Things are getting better with training. That nagging knee tightness that seems to hit on the treadmill after 45 minutes has abated. One thing I'm starting to do is to diversify pace and hills even more when running on the TM. Today for example, I started at 10:00/mile, worked up to 8:10/mile during the first 4 miles. After that, I did a kind of tempo run, going from 7:30 to 6:50 pace up a 3% grade for three miles. The steady hill adds intensity to MP runs so they don't feel harried on the TM as a 6:30 flat TM run often does. Easier on the legs and back as well.

They are still showing that annoying Cialis commercial where the 40ish couple lie to their poor parents so they can get nasty together (see Dec.).

The Pack lost what seemed to be the longest, most advertised game in playoff history. I mean, come on. One play...Driver's slow getting up--commercial...next play...official review of the catch...commercial...I no longer cared who won at hour four.

But hey! Those Badgers male hoopsters are up to 11 in the polls. Nice for future seading at the NCAAs.

It was -26 this morning and my car wouldn't start. But once it "warmed up" to 3F, I got it to start, then drove aimlessly around to rev up the battery. You gotta love the weather up here...
