Happy New Year Fast Eddie and everyone here!

4000 km of running for me, and a race year that went well, with two world masters age group podium finishes (xc and marathon) and four more at USA championships. Stayed healthy through the year and still enjoy the process.

Oh boo.  It got really good reviews on their site.

I did get my last TM at Canadian Tire and it was OK.  It still worked when I (regrettably) gave it away.

I've been storm stayed since Sunday.  Roads closed, whiteouts, can't even drive to the gym.  I sure could use a run.  It would be far too dangerous on the road with whiteouts.

Rarely do I wish I lived in the city, but times like this I do.

Run commute day. 7K in morning and 7K back home in the evening. Some cautious walking a few time on icy park paths and curb snowbank hopping.

Don't know anything about them. I took a look at their website. Their budget Horizon brand I don't think rates very well. I've seen that brand at Canadian Tire, which is probably not a good sign for robust fitness equipment.

My LifeFitness treadmill is 10 years old, and I bought it used, so I'm guessing it's at least 15 years old. But I don't use it much. Maybe 3-6 times a year, when the weather outside is really bad.

Food / Any good stuffing recipes?

« Last post by floridagal on December 30, 2025, 09:18:23 AM »

I keep trying but haven't found anything yet.  My stuffing this year was fine - but eh.  If I'm going to enjoy carbs I want it to be delicious....
Would love to know if you have a recipe you like!

Rain and warmer temps opened up the roads overnight, but still plenty of slushy and icy section on the 7K morning commute run to work.

Temps dropped throughout the day and boy, it got windy. So just 2K run from subway station home against the cold wind.

Icy patches are finally gone here so I got out for a run again. 3 miles felt really good even the hills.
