Update

Well, it's been a few days since I posted...sorry about that.  We went to the Ponocos this past weekend and had a great time.  The boys chose to go tubing on Friday afternoon/evening and the water park on Saturday.  Since we only got about 2 inches of snow we were able to get around with ease.  The tubing was a blast, and was running very fast.  I did a face plant at the end and cut up the mug a little bit but it was really a lot of fun for all of us.  Earlier that day we actually played on the frozen lake behind the house...pretty cool playing on the lake we canoe across during the summer.  On Saturday we watched the updates of all the snow falling at home and got ready to hit the water park.  That was another good time.  The park had a boogie board pool that was pretty cool and some really good tubes.  The family tube was a lot of fun because all of us were able to go down together.  The best part of the trip was getting a chance to get away and spend time together!

My training has slowed down this week becuase I had a slight injury to my back on Sunday and it has been pretty stiff and sore so I've taken a couple of days off this week to rest it.  It may not be such a bad idea anyway as it's also giving my leg some extra time.  I think I'm going to hold off until Friday to do too much of anything in the way of exercise and chalk this week up to a low mileage and recovery week.  Hopefully by the weekend I'll feeling closer to normal and I can pick up the pace over the next couple of weeks and start adding on the miles on both the bike and the runs.

As I write this I'm watching the snow fall and looking forward to the 1-2 feet we should end up with by late tomorrow.  Some of the drifts will be over Thomas' head and the overall amount of snow in one week will be absolutely amazing.  I'm hoping this one has some move moisture in it so that we can make some snowmen and snow dogs.
