sickly

4 day weekend in the books. calvin, already fighting off an ear infection, now has a virus of some sort. he is spiking a pretty solid fever and doesn't like sleeping at night. we are tired of being tired. cue the smart ass "you better get used to it" comments...that is like nails on a chalk board to my ears. people (in general) need new material.

i did manage to get a nice 1:10 trail run in on sunday. there is a pretty long coninuous segment of the ice age trail that runs right by my house out through verona and further. it is a pretty good run with tons of undulations. robin picked me up at the end...maybe some day i'll be able to do the full out and back. i wouldn't have wanted to on sunday though...it was 90 degress when i finished.

i was going to do the madison marathon until calvin fell ill this past february. i guess i should apologize to all the competitors this year...seems any marathon i even think about signing up for is destined to be a hot one. i've been toying with the idea of targeting the eau claire marathon in may 2011 for my next attempt. but, it seems that these days if i plan something in advance i'm ultimately unable to participate. i know 3 hours for a marathon is as arbitrary as any number...but i really want to beat it someday. hmm.

happy wednesday.
