I wimped out of my bike ride this morning due to the cold weather that came in. I have cold weather clothing on order, so this excuse won't work many more weeks. I now plan to run instead. This is perfect running weather. No clouds and about 50 degrees...actually will be closer to 70 by the time I go, but that will be good too.

Didn't find the artwork that I was looking for so I decided to go to Bed, Bath & Beyond...I can always spend some money in there, and did. Then it was off to the liquor store to replenish the wine collection.
Scheduled off day from training.
Happy Friday peeps!

1st mile with Champ last 2+ with Nano.
"American Girl" by Tom Petty has to be the best running song there is....no way not to be happy when that tune comes on....also a good pacing song too, although I seem to pick up the pace a bit always.

Not much to the short and easy ride on the CT, but I guess you have to start somewhere. First ride (of any kind) since the hospital stint.
Got a copy of my hospital records today, and after reading through all 32 pages worth there was one word that kept recurring and now it really has begun to scare me, because it was something that I controlled and I thought I knew better. Hyponatremia. Every endurance athlete should read up on this if they haven't already. Yes, you can over-hydrate...yes it can cause some serious problems, which for the most part I had all the symptons except for that coma/death part. I don't think this was the entire problem, but did I weaken my body to an extremely low level in which the immune system was not able to keep up....I am beginning to think so. I go back to the doctor on Friday and again on the 26th, guess I will get more info then. Some seriously scary shiznit, that evidently I F'd up while having fun training.
Well, the rumors are out there for a August 2007 race.....yeah, I would sign up...cuz I am dumb like that. Actually, Louisville would be a great locale to have a race...and it is a short drive for me! Ok, who's joining me???
