If I get in an hour run tomorrow I'll just have 4 hours of training time in this week. Barely enough to compensate for the extra cookies and Halloween "treats" I've managed to put back. I don't count the 2 hours in the gym over two lunch hours.
At least my knee is feeling better.
Today I took to the track to get in an hour of fairly easy rollerskiing. At this point my arms are very much my limiting factor. Hopefully there'll be some significant snow in the snow belt next weekend and I can start blowing any discretionary income on trail passes and wax.
The kids were very well behaved out at the track, and played soccer for most of the hour, stopping only to stage an 800m race between my wife and I. Please don't tell her how hard I had to work to beat her.
While I was skiing I was thinking that we, as parents need to get more creative to get our children entertained while we demonstrate an active lifestyle. Skiing circles around them while they kicked around the ball was fine but I really admired the guy I saw the other day riding his road bike, with all the carbon he could muster, towing two kids in the trailer.
I'll need to do a top 10 list...
