2011 has arrived

| Taylor Mountain from my office window. |
I haven't posted much lately. I have a ton to say but I'm not sure what people want to hear. Please let me know in the comments or by emailing me. I've got Addison's rants out the wazoo if you want to hear them. I've got goals if you want to know them. I am feeling well. I am running well. Working enough. Keeping too busy! Pictures for your enjoyment.

| Shades of gray. While out on Saturday's run, everything was gray. It was bizarre. I stared thinking my eyes were broken! |
 |
| Eventually the skies cleared up a little bit. That's Red Mountain in the background. I can't wait for spring to be up on Red Mountain again. |
 |
| Holy crap. Something's green here in the middle of winter! |
 |
| Snow breaks things. |
 |
| Thin white line. This is why I feel safer on a treadmill in the winter. The actual running surface is the darker snow to the left of the white line. The whiter snow is soft and dangerous. I don't like cars. I prefer to worry about bears and moose and be on trails. |
 |
| This is an unoccupied osprey nest that a bald eagle is hanging out near. No matter how many times I see the bald eagles, they take my breath away. They are so beautiful. They are huge. |
 |
| Typical Idaho. Snow three feet deep and discarded barbed wire still can break through. |
 |
| Zero degree sun rise. |
You can talk about anything you'd like, Dusty. It's your blog. I'm happy to read it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input Steve!
ReplyDeleteHow are you feeling?!
:) Dusty
Pretty good. My blisters are finally starting to heal. (: How are you? Thanks for sending the runner mail!
ReplyDeleteIt's your blog and I like reading and looking at whatever you post.
ReplyDeleteI just like reading about whatever you want to post. I thought about you often during the Goofy Challenge this weekend. You would have loved the race in terms of the craziness! Phil deployed yesterday for a year. Sadness... Do you want to come for a visit? ;)
ReplyDeleteSteve, running is going well and I'm...wait for it...cross training! Woo, exciting!
ReplyDeletePT, thanks!
Linda, I was thinking of you too, sorry no emails! Can you come up here? I've got clients and houses that I can't get too far from at this moment. Coming down to you would be like a summer vacation!!!! We've got 18 inches of snow in our yard right now with more to come. You are always welcome to visit. Sorry Phil's gone for so long and thanks to him for what he's doing. :) Dusty
Rants can be thought-provoking and change-making. Bring it on!
ReplyDeleteDusty, My mane is Ken, 64 yrs young, doing my first marathon this summer. Have had addison's for 20+ yrs, but need some good advice as to salt intake, and med adjustments during a long and probably warm to hot marathon. Thank you, Ken Cook
ReplyDeleteDusty, Ken again, I am just so happy to have found this blog. Thank you for all you do for all of 'us' out there. I wanted to add a question about potassium. We do need to avoid it while taking in extra salt? Or is not a problem? I want to be squared away as much as possible for the marathon, but also for long training runs I am doing. Thanks, Ken
ReplyDeleteKen,
ReplyDeleteIt was great to talk to you the other day. I hope you will share your Addison's experience on the forum. We can never hear too many success stories. Yours is definitely a success story!
:) Dusty
Dusty, I am in awe of you, but what an inspiration for all of us. I will share as I go, and if I learn anything worthwhile, will pass that on, too.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun for me talking with you. The first Addison person I have ever visited with in 20+ years of the disease! Thanks, Ken
Call me anytime Ken! I love the picture you sent me. I know we'll have a great time when we meet. Anyone who takes a picture of himself in his new running shoes is my kind of friend!!
