"Twenty-One"

That's a good number.  Despite fact that the real crappy weather didn't materialize til later in the day, it was quite cold, and the wind was nasty.  And despite some glorious sunshine I decided pretty early on that an abbreviated session would be the call for the day.

I did however feel pretty damn good and managed a brisk half marathon in 1:45, good for just under 5 min kms.  I am totally happy with that effort.

Tonite I'm tired though.  Running in the cold just knocks your socks off.  All I had energy left for was to sign up for the Detroit marathon in October. I know that seems awful early but the price continues to climb as the year goes on, so I just chose to get it done.  It's gonna be a special race for me as it will be the 20th anniversary of my first ever marathon.  This may make you laugh, but I'm gonna try to beat my 1993 time.  I think I can do it!!

On the flip side I have still not decided if I will enter the Waterloo marathon in April.  Old John is apparently gonna do the half there so I may just settle for that.  Nah....probably not....  Unlike Detroit I don't have to worry about it selling out so I can procrastinate that decision for a few weeks yet.  I may in fact wait til after the 30k Bay Race which is 5 weeks from today.

And lastly....tomorrow is the 18th.  Exactly 6 months til D-day, and I think I'm on track.

....and this one sounds a bit cocky but I like it so too bad...
