Why, hello there

I haven't updated this in a bit. I'm ramping up a touch to start the year, after a relatively quiet November and December running-wise. My son and daughter have both been pestering me to take them running so I'm making time for each. They run at different paces but surprisingly not that different (he's 15, she's 9) although I can't go near my son when he decides to sprint. He ran a 16 second 100 meters a few weeks back when we were goofing around at the local track. I figure with a bit of training he'll easily be under 20 for 5k before the year is up, probably sooner. She's just as agressive and has her own strong finishing kick. She'll run laps around the block with me and doesn't seem to get too tired. We're working towards getting her ready for her spring track and field day at school.

I said I'd be reluctant to run the Bay again this year, after last year's changes, but it's hard to resist a spring event like this one.

Winter is threatening to actually appear this year. -6 this morning, for a brief jog back from Crappy Tire to get a tire fixed.
