Well I went on another trip, taking workout gear with me, and not getting in a single workout. Probably for the best, it gave some time for my ankle to heal. I had considered running yesterday, but on the way back from my brother's house we saw a body in a ditch there (cops were there), so I thought better of it.

Oh, and there won't be a 3-brother team at a marathon. My oldest brother is for it, but the other said, "Absolutely not." Truthfully, I forgot the Steamtown marathon was even happening on Sunday, I slept until 8:30. I caught some footage on the PM news, and those people just look crazy (and I'm sure I did too after the Phoenix one). sure I'll continue to run to keep in shape, and maybe do some 5k, 10k, maybe even 1/2 marathons. but when I climbed Mt Fuji some old Japanese guy told me, "Climb it once you are wise, twice a fool," and I kind of think that may also be the case for the marathon for me. Who knows; I did roll my Steamtown to next year, but I may just take it as a sunk cost and be done with it. I'm certainly not going to do crazy training like I was doing this year.

Anyway, made it to the gym today--

Then jumped in the pool, did 400 yards. It was nonstop, but I took the first 100 easy, then got some speed going, and the last 100 cooled down.

I was pleased with my treadmill...not sure if that speed was right, I worked up to a 7:56 min/mile pace. My goal was to just keep going, see how long I could take.

Tomorrow I'm planning to swim with the team in the morning, then gym after work...a longer run (3+ miles), then some PT-type stuff, pull-ups, and abs. (my youngest sister asked me how long I spend at the gym, and was shocked when I told her sometimes 2 hours).
