Such sad news that with all this warmer weather the US Pond Hockey Championships Golden Shovel weekend has been canceled. Years ago I stumbled upon it and would help out every year because it was such a fun experience to be out on a big lake with lots of games around you going on. 🏒 🥅 🥹
I really can’t believe this weather we are having as it is January 24th and it is lightly raining outside and 34ºF. The little bit of snow that we had is going to be gone quickly. I am going to continue to assume more snow is coming but at this point and looking ahead at the weather I think I made the right call on my own backyard rink.. as painful as it is was.
Remember that time I thought it was a good idea to put some watermarks on photos I uploaded to and old blog? Now that everything has been on M.b for a while and I stumble across them when I look at the On This Day, it makes me angry… I probably need to fix it. 😒 😆
The run itself felt good but boy was there some slick spots out there. What you can’t tell is the hidden ice on this sidewalk. We got a little mist (or snow that melted) and with temps hovering around freezing this is what happens.
Amazing how much better 30°F weather is to run in after all the single or below zero temps we had last week. I wish I could have gotten out in the afternoon vs the evening as we had sleet about 30 min before I went out and a couple places were getting slick.
Ended today with basketball again for this kid who made some great and clutch shots to help his team win by 1.

Was still cold outside on my run today but glad to get a couple more miles in before the weekend. In a round about way I have stuck to my plan for the week so feeling good overall but do wish I could have gotten a longer one in.
Finally the last of my domains have been moved off Google Domains to Porkbun… Saying this also has me thinking I should maybe let a couple lapse in the upcoming year as I am sure I don’t need them all.
With the sun out today this run felt much warmer. There was a little wind out so I strategically tried to not run into it for as much as possible.
Made a grave mistake today as I decided to come work from the shed for my 7:30am meeing and I should have turned up the heaters earlier. This 30° F working conditions is not great right now.
Didn’t want to not have run for 4 days because I was at a hockey tournament so I decided to go for a run to tonight in this balmy weather. Seemed like a good time to finally get my yearly Frozen Face picture too.
This rink is an experience and now to add to it they had bathroom issues so droppped off some of these. The weather outside is -6°F and I would guess in this “building” it is probably -2°F.
Good morning Duluth… It is so cold outside that steam is coming off Lake Superior.
