Catching up

I've just been continuing with the usual 30 minute swims and 5-6 mile runs. Been doing a few 7 mile interval runs with Run Club on wednesdays.

Last Thursday we had Chris Bergland come speak to run club. Chris is my old boss from JackRabbit. The group really seemed to receive him well, and I think the event went great. People were intrigued. It was good to see Chris and to catch up.

The biggest recent news is that I'm very likely going out to Badwater this year to help crew and pace for Pam Reed. One of our runners, who I talk to quite a bit due to a Texas connection, was Pam's book agent for "The Extra Mile" and crewed for her last year. It was mentioned that Pam was possibly looking for crew for this year if I was interested. Well, I am/was. Information was exchanged and Pam called me the next day.

I went XC Skiing and Snowshoeing at saturday, which was nice cross-training. I ended up with some weird illness that struck mid-day saturday and led to almost uncontrollable shivering, fever, and aching pains for most of saturday night. I woke up yesterday feeling fairly normal, so I'm not sure what it was. However, it caused me to miss an opportunity to go snowboarding yesterday.
