Stars' Landing

Marci: I think the Venn diagram of people who snowmobile at night and people who watch the Super Bowl is basically a circle.

I accidentally joined a weekend 5k challenge on the Garmin app. (I mean, I joined it on purpose, but I thought it was walking 5k over the course of the weekend, and it turned out to be running 5k all at once. Or, as Aaron says, "I did a marathon once: one mile every day for a month.")

Also when I posted something about goals last weekend I definitely mentioned kicksledding, although I can't remember if it was a goal or just a random comment, but let me tell you about kicksledding in New England, about which I know almost nothing. I know it's harder than I expected to actually get a kicksled here, because apparently the US isn't snowy enough to readily distribute kicksleds to every corner of the country.

(In the movie "The Day After Tomorrow," what was the line above which they wrote off the population? I thought it was an actual latitude line, but the internet tells me it was just "everything north of Washington DC." Seems like that's enough of the country to have kicksleds, to me.)

Anyway, Canada makes them, but because of tariffs won't ship them to the US. Alaska will ship them but you have to meet the plane at the airport. Minnesota will ship a kit to your door, which is how I ended up building my own kicksled from a kit in our living room.

Anyway, spoiler, I didn't die, and also it was really fun. I should make a goals post so I can note the 100% increase in kicksledding this year.
