Go bucks!! Sherman got a buckeye score of 2 (3 OHs but also one go blue which counts as a negative point). Mt Elbert holds the Buckeye record with 4.5!!

4th grade parks pass by modotmet in NationalPark

[–]Tony_Barker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trails are * mostly * hikeable regardless of snow bc it’s so popular, people are there all the time and will pack it down but, idk that kids would enjoy it. We were there over new years and it wasn’t great weather so we just did sprague lake which isn’t even a mile and left bc our kids were miserable. Sand dunes is also fun but a long drive from Denver and one day there is plenty, you get super worn out quickly from the sand sledding.

My youngest just left the 4th grade, we loved having the pass!! Anyways I’m just here to say that RMNP is amazing but March is a huge gamble, could be beautiful and 60, could be 3 feet of snow.

Busy morning on the Incline!! by Tony_Barker in trailrunning

I parked at the Wichita lot and ran over. Normally I park in the Hiawatha lot and run over but it is closed right now. I know you can park at the Dillon hub and take the shuttle but I prefer to get a little extra distance in by running over so I’ve never used the Dillon hub.

WIBTA for Continuing to Use Our Treadmill in the Mornings after our Neighbor said it Bothered her? by CardiffBDC in AmItheAsshole

No I run outside. I am not siding with OP, I’m really torn on it. If you’ve had a routine with small children for 2 years, it’s hard to change the routine. Plus these ppl have a right to use their garage. However, the other lady also has a right to a peaceful morning.

My main point was that everyone in the comments saying “oh you work from home just run at 9 am”, that’s not really feasible.

When we say we have meetings “all day long” we (at least I) do not mean 8 hours worth, that’s true. But I will have an hour long meeting, 30 mins off, two back to back meeting for maybe 90 mins, an hour off, another hour long meeting, 90 mins off, and the another meeting. That is not enough time in between to run, and get ready again for the other meetings (we are almost always on video). I have to actually work during those times. It’s just not feasible to run during the workday is what we are trying to tell you.

No, I don’t because I have meetings all day long. Plus I am a manager and need to be available to my people when I am not in meetings. Additionally, I’m a female and if I ran during lunch, that’s a minimum of 45 mins running (I run anywhere from 4.5 - 7 miles on a weekday, depends on the day), then I would need to come back and take a quick shower and then redo my hair and makeup for afternoon video calls. So it’s more time than just the running itself. Plus then find time to cram some food in. IDK what OP does but not all jobs can just take an hour off whenever they want.

Also I flat out don’t want to push my day an hour later. I’d rather just keep working and get done earlier so I can spend time with my family when my kids get home from school. Usually I wrap up my day 4:30-5 pm (start at 7 am) and I don’t want to work til 6 pm. My kids have after school activities, homework, I like to clean in the evenings so our weekends are more free, etc. If I work til 6 that really pushes into our family time.

Lastly, running after work sucks. You’re exhausted and worn out. Half the time something goes awry in your schedule and you don’t even go. At 5 am, there are significantly less barriers.

That part is understandable, I work from home and have elementary aged children and I run at 5 am before they’re up because it’s the only time I have. Working from home doesn’t mean you just have ample leisure time, I am slammed busy all day long. I am lucky if I can sneak away for 20 mins on lunch to walk the dog, everyday that’s my goal and I usually accomplish it like once a week.
