We are forecast for 1-2 feet of snow tonight and it has begun. Shaun (one of my athletes who just PR'd in the half marathon by 22 minutes) and
Ghostfeather are possibly sticking pins in a Lucho doll tonight... but I am super psyched for this. The two pictures below were taken 30:00 apart and the snow continues to fall harder by the minute. Like an 8 year old hearing the potential for a snow day I have been feverishly mapping an epic run route for tomorrow. I had planned on 35 miles down on the flats but with the potential for a huge snow dump I will shoot for 35 miles up here in the snow.
The tire in the picture is bolted to a big log and it's been my core workout for the past month... I beat the crap out of it with an 8 pound sledge hammer. I can go to town on it for several minutes straight now before losing my grip on the sledge. When I started it only took about a minute before I would drop it. It sounds goofy but if you try it you might change your mind.

You are crazy, man. Crazy! Aren't you sick of snow yet!? :) I guess not--which is why you live in the mountains.
Interesting about the sledgehammer workout. Not sure what that says about you, Lucho....
I love the snow! I used to be a heat guy (I raced Kona 6 times and loved it the hotter it was). Not sure why I now love the cold?
The sledgehammer workout has been around for decades. I don't go to a gym, they are all too far away. So this works well. I chopped wood most of last fall but finished it all off.

Hah, true! My Lucho-face Dartboard is in the mail, too.
well, just for kicks, i hope you get some kind of freak storm reversal and get a heat wave up there. i'm really not enjoying your enjoyment about the snow. i'm over it. it's may and i want to sweat when i go outside.
i'm off to pout now.
GZ- Ya, no thanks. I love their music but I don't think I want to be amongst thousands of their fans.
Shaun- Dart board... nice.
Kerrie- Well, we ended up at ~8" and this morning it is 15 degrees. No heat wave, which surprises me since global warming is so horrible.
