I made it home for Christmas in December. In mid January I was offered a job a City Hall and took it. It's nice to be back working. All the traveling drains the savings account pretty quick. I am already making plans to head out again. There is more of the ocean to be explored. Robert Service wrote a poem called "Wanderlust" and it comes to mind fairly often these days.
I am training for another marathon. The last one was pretty slow, so I am trying to scape off the extra hour that really shouldn't have been there. About eight weeks left. I ran 17 miles yesterday with a couple friends. My knees are showing their age plus a few years. I have a few more long runs and lots of shorter ones on my schedule over the next two months.

Spring hit Nome about a month early this year. The ice is rotten and is starting to break off. Almost all the snow is gone and dust covers everything. Warmer weather makes running quite a bit easier. I've dropped about five pounds of cold weather gear. Running in wind pants, several top layers, and a face mask is always challenging.
