I'm happy to report I did my best 10k time, 1 hour - 4 minutes. http://scott.tcstockphotos.com/2010/04/26/pikes-peak-rockville-edition/ So I have not been hiking since the last weekend in January. The trail remains covered in 18 inches of snow.

The air temperature was 16 with very strong winds up to 40 MPH. Made for a lot of ice, many slips and even a few falls. The ground really hurts when its frozen. Today we hiked south from Boiling Springs, PA ... http://scott.tcstockphotos.com/2010/01/04/happy-new-year-2/ I'm spending my last night here in the very cold Northeast. It was 5 degrees when I left Williston, Vermont this morning. Now I'm chillin' in a hotel room in Manchester, New Hampshire. (I just opened a beer bottle with an iron. Desperate times call for desperate measures) Life has ... http://scott.tcstockphotos.com/2009/12/30/steady-bloggin-from-the-very-cold-northeast/ I'm spending the week in Vermont. The weather is cold and the mountains are snow covered and gorgeous. Saturday I spent some time in Montpelier cruising the streets of the capital city.
