Today we had the start of our first big winter storm of the year. My buddy and I decided to cancel our run, so there you have it, my first DNRBOW (did not run because of weather) or TDCTR (too damn cold to run). It was a good thing I didn’t run as I was pooped after working outside preparing for the storm, cleaning gutters, blowing out hoses, etc. But ready now as soon as I add an extra blanket.

Yesterday I ran into a guy who teaches Chi Running in Oregon; Keith McConnell, PhD of Eugene. I met him when I recommended a Chi Running book to a woman he was with. She had been talking about running injury free. When she saw which book I was pointing at, she laughed and told me about that Keith was a Chi Running instructor. They both had run in the Seattle Marathon; her in the half and him in the marathon walk. I think it would be great to take classes from him. They are also both aiming for the Eugene Marathon in May, which puts a thought in my head. It would be a good time frame to train for it. I would love to do under four hours.
