brrrrr.... happy new year

It's been an eventful few days. Los Heenans de Milwaukee came to visit and we played tourist for 24 hours, which is pretty damn fun. We somehow fit in Handlebar, Southport Bowl, Big Star, Map Room, TMLMTBGB, Wishbone, Wicker Park shopping, and more. Dizzying. (ps- if you haven't seen TMLMTBGB yet, it really is completely hilarious.)

I missed the Saturday trainer class because of it. I'm starting to think signing up for that every Wed and Sat class was a mistake- my schedule just isn't very forgiving. But any time on the saddle is a plus and will pay of fin the spring, I hope.

This morning was 9. I ran it hungry, and it was sub-zero windchill, and it was sort of a sufferfest. The rewards are always worth it though, and I run focused on my post-run long, hot bath, a meal of rice and beans, and an afternoon on the couch with Molly. She's sleeping right there ->.
