trails of the ice age.

i ran on the ice age trail last night. while i don't feel faster than i was 10 weeks ago when i started running again, i really think i am getting faster. if not faster than for sure stronger, which is more important at this point in the game. assuming i hit my mileage goals for the next 3 days, i will be in the forties for weekly mileage for the first time since 1997. i'm still a long way from where i need to be, but for some reason 40 has a milestone feel to it (i'm celebrating with a starbucks coffee...wait...i do that most fridays).

it's snowing here, but we aren't going to be getting much more than a dusting. a 30 minute drive to the southeast gets you right into snow country though. poor suckers.

last night robin and i were listening to some of the music we are getting excited about lately. new bands (to us), old bands with new music. check them out if you get a chance: detholz, someone still loves you boris yeltsin, tokyo police club, the shins (new single 'phantom limb'), matt costa...ah yes, music can still get us excited, which i think is good.
