Update

I have been busy at work and have not had the opportunity to post over the last week. I spent 2 day in Louisville doing ergonomic assessments at one of our facilities. Nothing too exciting but it is one of the ways I earn my keep.

On the training front I started back with my resistance training. I have my routine broken down into 3 parts: Chest and back, arms and shoulders, and legs.

I am still keeping up with my morning runs and evening 2 hour elliptical trainer workouts too. Last Friday, there was a minor ice storm so I stayed inside and did a 99 minute Stairmaster workout.

I plan to run long tomorrow and skip the evening workout so I can attend to some matters on the home front.

40 Days to Umstead! I am starting to get the pre race nerves already. Yesterday, I spent way too much on the Hammer, Newton Running and Zombie Runner websites. I know that you can’t buy performance but somehow I feel better surrounded by more and more crap!

It appears that the desire for self destruction is contagious. Coach and Ma Snail are committed to doing the Running with the Devil race in June. They even went as far as reserving a room at the happiest place on earth – Hooters Hotel and Casino. Surely, more Snails will follow.
