From my house in the suburbs. There is a lot of light pollution here and can actually see the reds with naked eye. Saw better last year in October, but had to drive 35-40 min out to the country.

Can actually see from my backyard in Indy suburbs. Reds visible with naked eye. Which is wild considering the light pollution

Well now Elon throwing a fit about it so somehow I agree with him again (waiting for them to try to deport him for speaking up). And this was last week. I don’t like this alternate 1985 timeline (from back to the future) we’ve gone down over the past decade…

Got Boston done again today. 3:06:23 which isn’t a PR but is the fastest of the 3 Bostons I’ve done by 1:30. My quads seizing were a bit. Something about this race gets me though. With the hills, the randomness of the weather this time of year, I enjoy trying to continue to “beat the course”.

Mine won’t let me use the downstairs bathroom in peace. Can’t lock the door so she’ll headbutt the door and make an entrance, then meowing for food and to turn on the faucet for water (because she doesn’t like to drink water out of a bowl like a normal cat, sometimes out of a glass though)

Well I wanted to go for a longish run today, but with this on the ground, 25 with a wind chill in the low teens, and my sinuses filled with crud going on week 3 I’m feeling less than motivated this morning.

Sort of a dreary, windy, snow flurry filled 6.5 miles today. Still feels better than not doing it, and better being on a treadmill (just no)

Starting the day with some snow. Finishing the day with some snow. Pretty in a way but still not looking forward to having to drive in it with everyone else on the road already driving like Heath Ledger’s joker most days
