1.) Happy birthday today to my wonderful 11 year old daughter KZ!
2.) I do need to get out a few of the Jay Johnson Running DVD's. I thought I'd get them out before the Christmas holiday - I just let that task get away from me. Matt, Sunny, Lucho, James/Beth, Phil - yers are coming. JV, Kerrie - let me know what you think of yours. I just started watching the volume 2 DVD (and other than being reminded that I need to get back to vol 1!) I am again impressed.
3.) I re-read all of my January entries from '08. That is why I keep this blog (in part) but I don't do a review of what I did as often as I like. In reviewing it, I am forced to ask myself what am I really changing? Core? Diet? Volume? Speed? ... one of the best entries is with advice from Galen. This is clear ... January is where things begun to become unravelled with my hernia issue. If I don't have that as an interuption, then by definition, my training is changing. But other than that - should I expect markedly different results with the same approach to my training?
4.) Got in four miles at the end of the day (37 min) ... dark. Windy. Cold. Tired from skiing. While skiing today, I was in a lift line and I slipped backwards. My legs separated farther and farther and farther back until I was almost in a full split. JZ asked me ... "why are you doing that Dad?" It looked like I was doing some funky stretch, which I was but not on purpose. I thought my legs were going to just rip off. Ouch. I managed to eventually get out of it.
5.) An interview with Mountain running legend John Wyatt
