Gorgeous, RnR!
I totally get the long-legged hubby thing. It only took mine about 20 years to figure out that yes, it is more difficult to scramble up a giant boulder field when you are 5'3-almost![]()

And downclimbing is even worse! On our way home today, so back running! We have a mt bike ride scheduled tomorrow and then I am hoping to run on Sunday.
Wow, that ice just looks scary. Beautiful - but I really wouldn't want to do anything other than look at it!
My week:
4.5 miles in 80°, 90% humidity and 20 mph wind, including a 5K race out-and-back directly into the wind and returning with it.
9 miles in 55° and pouring rain
4 miles in 20° and sunshine, small patches of ice but nothing I couldn't avoid
5 miles in 65°, cloudy and 90% humidity
and my therapist still thinks it's pathological for me to be so disoriented .........

Oakleaf, I'm impressed!
Off running since my b-day and I'm feeling it emotionally. Plus it puts me behind on my training for my next race. Maybe I'll get out there this weekend!

Today was one of those runs where it felt like I had a headwind the whole way. Yuck. Just 4 miles. Tomorrow will be better (unless the alarmist version of the weather forecast is accurate and I end up on the treadmill....)
skhill - I think I had your perceived headwinds yesterday! I did 10 miles and wow...major suckage. My feet hurt, one hamstring kept getting tight, I was cold (not dressed correctly), the time dragged and I felt like I was running in molasses.
When I got home, I walked in and said 'I guess I need runs like that so that I appreciate the good ones."

The treadmill wasn't so bad this morning. 4 miles and I thought about keeping going but the rowing machine was free (for once) so I did about 15 minutes there to round out the morning.
Looking forward to starting out the new year with an outside run!
