I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much.

And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

AM- It's been cold all week in Logan, with morning temps in the single digits. This morning was 2 deg, windchill of -6. Brrr. 6 easy miles.

Both my girls have been sick this week with fevers, coughs, and runny noses. I woke up yesterday with a sore throat and it is worse today. If I get sick again I will be very put off!

You have to love our little in house incubators. All I can say is lots of water and any sleep you can get. Good luck.

Adam- I hear it gets even better once the kids are in preschool/elementary school. Lots of colds, etc.

I feel your pain with the cold, just over the mtn. in Eden 0 yesterday and 2 degrees today, I am impressed you get out and run in it. if it is below 15 degrees I can't do it, tooo cold!

Great run in such cold temps. I hope the sick bug stays away from you. I had the sore throat as well all week except it's gone today.

Your going to have a great year, because your training when your healthy and not being careless like me and running when you shouldn't be. Keep up the consistent running and you will blow by your previous times.

I noticed you wanted to run the NY marathon this year. That originally was one of my goals this year as well. But not sure now.

Take care Jon, and I hope your kids get better.

Kory- I have toyed with NYC marathon. I found out recently that it costs $217 to register, though, so I am now doubtful. I oppose paying that much.

From RivertonPaul on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 14:24:17 from 67.42.27.114

BRR. And $217, that's like 200 pairs of your green shorts.

From Jon on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 14:38:33 from 138.64.2.78

Nah, they were free! But wait, are you saying they look cheap?!?

From paul on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 14:48:16 from 65.103.252.214

Too cold old for me. I've been angry the last few days about the weather. Angry at the world. It should not be this cold right now. I'M TICKED!! I'm just waiting for Obama to do something about it.

Bummer about everyone being sick. Seth has yet to get the first illness of his young life, and I figure I'm on borrowed time.

From Jon on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 15:38:54 from 138.64.2.78

Paul, I can tell you have been in California- you've gotten soft about cold weather and you complain. We need to frolick outside naked to get you re-adjusted. But Obama is trying to stop global warming, so you should want him to not do anything. Global warming will make Logan warmer, right?

Bring him over to our house and my daughters can help him out in that area. Better to get a bunch of small colds when young then not have immunity when old.

From wheakory on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 16:40:20 from 134.50.89.33

Ya NY Marathon is expensive too. That was my concern as well. I'm wondering if you run for a charity if you get a discount.

Were you planning on going by yourself?

Jon I think when your done with those green shorts you should frame them. :-)

What do you think about the situation with the new Denver Broncos coach and Culter? I think Cutler is going to be traded before the start of the year?

From Jon on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 22:03:04 from 75.169.155.209

I hope Cutler doesn't get traded.
