Bit of a dissappointment today. Snowed in and snow's now turning to freezing rain. Called the gym to check out their status...gym is shut down for the day. Tempted to go outside, but 4 people now in my family are vomiting with some sort of stomach bug. It's probably best I stick around the house (mom is sick too).

This disrupts my running plan for the day/week, but it is what it is. Tomorrow our new treadmill will be delivered, so this will not be a future issue. I'll have to settle for a 60 mile week, but that's ok. My plan for next week's recovery week will be shifted to this week.

I plan to do an hour's worth of sit-up/push-ups while watching b-ball tonight (and cleaning vomit).

Sorry about the weather and the sickness in the family. Sometimes a break can be a good thing. You have been working real hard so one day is not going to set you back any. It might just make you stronger for upcoming workouts.

We got blasted pretty good as well. I will probably be on the treadmill for a few days. Hope the family gets to feeling better.

I hope your family gets well soon. Don't be hard on yourself. 60 miles is a solid week in light of all other responsibilities.

thanks guys...it's been a trying week, but I still feel quite blessed.
