By “safety net”, I mean our driveway is socked in and there is no guarantee that if I ran into trouble Marilyn would be able to come fetch me in the car. We have the truck parked at the end of the snowed in driveway but there is no guarantee that it will start.

So I did 14 km on the treadmill. My pace was 7:45 and I could just barely tolerate the mind numbing boredom of the dreaded “dreadmill”. I only managed it by listening to almost three whole Pink Floyd CD’s.

Now I have to worry about getting to work tomorrow. It is going to suck having to carry a computer, a laptop, and my tools 400 meters to a truck that might not start anyway. With no driveway snowplows available for the near future, winter sucks sometimes.
