I've been trying my hand at developing #garmin watch faces; mostly for giggles. Check out my first effort called "Winderbars." It's designed for people that live where the air hurts your face.

From today's run – an 8 mile (ish) circle around the greater Twin Lakes Township metropolitan area.

Pro tip: if you've got problematic calluses/toenails, *get a Dremel tool* with the little sandpaper drum.
Takes practice – and it's like the scene from Dumb and Dumber – but no OTC tool has the torque for our...special needs.
I probably shouldn't use the "feet" hashtag.

Well, it's full-on winter in northern Minnesota; as I write this, it's currently 4°F (-16°C). This photo is from a just-after-dawn run I did in Duluth's Chester Park earlier this week.
I shot it as a video – which I'm hoping to post in a week or so. Stay tuned for that. 😉

In late November, you might notice upper-Midwesterners wearing brightly-colored outfits to celebrate a unique season that, by all accounts, is known only to them.
In Minnesotan, this garb is called, "Ya'haydehr jussoeyahnoe eim'nahtadeere kaythankya."

Pattison State Park in northern Wisconsin packs a lot of scenery into a relatively small area. Waterfalls, a lake and the Black River – just a few miles south of the Twin Ports.

If you haven't taken a run down Park Point beach, south of Duluth, you're missing out.
The water is usually only swimmable in July or August (and often still only for the strong-hearted); the beach is clean and wide – like the tropics, until you put a toe in the water.
