the cup got bigger

Hey man, hows it going?
So check this out. More cowbell anyone? Pretty awesome, right? Its a long enough way off that I'm confidant I can brazen it out. And there is nothing like a looming race to give meaning to your workouts. I'm looking at the 25k rather than the 50. 30 miles is just a little more punishment than I can take, even on trails.
Had a great 3-miles this morning at the gym on the treadmill. Having an ipod really can make a difference if you get bored easily on a treadmill, or so I've found. Generally 3 miles is at the upper limit of what I am willing to do indoors on a treadmill, but I felt jazzed enough about it I probably could have hung in there for another mile or so. It was nice. Very invigorating. As is the air here lately: highs in the teens today, with a windchill bringing the feel down closer to zer0. So I think I may be stuck in the gym for a while yet. But the cow bell calls! Yea-hah!
