Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

shoveled the driveway (yes, third time in 24 hours). I almost went cross-country skiing, but decided that running sounded more appealing. Wore the NB 790s, which do the best on snow. The roads actually weren't too bad, and I had a decent run. It helped that it was very nice out too. Cold, but lots of direct sun. Went up Smithfield Canyon and back, about 6.5 miles or so. No watch.

So how much has it snowed in the past few days, anyways? The past week?

I have to agree- 790's are the best snow shoe. Only time I wear them, in fact.

do you know of somewhere that the 790's are still available? i've been looking around and can't seem to find them in stock anywhere since they were discontinued...

Nevels- what size do you wear? I'd part with mine for a small fee (plus shipping).

Jon - a lot. The snow banks by my driveway are up to my head, that's all I know. Easily 18"-20" or so for a 1 week total.

Nevels - I got mine in 2007, so I have no idea if they are still sold, or some sort of equivalent. I only put a few miles/week on them, so they've lasted three years so far.
