Is It January 14 Yet?

You are a Houston runner when your anticipation focuses more on January 14 than December 25. Yesterday I joined Coach Steeeve and his band of SMARTies at Terry Hershey Park. 1.5 mile pre-warmup, masochistic core exercises, 2 mile warm-up, Monty Python silly walks, 5 x 3 min speed intervals with 3 min recovery, 1.5 mile cool down, Charcoal Chicken birthday party, long drive home, sleep, long drive back to work, Venti, Non-Fat Chai Latte, and so on.....The intervals were super duper, I love speedwork. They certainly shook the 30k cobwebs out. I thought I might have overdone it but no, I feel fine today. My core is talking to me. I've been neglecting my yoga, which means my core has been ignored.

I'm just tickled you picked up on the Monty Python reference, it escapes most. Must be a generational thing (although we have of course established you be much younger than I). Seriously, great having you out, Tuesday/Thursday next week, same time and place.
