Off.

We got about 8 inches of snow in Maine and the roads weren't fantastic earlier in the day, though they cleared pretty quickly. Did a bit of shoveling for my parents. We went to my nephew's birthday party and had a good time.

Lunch: 4 miles w/ Megan, averaged 9:12. HR 154.

Megan was on the move again today. Negative split and progression on what is a down and then up course. Roads were mostly clear with just enough shoulder for marginal safety. We got together with my siblings and did some sledding on the old back hill. I brought out my middle school snowboard and did a few short runs downs the smaller section of the back field with a beer. Made me wish I could put time and money in snowboarding, but cycling is already too expensive.

We got home around 4. Nice two-hour, direct flight that was 30 minutes early. I slept pretty much the whole way.

Felt pretty decent after going back to bed and sleeping most of the early afternoon. Can't tell if it is overtiredness, stress of impending semester, or depression. Enjoyed the run even though it was too fast for current fitness.

PM: 4 miles on the treadmill.

Did captain's chair and some core machines and some weak pullups and chinups. It's been a while.

9 weeks of the cough, preceded by about a week of a minor cold. A new cold started kicking in today. I've never been so sick as when I have lived here. I am wondering if it is something environmental, though Megan seems normal and is not catching anything I have.

School starts Monday.
