So Friday night I got out and got a workout in.  It was my 5K in a bottle workout.  It goes like this

1200 m with 3 min recovery  (3:44)

1000 m with 2 min recovery  (3:04)

800 m with 1 min recovvery  (2:26)

400 m (1:06)

Total 5K time 15:23

Not bad.  Then Saturday we met my parents at one of the nearby state parks for the night (the have an old fashion Inn).  So Saturday my wife and i ran at the park when we first got there and let me tell you it was HILLY.  Yesterday was a rain soaked on and off storms day.  My long run got cut to 10 because of the storms, which actaully works out ok since this week is shaping up to be a repeat of last week.  I have to rush though a workout tonight before heading to the Wabash Valley All Sports Awards banquet.  ( there are 21 high schools included) Our top girl got both the track and cross country (girls) award.  Tomorrow and Thursday are the girls and boys sectionals respectively.  So It's going to be a busy week again this week.  I guess I wouldn't really have it any other way.  I'd rather be doing the things i'm doing than setting around doing nothing.

Best wishes.

The last couple weeks have been IN-SANE.  Good news it that by Easter it should all be over.  I'm the chair of the fish fry committee at church.  Only problem the other 4 members are 1.  In Florida for a month 2. Retiring from everything and can't help (which I find out 6 weeks before the event) 3.  Leaving the country on a mission trip.  Hun...I guess Green Day said it best when they said "I was all by myself."  I'll getting the early stuff done and Patty will be back in a couple weeks but it was kind of sprung on me.  The weather has been crap but I'm mudling through and the next few days look to be a bit of a break.  (40's are a god sent this time of year)  My brother is getting married on Saturday so the next couple days will be all over the map.  I have the best wedding gift idea ever but I can't get it for another month so they'll just be getting a card this weekend.  (I'm really happy for my brother Melissa is a great girl, she's one of the truely good people.)  I had a great workout on Tuesday, despite the snow and the training is going well.  After that I have the Bowl for Kids Sake for Big Bothers Big Sisters on March and then the Bar Stool Open for UCP on the 8th so the next couple weeks don't look to be any less busy.  Anyway here's the training for this week so far.
