Given how nippy it's been lately, I would go with a baselayer if I were walking a 1/2 marathon. But that's me. I'm a bit of a cold wimp these days.

Looking forward to surgery for time off, hmm... it that familiar! I remember once after a vacation about 8 years ago, returning to work and thinking about having another baby. For some reason, I really wanted another kid right then. So I stepped back and analyzed what was behind that, and I realized I just really wanted more time off work. I changed employers shortly thereafter.

Here's hoping the surgery goes well and the time off work is restful. I will try to see you next week!
