I'm not a fan of winter ... as a rule

... BUT ... This morning as I was riding on the bus between Kanata & Bells Corners, I stared out the window & thought "you know, that is very pretty". the trees with teh snow on the branches & the flakes falling gently through the air. The only thing that would have made it prettier would have been if I had seen a few deer in amongst the trees.

I have started the training for the May marathon her in Ottawa & most mornings I ache somewhere. Today it is one of my hamstrings. I have the heating pad on the opposing quad as I make this entry. Running in the snow & slush always leaves your legs and ankles sore but the `dreadmill` is no better. The only thing that even begins to make the treadmill at the gym possible is that you occasionally luck into having some really fine glutes on the other cardio equipment in front of you.

So I am running 48km total this week & it only goes up from here. I have to balance work, running, strenght training/gym-time, and Liz around the day-to-day responsibilities. And all I want to do is sleep ... But Just for a moment today ... winter looked pretty.
