* I stepped on the scale today, 172lbs. Ouch, considering I weighed 157lbs at the end of November, that's some serious holiday weight. Time to kick it into gear.
* Was planning on running Ralston Half Marathon yesterday, drove to the race and then remembered that I was taking my son to Monster Jam and

* I went to sign up for the Chicago Marathon today, then realized I already had plans that weekend at the last minute. I then thought about the Twin Cities Marathon, but this year Chicago and TC are on the same weekend. I guess I need to find an alternative, but those two were

In the past my marathon had been my best race of the year, I had peaked at the right time and always seemed to rise to the occasion.
