Shan's a speedie McSpeederton! The cold is really starting to get to me and it's not even that bad yet. Part of it's the weight loss. I don't know how you skinnies cope. Yesterday was in the 20s and, while I eventually settled in and was ok, the first 10 min of my run I just wanted to cry and call it a day. I have a Y membership, but they don't open until after 5:00 so I can't get a sizeable run in on the TM before work. I had forgotten just how bad training for a Spring marathon sucks and it's been less than a year.

Enjoy the award, Shan. That is really cool. I wonder if they weighed you in after the race if you would've qualified? You're going to have to do the exact opposite of wrestlers to keep winning in that division (carbo/water loading to get over 150 and then dropping back after the weigh in).

Shan, That's awesome, what did you win? I run one group with weight prices. I need to be over 125 to win. The little 100 pound girls are really fast, hate them. Murphy, That's a big time improvement awesome. Erika, We got slammed with snow. I feel your pain. Party was nice, weather kept some people at home. DH won major brownie points by keeping the real fireplace going, and then cleaning the ladies cars. Not a non-alcholic drinker in the bunch, but my vodka slush went better than the wine. What do I do with 3 bottles of open wine and 1,000,000 calories of chocolate candies???? Need coffee. Desperately want a good run, hope my feet are up to it. Tish of tendonities there I think.

Bugs- I usually throw the extras away- but that's just me....

I fed the kids chocolate for breakfast. Not sure about the wine. I might bring it to work. The beer keg is empty so it'll go over well.

I've been fighting off a cold all day (lost my voice much to the delight of my co-workers). Didn't want to run but got another offer from a buddy. Heading out the door now despite my generally poor health

... I usually throw the extras away- but that's just me....

Ack! I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that... Alcohol abuse! Bugs, just pack 'em up real nice and send 'em up to me. I'll take care of them. Oh, keep the chocolates. No run yesterday, just a little elliptical and upper body weights at noon and 40 minutes of pool running after work. Thinking if I want a run today I'll need to do it at lunchtime... ugh. I'll get all sweaty and gross (no showers). My legs have been a little creaky (shins and back/outer left knee) since Saturday's trail run so I might even just skip today. In the grand scheme of things, whether I do 4-5 miles today will have no bearing so might just do more XT. Bugs, happy snow-day. I'm tired of it already, and we haven't even started gaining daylight again yet. Made my hotel reservations for Disney. All I need now is the car. I'm making all my plans assuming I might be going alone. Hope not, but going to be prepared.

hmm... intervals today. My first time ever - I think I did well. But now I need to stick my legs...
