1.5-mile walk around town in the dark, after the snow had fallen.

Marathoning on this day...  1996, I participated in the annual "Fat Ass 50" in North Adams, Massachusetts.  

This event consisted of many loops on the road, on a cold, gray day, and I believe there was a pretty bad snowstorm on the drive home.  

I have a time listed of  5:32:35, and I think that was for 26.2 miles - not 50k.  

This was my 8th marathon completed.

Day 3 of an Automation Training "SLC 500 - Introduction" course.

Roughly 24 - 27 hours of remote learning non-stop.  I've learned much new material, but I have also learned that I would be better served by half-day training sessions rather than full-day.  The last couple hours each day had me on overload...

Day 2 of an Automation Training "SLC 500 - Introduction" course.

Marathoning on this day in 1997... 

I completed my 14th marathon on this day in 1997.  It was the Grupa Dupa held at the Talcott Mountain State Park, home of the Hueblin Tower.  I believe TW and JK were the organizers of this "Fat Ass 50" type event.  I recall it consisted of loops up and around the tower, but I do not recall how many.  It was 50k, and I recorded a time of 5:11:13.

This will hopefully assist me with maintaining and programing our SLC-500 PLC's at the worksite.
