Had the day off, so took my older boy to the local State Park. Tried fishing -- no luck (not for us, lots of luck for the fish), then used my Garmin 305 to find some geocaches on some of the trails in the park. By the time we hiked the 4 miles, my soon-to-be 7 year-old was worn out. It was a fun day, and a nice recovery, cross-training trip.

Took a vacation day today. (If I don't use a few days by the end of January, I lose them). Helped take my youngest son to the doctor (been having asthma issues -- lots of coughing). He has an ear infection, asthma, and possibly a sinus infection -- poor little guy. Had chest X-ray -- no pneumonia. Glad for that. Changed the oil in my car to get ready for my roadtrip to Austin this weekend for the 3M Half Marathon. (about 230 miles each way).

Beautiful day outside. 71F, Windy (20-25 S), partly cloudy

Ran at about 3PM.

AP: 7:48, HR: 152

8:06, 8:11, 8:08,8:06,7:17,6:59 (you can tell I had the wind behind me on the way back)

Good luck to all my friends running races this weekend!
