a quad marathon in December.

Jensie just did seven and he's not even a runner!!!!

They (an organization within Navajo Nation) also have a couple neat looking, shorter distance, races up near the Grand Canyon that I might do.

My proverbial ears just perked up

I understand the Floridians aren't accustomed to the cold weather but 40 degrees sounds wonderful to me!  We've been in an extended cold streak.  Current temp is 22 (feels like temp of 10), lows in the low teens tonight, wind chills in the single digits.  We had an oddball 61 degree day last Friday and it was WONDERFUL but then we were right back into the 20s.

We've been really back and forth here in Raleigh as well. We had a week below freezing (very unusual for us) and then a few really nice days in the upper 50s. Now it's snowing but it's supposed to be 60 on Sunday.

Haha I get it! I lived my whole life in Kansas, land of a legitimate all four seasons (plus wind, that's the year-round nuisance) and I used to run in the snow, cold, everything but ice. But somewhere along the way, I decided I didn't like doing that! I do a lot of treadmill runs these days if it's not 40 degrees or warmer, but I have to say I am surprised at my first winter in the "south." I really thought Atlanta was warmer than this in the winter months. Maybe this is an anomaly year, but it's been almost like a Kansas winter this year. Lots of below freezing temps and two measurable snow falls so far. Ick.

[/QUOTE When I lived in Atlanta it was horrible (South Horrible) from November until the beginning of March, 30's cold, grey and raining. We even had the "Blizzard" of 92. 3" of snow that shut the city down for a week. Wait until you hit March. I love Atlanta in March, perfect weather and the Dogwoods are in bloom. My oldest is still getting used to the South in Winter. New Orleans had visible snow that caused schools to be closed yesterday, and today the temps were in the low 30's, so school was closed again. After 4 years at Michigan State and walking 30 minutes in blizzard conditions to class and school was cancelled once because the received 24" in a day.

I think think that 1-2 snowfalls, an ice storm and back and forth temperatures is kind of normal for Atlanta.
