I love lower temperatures for running.  But after yesterday's balmy, sunny afternoon; the wind and sleet and grey of today made me just want to stay in bed.  I had a hard time of it. My energy level was really low, my hams felt sore in the cold, and I hated getting pelted in the face by hail (?).  Or whatever hard snowflakes are called.  After I got the kids off to school I took a really warm bath, fell asleep, and then woke up, already half hour late for work (still in the tub).  Maybe one of these times I'll just drown in the tub like they keep promising.  Falling asleep in a warm bathtup sounds like a fine way to go.  Except that I would feel kind of bad for my cat, who likes to sit at the edge of the tub and wait because she  knows I'm going to feed her as soon as I'm done.  I'm working on becoming one of those sad old women who have a lot of cats.  Wonder why I'm so tired?  I have been really tired for about 2 months.

Oh Luz, you make me laugh!! I also love falling asleep in a warm tub, and would love to be an old cat lady - but my hubby HATES cats :( I'll have to wait until he's gone.

Nice run in the cold and snow - it's May...when are we going to get some nice warm morning weather and be done with the snow?!?

You must be tired from all your hard training. I'm not training that hard, and I fall asleep during every meeting I attend and tv show I watch.

It's true, the older I get the longer it takes to recover from those 3-4 really strenuous pre-marathon weeks/marathon. You're in the thick of that now, just winding down (Ogden right?) Winter training for Boston kicked my butt. Now, I need to maintain some core for UVM. P.S. way to represent the Dems there in Davis County. My aunt lives up there, and I just had to endure a really horribly politically charged famly dinner. Go Green!

I'm in full taper mode. I've got ants in my pants, and a stiff left calf I hope will settle down in the next week. Great work at Boston. Hopefully I'll BQ next Saturday. Sorry you had to endure a dinner like that. We usually get stuck talking about reality TV rather than politics.
