I have been running, though not posting much about it.  There really hasn't been anything much out of the ordinary.  I ran in Marin, just around the streets and paths, lastly on Sunday.  My pace was certainly better in the thicker air, running 4.5 miles with an average of about 11:30 -- not too bad for me.  I'm back up in Tahoe, and we have actually gotten some snow.  Just a few inches, but better than it has been for the past month and a half. 

I should start getting my training plans together, for I am definitely doing the oly length tri in July, and I will have to keep myself occupied with things other than running in the coming weeks and months . . . I did borrow a trainer from the same friend who sold me my fantastic road bike, and I purchased some interval training DVDs on amazon a few days ago.  Spinervals.  I'm planning on doing lots of biking.  Swimming as well, of course, though I have not been in anything larger than a hot tub since 2007.  Hopefully the reintroduction goes well!
