Pretty good day, though I was tired. It's always an adjustment to sleep with Chels after a long time of not doing so. Also, my allergy shot made me congested overnight. Oh well...

She got up super-early to go to Portland, which also blew. But it gave me time to get ready and to work early.

Pretty good day at work - went by fast. After work I worked on an online gait analysis, then went home to eat a little, then suited up for skating.

Skated a good :40, and felt great! Working on my cross-over skating and R turns. The true reason going R and stopping on my R are bad is because I inwardly angle my skate too much on that foot - FINALLY realized that tonight. It was pretty busy there by 7:45, but it was fun to weave in and out of folks.

Still don't quite feel ready to run. My 2-miler on Sat SUCKED (mostly due to the cold), but I didn't feel good, in general. I just don't feel like rushing it. It's like taking 2 minutes in an Aid Station: there's "pressure" to "go-go-go!", but inside me there's implicit knowledge that being patient now will pay off in a lot more than "two minutes" down the road.

Went to the social part of the hunt afterward. Good times, but it's time for me to start running with them.
