The weather has been above freezing. Work hasn't been too demanding. Consequently, I finally had a decent running week more reminiscent of last summer than the relatively lax schedule of the past couple of months. It was even well into the 40s on Friday--spring really is around the corner, which has given me some new motivation. I noticed several new faces out running around our neighborhood this weekend. Where were all of you this winter? :)
So, here's my resolution. I'm running to and from work this Wednesday. It's a little over 8 miles each way, I don't have any particularly early or late meetings, and there is even a shower at the recreation center that I can use. It seems that all the pieces are in place. I actually did this a few times back when I was living in East Lansing. I alternated between running one way and biking the other way. If you have time and the opportunity it is a nice way to get your running in and to decompress from a day at work. If things go well, perhaps this will become a regular occurrence. Right now, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and most Fridays are good running days thanks to an evening teach schedule and a 2 year old (almost) who prefers 2 hour naps in his jogging stroller to sleeping in his crib. Mondays and Wednesdays my schedule is hindered by this thing called work. If I could slip in a 16 mile run on one of those days, I would be a really solid base to start training for the 100 miler once summer comes.
If you are interested in running to work, here's some information on it.
On a complete side note, Sandi I got your wedding invitation and Holli and I agreed that it was one of the coolest invitations that we have ever seen.

If I didn't have to be @ work by 7 am, and drop off kids, I would love to commute to work. During the summer, when there are no kids in school, I have run (one way) or biked (roundtrip) the 19 miles. It is a great way to start your day!
Sounds like a great plan. Commuting a few days a week will really build a strong base. I know what you mean about the new faces, too. After slogging through the slush in January and February, including a twenty miler in the blizzard last weekend, it's frustrating to see people emerging from their winter hibernation. At least we'll be in better shape than them, eh?
If I didn't commute from Detroit to Ann Arbor, this would be great! 70 miles round trip... Sounds like a sweet way to prep for the 100. Good luck with everything.
I'm glad it made it to you in one piece & that you like it!
I had fun putting them together. It's amazing how much fun you can have with a flame and melted wax.
Hoping you can come visit so I can meet little Elliott & Holli!
