     Much warmer this morning at 18 deg. I ran 4 miles in the snow which kept the pace slow at 9:03.

     Went 15 miles on my bike and it was pretty slow going also.

     My lingering injuries seem to all be doing quite well. I feel like I'm ready to begin a good training cycle for a fast half mar.  Problem is I only have until next week. I did get in a good tempo last week and hope to get one more in this week if I can find a non snow and ice covered stretch of road. Oh well, I guess I'll just go down and have fun and not push too hard or worry to much about my time.

Maybe I already asked you this, but are you coming down to Painter's? If so, we'll see you there. Hopefully the weather will be good so you can have a nice break from the snow.

I got signed up last week and my wife booked rooms for 2 nights so it looks like we'll see you there. Some good weather would be great.
