1. Even if the hog sees his shadow today and it means six more weeks of winter, I am A-OK with that as it’s been so mild this year, I feel like winter hasn’t even started!

2. On this day last year, Chi-Town had a blizzard. Wow that was fun. But mild and snowless is fun too, just saying.
3. I ran exactly 100 miles in January. This was totally random and unplanned as I haven’t been on any training plan to speak of. I just run whatever I feel like and haven’t even looked at my total numbers until yesterday.
4. I’ve been running crappily (weak, winded, slow) for some time now so in January I began tracking my strong vs suckfest runs to see if I could solve the mystery. Seems for the most part my strong and sucky runs alternate, which leads me to the conclusion that I need more recovery time. But I only run 3 days a week. This could be a problem. Help! Any insight on this?
5. I need to think long and hard about signing up for Marine Corps Marathon next month. I can’t think of too many things less appealing than running poorly during marathon training. Blech. Have you committed to any marathons this year?
6. Thanks so much to all of you who stopped by yesterday with well wishes for my dad. This is such a caring, supportive community, I appreciate your words more than you know. His surgery is done and he is doing well…in pain and complaining…but doing well. It’s amazing to me that pretty much all of you who commented have loved ones that do not lead their healthiest life. I guess the statistics speak for themselves
