No long run today. Fresh snow, unplowed streets, bitter wind. I decided to run indoors, but didn't get to it till after putting Charlotte to bed. I started slow and then worked my way to less slow. No pushing the pace for me today.

Good call. And no pads needed.

Smart move. This snow stuff is getting kind of annoying.

Hey, Matt, we are planning a trip to SD this summer. I think we are planning a stop in Sioux Falls. How close are you to there? Also, do you have any recommendations for must-sees in SD? We are definitely interested in the badlands and Mt. Rushmore. What else do we HAVE to see while there?

And the Black Hills and probably a stop to see Devil's Tower.

Tracy, I think you have all the main ones covered. When I think back to when I was younger those are all the places I remember visiting. I was going to mention the corn palace in Mitchell, but that one didn't leave a lasting impression on me. Barely remember it. Are you planning on stopping at all of the places on your list?

I was going to mention Yellowstone but after Googling it I found out it was over 7 hours away. Apparently geography isn't my thing.

You'll be just about in our back yard. We're only 53 miles north of Sioux Falls! You'll be
