I was headed out the door for a run this morning for a run when my good amigo, Steve Anderson, called. Said he was going to be in town this afternoon and wanted to run. So I'm meeting him at Liberty Park at 3:30.

So I went to the gym for some cross training and to put my totally out of control 7 year old in the kid's club for a while to get him out of Ann's hair for a couple hours.

Did basically a StairMaster tempo "run". 300 floors in 38:30 which is apparently 6.25 miles. This was hard. Weighed myself after - 156 pounds! About 10 pounds over racing weight.

After showering I bumped into Fritz on the same machine I had been using. Always nice to chat with Mr. Van de Kamp.

PM: 4.25 GRUELING MILES around Liberty Park with Steve. Plowed through the snow at about 9 minute pace.
