Brief Hiatus

As you may have noticed, I haven't updated in a few weeks.  Don't worry, that doesn't mean that I haven't been neglecting my training (much).  Truth is, a lot has happened since the last post, but most of it is somewhat mundane.  

I've missed the last two long runs.  3 weeks ago the run was cancelled due to the world ending in Boston.  Or at least what passes for world ending around here.  Starting the Friday afternoon before the run we got about 12" of snow, the threat of which is enough to close schools across the region, and yes that meant Molly had a half-day.  It also meant that I had a break from running in all that stuff too.  Sadly that "break" extended into the next week since we got a second round of snow the following Monday.  

After that was the chaos of family and travel that is the week of Christmas.  Between the two of us we had all the planes, trains and automobiles that either of us could want.  Rochester had at least twice the snow that Boston had, and when it wasn't cold and snowy it was raining.  That week was a bust as far as running goes.  Plus there was eating, sweet sweet eating.  

I've run twice this week and I think I'm ready for tomorrow's 10.5 miles.  I better be since we're running a big chunk of the course for the first time.  A chunk including Heartbreak Hill.  Dun-dun-dun!
