Good Morning,

Have a good day.

Morning.
 
Woke up with a headache. I plan on gettting out later for a run. It has been at least 2 weeks since my last run.

Good morning. Good luck on your run, Todd. Last night Zoe slept the best she has slept since she was like 4 months old. Hopefully it was NOT a fluke! LOL. She is sleeping right now too. Very busy day at work, then not sure what the rest of the day holds. The weather will be really nice again, but it sucks that there is snow and ice still everywhere! Poor Zoe keeps looking out the window pointing at her swing, maybe i can shovel a path to it today.

eric,
Have a fun/busy day! (the C&H 'toon is SWEET!!!)
 
todd,
{{{hope the run goes well....at least it isn't frigidly nasty out there!}}}
 
 
The February thaw is officially in southern 'sconsin~~~> high temps from 28-42 this week.
Great for melting off ice 'n' snow, great for recess duty, but NASTY for snowshoein'
 
 
Today's goals: some sort of morning workout, assemble crockpot meal, get out to snowshoe before the game, do a variety of domestic chores, watch 'Sconnie beat the Buckeyes, possibly run some errands.
 
 
 
editorial rant:
 
Our new Governor, Scott Walker, is an asshat.
He is reason #2 as to why the Big Unit and I are retiring early.
 
I won't post his policies here....you can google them if you're so inclinded.
 
<if you are anti-union, you will love the man. If you're like the rest of us, DO NOT plan on moving to wisconsin anytime soon>

I know, I slept like poop, but I know it is hard to sleep after disrupted sleep for so long. Please pray this is a sign of things to come. Oh, and I just volunteered to pace at the NJ Half Marathon but am secretly hoping they have a marathon spot for me. I wanted to run the race, but it is wayyyy too pricey this year

Cross your fingers for me

wherestheportojohn · Feb 12, 2011

meri,
You always impress me with your running!
 
speaking of running~~~>
I managed 3 TM slogs (3-4 miles each) this week with only minimal foot issues. Woo! I'm going to attempt a fourth plod today or tomorrow. Woo!
Low mileage, of course.
Heck, 4 miles is like a marathon, 5 would be an ultra....but I'm slowly working back into it. <img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;">

Morning. Sitting here at work trying to get motivated.

jebba · Feb 12, 2011

Good morning! Sorry I haven't checked in for a couple of days.
 
I have a half marathon today at 11am. I am excited, but also resigned that I won't do as well as I was hoping when I started training a couple of months ago.
 
Remember how I mentioned my DD is learining about Matthew Henson for black history month? I'd never heard of him before, and he was a really interesting guy. When he was 13, he walked from DC to Baltimore by himself to get a job on a ship. He travelled all over the world. He started as Robert Peary's servant, but was his co-explorer by the time they discovered the North Pole. Of all the people in the expedition, he was the only one to actually learn to speak Inuit, and he even coined a word that the Inuit use today. DD and I have read a couple of books from the juvenile section of the library, but she's really eager to read his autobiography.
 
Porty- sorry about your bad governor. I live in Tennessee, so I know a little something about asshat politicians.

Good morning all.
Not much going on here, except for another cold. That makes for two so far this year.
Oh well, lots of hot tea and vitamin C.
Have a good one!
