3000 yards in the pool today, with a long climb down the ladder of 500 (8:40), 400 (6:45), 300 (4:52), 200 (3:12), 100 (1:30), 50 (0:40). 100 EZ between reps. Tough workout, the kind I'll replace with a solid tempo run when I can get back up to speed on land.

12 miles at a pleasant cruising pace.  Snow flurries, overcast, rhodendron leaves were curled and the cat didn't want to go out.   Puddles on the ground didn't melt today.

I've had some symptoms of overwork for a couple days - scratchy throat, sleeping badly, among other things.

I intended to run 5 X 1 miles today.  But mid-way through the first one it was apparent that though I might survive, I wasn't going to thrive.   So I put the watch away and settled down for an enjoyable ramble.

Wildchild and Orangemat – woohoo for your DDs showing an interest in running (and Wildchild’s DD for her PSAT scores).  I’m hoping my DD will run with me someday.  DS doesn’t really have much interest.

Took off work today at 3:15 and took the kids sledding. The snow will melt by Friday, and we don’t often have enough snow at a convenient time for me to take them, and by the time I have the time (like the weekend), it melts. DD’s favorite thing is “horsey” – where I lay on the boogie board on my stomach, and she “rides” down the hill on my back. Lots of glute work helping her and the sled back up the hill.

Skip, if you're still around, did you say on your marathon cooking day that you couldn't run? was that a schedule thing or are you still hurt?
neat story about your son. a good thinker.

berger, funny.

You love your Garmin, I love my new 2008 datebook!  I can hardly wait to write in all my 2008 appointments & races & meetings!     It has a ribbon and tear-off corners and a world map in it, too.
