<p>Morning....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Its freaking snowing here, again! Whats really going on?! About 3" on the ground already... I thought this was supposed to be the Mid-<strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">SOUTH</span></em></strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looks like another TM day.  Maybe 4 miles.</p>

<p>That sucks BBS.  Been a weird weather year everywhere in the US I think.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No precipitation here (2 days in a row).  Bit on the cold side, but still conducive for a relaxing 7 miler.  Now back to studying for my massive final this Thursday.  At the rate I'm going, I'll know the material but sleep through the exam.</p>

<p>Yep.  Snow here, too.  Well, it's that miserable drizzly frozen ice ball/occasional pathetic attempt at a snow flake.  Just not feeling it this morning.  Had planned on my 5.5m route.  Had to settle for a short 3.  Bleck.  Depression sucks.</p>

<p>nice job this morning on the running.  Nothing for me today.  My foot still hurts and maybe some stretching and such will help that out.  Have a great morning everyone.</p>

<p>Morning folks,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No snow here just rain. Still warm, around 60. Cold front comes in behind the storm tomorrow but it will be like MBH's Kentucky weather, clear and dry.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Actually got up stupid early this morning and hit the fishbowl. Turns out there's a swim training group that meets up 3 days a week for an hour at the nearby rec center. They even have a coach! My former co-worker (and still training buddy) had been lobbying me for a while to give it a try. He even offered to pick me up, so I finally gave in this morning. I have to say it was pretty cool. As a novice swimmer I'm so used to just slogging along for 30-45 minutes, but this workout had real structure to it and even though I'm slow as hell, the hour flew by and I got a great workout.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I may not do 3 days a week but 2 days seems reasonable -- I'm going to give it another shot on Friday morning but I told my buddy I think I'm in for doing this at least throughout the winter months.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, 1400 yards for me today in 49 minutes or so of actual swim time (including short rests between sprints - I didn't bother stopping my watch).  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - enjoy watching that snow fall while you're on the belt.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>MBH - your planned run today sounds exactly my planned run tomorrow - 7 in the chill</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4BM - sorry about the blues but hopefully the run helped a little</p>
<p> </p>
<p>kevin - smart move to listen to the body</p>

<p>Hawk-  That is a very nice workout in the pool. </p>
<p> </p>

<p>I didn't sleep well so didn't make it out of bed to either run (freeze) outside or hit the gym.  Now I'm too lazy to run at lunch; however will likely hit up the indoor track with my buddy this evening.  5* 1k.  Should be interesting.  I wonder how many walkers in the running lane will get stiff armed?</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong> - looks like we not only owned your HM but we also gave you our weather.  Enjoy the TM.</p>
<p><strong>Mailbox</strong> - nice job on the studious 7.  Hope the exam goes just as smoothly.</p>
<p><strong>Hawk</strong> - great cross-training opportunity!  You'll be joining <strong>Chances</strong> as another convert to the triathlon...</p>
<p><strong>4boysmom</strong> - bummer.  Make a snowman.</p>
<p><strong>kfuller</strong> - I wish I was as smart as you... sadly I'm driven to run when I shouldn't.  I need a program.</p>
