It seems like the 48 hour rule isn’t going to apply this week. Another run that started from another grocery store so some different scenery.

Wednesday February 4th, 2026

These photos, taken from the same spot, are as far as the east is from the west. The Sandia Mountains are to the east and the Three Sisters Volcanoes are to the west.

Thursday February 5th, 2026

Strength training/functional fitness workout.

Friday February 6th, 2026

Midday outdoor activity similar to a run, sandwiched between a super stressful morning and a too much work to do afternoon, but I was out there (and got through the tunnel safely)!

Saturday February 7th, 2026

Snow on the parts of the mountain that don’t get direct sun, with hardly any on the rest of Sandias.

Sunday February 8th, 2026

Another short run today but at least I got something in.

Rich Dafter
Prior to May 1985, I was super fit and super healthy, routinely running between 50 to 70 miles a week. Between March 16th and May 5th 1985, I ran 34:32 for 10K, 57:46 for 10 miles, 53:20 for 15K, 27:38 for 5 miles and 16:26 for 5K. I was 34 years old. On May 17, 1985, at around 5:00 PM on a Friday night, I was driving home with my then five year old daughter and we hit a van broadside. The van had been stopped in the left lane of a four lane road with its left blinker on and unexpectedly made a right turn out of the left lane directly in front of us. That accident, although we both survived, in an instant, ruined my health and changed my life. On Sunday, May 19th, I ran the Midland Run 15K (which I had run and eventually would run or try to run, 13 years in a row) and ran 53:03.
