<p>Got my butt out of bed this morning after a whopping 4 hours of sleep (my new reality...  whatever, I'm adjusting to it) and went to the pool.  Good swim, and I'm glad I did it since I skipped Tuesday's swim.  Will run a few tonight. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I teach again this weekend, so it looks like I'll be running before Spinning again on Sunday.  My poor legs.  <span><img alt="smile.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1327067795186_280" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span>   Bike trainer class tomorrow (20+ hellacious miles), and then run 7-8 miles Sunday morning before teaching a 90-minute Spinning class.  It wasn't too bad when I did it two weeks ago, but of course that was the first trainer class so Coach took it easy on us.  I'm not expecting an easy class tomorrow, which means my legs will be dead-er on Sunday.  (It's a word.  Go with it.)  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1327067795186_151" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The good news is, I feel and look trimmer.  Both our scales went into the trash last weekend because they were just NOT cooperating (even with new batteries, the scale said I weighed 62 pounds or something equally ridiculous).  I have no idea what I weigh right now, but I feel good and that's what's important.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone racing this weekend?</p>

<p>Whazzup.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Theia</strong> - sorry your sleep is the suck.  But man, you are an animal.  Awesome.  I am glad you are feeling fitter too - that is always suck a wonderful feeling. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had a great run this morning.  Had to run on the mill because it is still below zero and the footing sucks.  I did 7.5 total with 5 at goal marathon pace (7:47).  Didn't feel too hard and my HR was in a really great place.  So that was very nice.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now I am debating whether to go into work or to just work at home.  It is supposed to start snowing very soon.  It would be great to get into the office, but I really don't feel like getting stuck in an hour+ commute to get home AFTER the snow storm comes.  Hmmm.  We'll see....</p>

<p>i'm on call working tonight so AK is at daycare while i sleep and then get a bunch of errands done. i've really slacked in the cleaning/laundry/cooking dept these past few weeks as AK has been very needy (8 teeth coming in!) so i need to get on top of it. </p>

<p>Morning</p>
<p>4 miles at the dome last night and 3 miles at the lake this morning.  Footing was good during the morning run and temps were fine too (3F) but the snow keeps on falling and the commute was a dog forsaken mess.  egad.  I cannot work from home :(</p>
<p> </p>
<p>any who</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am racing this morning if you would call it that. :)  It should be a lot of fun..even the pup has an ugly sweater</p>

<p>Stay safe in the weather, everyone!  We're supposed to get a wee bit of snow and ice tonight and tomorrow also.  And I <strong>need</strong> to be in to work tomorrow morning.  That might be fun... </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Theia</strong>, your workouts are incredible...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did an easy 3.3 miles last night.  First run since Phoenix. Felt just fine.  I'll probably do something similar tonight.  Since I have to work tomorrow, I dunno if I'll have time for a run.  Maybe later in the day...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy Friday, guys!   <span><img alt="banana.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1327070829854_158" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif" style="width:33px;height:35px;"></span></p>

<p>Morning all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Where's the irony in this?  I nearly got boBed by a pickup truck in my neighborhood last night, and as it drove away from me, I saw that it had a 26.2 sticker on the back window.  My guess is that it was some kid driving his Dad's truck. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh well, recovery runs continue.  Legs are starting to feel a bit better. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Who's got what for weekend plans?  running or otherwise?  Me and my kiddos are going to a hockey game tonight.  Alabama vs Tennessee.  Yes, hockey has made it this far south, and we're big fans.  Well, I guess you could say that I've turned my kids into fans.  My Dad took me to my first Red Wings game in 1979 and I've been a fan ever since.  I took my son over to ATL last season to catch the Thrashers vs the Flyers and we've been to Nashville to see the Wings play the Preds.  It's all good. </p>

<p>do you think it's considered bad form to ask for a bottle of wine to be included with my lunch order?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>it's turning out to be that kind of day....<span><img alt="rolleyes.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1327072544409_151" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>Since I thought some of the 30s might be doing the same thing I do when there's football talk, I thought I'd answer Tim's QOD in another post. :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have guitar tonight, then I'm going to see a play with my friend Mark.  A woman I costumed, who is an Equity actress, is in it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tomw, I am going to the Bruins/Rangers game.  THAT should be fun...I've never been to Bruins game before.  Seen hockey just not pro.</p>

<p>Only about 1" of snow last night, light and fluffy so shoveling was quick.  Looking at 3-6 tomorrow.  My weekend plans hopefully include a Giant victory on Sunday.  Also detected a water leak in the basement (wet drywall) so I need to take that apart.  Boo.</p>

<p>Unplanned rest day due to a wicked headache.  Started yesterday afternoon :(</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Weekend plans:  Josh Lindblom charity game night tomorrow (from the area and plays for the dodgers) and going to see Rain on Sunday.  The rest of the weekend is for laundry and other chores + 3 miles and maybe a spin class?</p>

<p>Hey, all.  Met with the new trainer this morning.  Of course, my back was cranky so I tried to keep my winces to a minimum while trying to convince her that I was ready to go.  First workout is Monday at 7:30.  She seems really willing to work with my modifications and she understands that I want to sweat, so we'll see.  I'm glad we're starting on Monday since I again had a hard time getting out of bed this morning.  I definitely need to go to bed a little earlier but I need to find something fun to motivate me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>((((<strong>Moe</strong>)))) I'm sorry things are tough for you right now.  Have you consulted a professional about your grief and anxiety?  Medication may not be required, but it might help to talk to someone.  I don't know what I'd do without my therapist.  I hope your work stuff sorts itself out soon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since my office chair and the replacement exercise ball are doing a number on my back, I'm attempting to work from home today while sitting in the chairs that were great during the break.  Previous attempts to work from home typically resulted in naps and not much productivity, but I'd much rather be here than at the office, so I'm determined to make it work.  I do feel really awful for those of you who are struggling with bad weather.  It was in the 20s yesterday and I kept chastising people who were complaining about how cold it was.  Wimps!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good job on all the great workouts so far today.  A special shout-out to <strong>Theia</strong> on her intense exercise and good feelings.  ((((<strong>Amichel</strong>))))  Hopefully the headache goes away quickly!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great one!</p>
