Friday Quote

A simple quote for a wintry Friday:

"May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house."
-George Carlin

Still Frosty Cold

The snow and cold continues, which means I continue to run on the dreadmill. I am doing "OK" with it, but I struggle to run more than 35 minutes at a time. And I worry about how my shins will feel once I go back to pavement. In other words, I am missing the great outdoors and definitely have a case of cabin fever.

But despite the dread factor of the dreadmill, I have managed to squeek in two days of speed work. Speed work is NOT my favorite thing. My workouts are not even all that speedy by most people's standards. But at least the change in pace does help to keep me entertained. I suspect if I were someone who enjoyed watching tv that time on the dreadmill might not be so challenging, but I am just not much of a tv watcher. (Though admittedly, I do better at M's house since I can flip channels; in the gym, the programs are set by the staff.)

With any kind of luck, we'll see a slight warm-up this weekend. In the meantime, these are things I'm looking foward to:

• Valentine's Day
• Fat Tuesday (just because I like the name!)
• St. Patrick's Day Run (March 13)
• March Hoops
• Cardinals Baseball
