CMTR Cross Training Badge

Had hoped for some form of skiing, but the snow's all gone, so I did Stef's strength class with my wife. Good thing I saved this one for last; I may not be able to move for a few days...


CMTR COMPLETE!!!!

CMTR Re Run Run Badge

Although we did a major purge of "unneeded" items before we moved, I find myself wearing professional clothes much less frequently in retirement, so I took about 25% of those clothes to Goodwill this afternoon. With other errands, this outing actually ended up taking longer than the exercise portion of the badge.

(only one badge to go now!)

CMTR Frozen Badge

Nothing clever. Just head out in sub-zero (F) wind chill for long enough. It was brutal near the fields and against the open headwind going to the second hill, but that was a heck of a tailwind (that didn't feel so cold) on the return trip!

CMTR 5K Time Trial badge

As I am not supposed to run on my new knee (although I did for the Nog Jog), I had been procrastinating this one, trying to decide if I would "sneak out" when my wife wasn't looking. Today's walk featured a wind chill that was often below zero (Fahrenheit) so I was planning to claim the Frozen badge. But then my Garmin told me that I had set a new record (for this watch?) with my fastest 5K time ever. [Note: this watch was purchased after I trashed my knee but before my surgery.] So, here's the challenge and I'll have to get Frozen later.

CMTR Snowman badge

We had a storm with wonderful snowman snow in early December, but I passed then. Since then we got 22 inches of very dry snow followed by rain. So, no snowmen. Today, there was a dusting on the driveway, so when I was done, I did a mini version of GPS art and drew a snowman (complete with hat) by scuffing up the driveway. Just as I finished, the school bus came by and I got a true "seal of approval" from the half of the bus that could see it!

Alas, the snowman was gone two hours later, cruelly murdered by Mr. Sun.
