Spring is Here Again

This was supposed to go up last night, but blogger decided to eat the post. Twice. Grrrr. I'll try to remember what I discussed. Anyways, I should just bomb the blogosphere.

So spring has decided to arrive. Yesterday there were blue skies, in the 60s, and I was able to run in shorts & a sleeveless-T. Let's just hope we see no more snow...of course last year we got dumped on something like the 3rd or 4th weekend in April.

My buddy Tom has a blog. It's not that exciting, but he's a law student, so what do you expect?

I was in the shoe lab talking with some folks the other day about my plans for Boston (17 days out!!). The question came up about which shoes I'm going to run in. I made the comment that I have no shortage of shoes to choose from, but I think I'll be going with my Brooks Axioms. I then commented about how back in my swimming days our coach (tdc3 ya'll) always told us to put our suits, goggles, etc in our carry-on luggage in the event that our other luggage gets lost. Our IT guy pipped in that his XC coach said the same thing -- pack your uniform and spikes in your carry-on. I got a bit of a kick out of that.

In other swimming-related things...over spring break the OFOMOL and I decided to spend a couple of days in Canada. My parents had sent my birth certificate so I could travel to and from the country. Due to inefficiencies in the US Postal system our departure was delayed and I had doubts about whether we would be going or not. In my gloom, she offered up this nugget of wisdom: "what is it you always say? suck on the good."

Thats rule #1 in rugby - cleats, mouth guard and shorts, in the carry-on. some people are required to carry a ball in their carry on too. Guess the suduko deluxe had to be checked for lack of space.

Why dont you change your shoes every mile, just to show those cheap one-pair-of-shoes suckers how its REALLY done?
