Happy 2008!! The calendar says 2008, but the marathon training schedule says it's Tuesday, time for the Yasso 800 workout. So... Cindy and I went to bed early last night, got up this morning and headed to the town park for our version of a New Year's celebration. We did see some other folks along the way, including our neighbor from down the street who's still enjoying the pecan pie we baked for him on Christmas Eve. After the run we showered, woke the children, and all headed to Starbuck's in Baxter Village for breakfast. For the training record, let it be so noted that Cindy had a decaf soy milk vanilla latte with a slice of low fat cinnamon swirl coffee cake, and Evans had a decaf non-fat milk coffee, also with the low fat coffee cake.
While we were enjoying our breakfast, it occurred to me that our friends from Falmouth would be, at that moment, kicking off the annual Hangover Classic, a Falmouth Track Club event that consists of a 7-mile (sort of) run, brunch and various "awards". One of these years we're going to surprise them and actually show up. Nothing like a brisk run through the Sippewissett hills to get the blood pumping for the new year!
The next race (drum roll please) is the Mercedes Marathon in Birmingham, AL, February 10. We did this one last year. The course is quite challenging and while we may not beat our time from Marshall, we're hoping to get close. It will be good to see our McKinney clan, and John sure is looking forward to hooking up the XBox 360 to the huge HD television.
That's it for now.... we'll keep you updated on the training. I wish all a happy and prosperous new year!!
