Apparently, mother nature called upon old man winter to stick it to us yet again! There's no way I'll hold my breath to this being the last mess to deal w/either. I recall a slushy run in mid-April last year w/Gregg that happened to be a pretty good one for the both of us. I don't mind really as this is my recovery week. By the end of this block in training I'll transfer my chicken scratch on paper before it's lost. Nothing exciting thus far in terms of numbers but solid though. I'm cutting back on the strength routine, bike, and run this week but will let myself go in the pool. Swimming has been great for my morale as it has been a long time since I've found a hobby that I can see gradual improvements in each session. I started out w/pull buoys for the majority and have weened off them completely now. I found at the beginning my kick was out of control and the arm stroke needed to be more involved. A kickboard might be used in the future for additional laps between front crawl.
On a note that isn't laughing matter(I suppose it could be depending on what angle you take) I gave my $$ to the director of the Eau Claire Marathon. This has been difficult figuring out an event to do prior to EROCK. It works good too, my dad's birthday is the Saturday before the race so we'll have lunch in Stillwater and then I'll stay w/Tony Meyers in Hudson.
