Luckily I have the day off (and the rest of the week) since I have to burn up some vacation time and I didn’t have to drive to work. However, I did have to drive into St. Paul to get together for a run with my retired friends, Jim and Eric. I thought the conditions looked a lot worse than they actually were – at least running-wise. We met near the University of St. Thomas and basically ran the Get in Gear 10k course twice. Actually, each loop is about 5.5 miles, so we ran for 90 minutes and called it 11 miles.
- If you make a mistake like starting someone on a bye week or someone that’s injured, you will lose that week by a very narrow margin. A margin narrow enough to swing the other way if you had not made the mistake.
- If you make a trade with another owner it usually looks like a good trade up until the point that you play the team you traded with. When you match up against your old players, they will undoubtedly “go off.”
- If you make a last minute change to your roster for the week, it will come back to haunt you. Again you will lose by a similar score as stated in #1 above.

You drove up to run the Lake-Ford loop twice. Hmmm ... I don't understand how you can drive past Fort Snelling State Park on the way to the river roads! The snow on the trails just makes it better.
When I'm back in town we'll have to do Snelling lake and Pike Island sometime.
Thanks Susan, that's a new one on me.
Hey Mr. sub-2:50. Yeah, you're probably right, but when you're used to running the same out-and-back loop by yourself every week day, anything is an improvement.
