It was definitely a blue Monday in Indianapolis today after the Colts lost last night in the Super Bowl.  I had a bad feeling about it.  They have been surviving with a beat up secondary for awhile and I knew it would eventually come back and bite us.  Drew Brees really showed our weaknesses.  The on-side kick at the start of the second half was a huge turning point and might have been the difference in the game.  Now that I got that off my chest.....

It was cold today (19) with some light wind but the sun was out (I ran during lunch) so it felt much warmer. The roads were still in bad shape so I just ran around my neighborhood (8 laps) to keep off of the roads and not get run over.  I felt good today and the running seemed easy.  This is good considering the 20 miler on the TM on Sat.  More snow coming this week and some travel so I hope I can stay on schedule.

Nothing like a good solid run to take you mind off the loss. I was pulling for Indianapolis, I think Tony Dungy is a great guy and I'm still mad at Tampa for firing him (I guess I should get over that eventually)

Tony Dungy is a great guy and really was good to have him around here as the coach. He did really miss on the Super Bowl prediction. He said the Colts would win easily!
