Some photos over the 10 years he was with me. Love and miss you every day old man.
Photos are in no certain order, just happens to be how I pulled them from my phone. But are generally oldest to newest.

Tonka Photo Montage
I miss Tonka aka T-Dog a lot. After almost 2 weeks since saying goodbye, I still wake up at 4am thinking he needs to go out to the bathroom and look at the sliding backdoor thinking I left him outside by mistake a couple of times a day. Sigh....

Sourdough Snowshoe Race
Another weekend equals another Colorado adventure. It is that time of year again for the annual Sourdough Snowshoe race. This year with the upcoming Georgia Death Race in April I needed to do 8 volunteer hours so not only was I racing but also flagging and removing flagging around the race.
Went up Nederland on Friday with Gemma aka Baby Girl and we marked the loop for the 30k racers. With Tonka passing the day before I did not want to leave her home alone yet. She is very confused to where he is and acting somewhat depressed like myself. Course marking GPS: https://www.strava.com/activities/1376718207
Saturday morning I ran the short race (11.5 miles) just cruising along and enjoying being in the mountains again. Hiked/jogged the first 2 miles with Clyde catching up since it has been a while since we have talked or seen each other. After leaving Clyde I caught up to Harsha and his wife around mile 3 and spent a mile running with them for it has been a few years since we have seen each other as well. Great catching up with others! Anyways decided to treat it as a progression effort and picked up the pace heading back. Ran a 1:31 the first half of the race and a 1:04 the second half to end up in 5th place. Fun morning out there. Tracks: https://www.strava.com/activities/1378587332
After finishing I quickly changed into dry clothes and drove around to the Lake Brainard road to hike the loop for the long race and remove the flagging. One could say I was pretty wiped out and ended up paying the piper for the rest of the week. First time on snowshoes in a few years and I cover 23 miles in 2 days, yeah my hips were shot. Tracks for flag removal: https://www.strava.com/activities/1378588026
Such a great event, give it a shot someday!
