Denise! You are an iron-trainer! I hope you notice my new signature line--I was listening to that song while running, and put it up here in your honor.

It snowed here today--beautiful, wet, clean snow. It'll be gone by tomorrow afternoon. I'm going for a not-too-long run tomorrow AM with a friend. I've got my Nordic shoes, which have turned out to be great for running in the snow. Waterproof, with good treads.

Not that I know anything about it, but it makes sense to me not to run more than 3 hr at a pop in training. You're going to push through it at the race--it's not like you're going to say, "Oh, I'm at mile 21. I can't run any farther than this!" So honor your body, and listen to smart people who know.

I am not going to be able to come and cheer for you in person--just can't find anyone who can switch with me for that call shift. So, in between birthin' babies, I'll be checking in on you on the computer!

Keep it up girl, the taper is coming L.
