Ski all day

 No running today.  No resistance training today.   A day off?  Not a chance!  We skied bumps all day long and boy did we burn some calories.  

Variety is the spice of life and of fitness.  Go for it.

11.5 miles

11.5 miles this morning. 100 minutes. About a minute/mile off my intended race pace.  Started doing speed & hill work.  Felt pretty strong.  8 weeks & 1 day to go.  The Scarecrow & The Cadaver will be ready.

No wonder we're so fat!

Good news

Kidney sonogram today.   Looks good.  Whatever the problem was it's gotten smaller.   Wants to see me in a year.  No restrictions.  

I had to fast for the sonogram.  I am unused to fasting (to say the least).  I got weak driving to the hospital.  It's amazing how important breakfast is to me.  So many people habitually skip breakfast.  Makes me wonder.
