Back to the Midwest

Spring is definitely not here yet in the good ol' Midwest. The temperature today is in the low 40's and rain has made it a better day to run inside than out. At least I enjoyed a few runs outdoors this week in Austin. Watched two more first season episodes of BSG while running 9 miles on the treadmill today. I guess this is the way I'll work my way through the series again unless the weather improves. Fortunately the forecast shows temps closer to 70 degrees this coming week.

At this point I'm definitely shooting for a half-marathon on May 16th in Leavenworth. Since I didn't get any speedwork in this past week I need to concentrate on that in the coming weeks. I won't say I've been lazy as far as other exercises go lately, but the truth is I've averaged about once a week with my dumbbells routine. I need to improve that, too. As I've learned over the years just those simple routines I do make quite a difference come race day.
