I'm not quite sure how I did it, but I have deleted all of the WSF photos.  I am working on restoring them, but until then this site is photoless.

I'm not sure who's idea it was, but TJ, Trevor, Wendy, Roger and I all recently ran a half marathon (13.1 miles) in Key West.  At the time we commited to the run a week in the tropics sounded like a great idea.  Who knew training during a KY and Seattle winter would be so challenging.   Trevor, TJ, Roger, and I schlepped through mile after mile in snow, ice, rain, wind and freezing temps.  Wendy, who is now living in the Keys, trained in 70-80 degrees and sunshine all the while tanning as she ran.  Can you pick out Wendy?

A friend of a friend on Facebook posted this picture of her kids feeding the horses after a Colorado snow and I couldn' resist posting it here.  Wow!

The most recent span of relatively warm weather has given me the CDE season itch.  I was able to do some riding and driving this past week and it was so great to get back in touch with a horse instead of only pounding the pavement.  The Key West Half Marathon that TJ, my brother, uncle, vet and co-worker and myself are all running will be over and done with in 11 days.  Yeah.

The most recent January cold spell has brought about a unique experience for a group of Northern born Kentucky transplants - Kentucky Pond Hockey.

On Saturday and Sunday guys from Ohio, Canada and Michigan gathered at the farm of a good friend to enjoy hours of wide open pond hockey.  No helmets, no pads, beer, tuques and Carhartts put a big smile on the faces of these guys as they skated on a type of ice not normally found in Kentucky.
