AM long run on the treadmill with some random hills and strides thrown in throughout the run to break the monotany.  Think I actually got up to about MP at some point.  18 mi. - 2:14:25.  I now know everything about the NCAA football bowls since I went rhough about 3 cycles of the same ESPN broadcast of yesterday's games.  Also, if you are sick enough to where you are clearing your throat every 30 seconds and sniffling please don't come in to a gym with a whole row of about 10 treadmills with one in use and set up shop right next to the one person in the gym... :(

Long day today - woke early to get to work by 5:30a.  around 9a the wife calls panicked - apparently Jude has a food allergy to yogurt.  She had to call 911 since he swelled up and had hives all over his body popping up.  They went on ambulance ride over to the ER and I raced from Seymour to Columbus in record time.  I got there before they had given the poor little guy the "epi"... he looked awful :(  Anyway, the 4 different shots they gave him took care of it and we aited it ou in the ped wing of the hospital.  He's feeling pretty sick to the stomach from all the puking and the bout with 4 different drugs in his system.

much needed run tonight at the gym - PM - 7mi. on treadmill - 54:10.  Threw in 4xhills at about LT at 6% incline.

AM 5k: jogged from TP's house over to race - snow/sleet made for soaked socks and hat.  Slow race today - nobody amoung top 4 Quaffers really trying until 2 miles in.  Sloppy conditions and joggin mile 1 and 2... Tim and I tried to mess with the timers and crossed together... :) we also jogged home in the wintry mix.

end of series this yr - fun time with some "well mannered frivolity" after race and during awards with team QuaffON!

PM treadmill at the gym:  wanted to see some of the UK/UNC bBall game.  With no cable, the gym is a great option on a Saturday night.  Did   2x1mi. LT - 10mph,. 10.2 mph,  2x0.5 mi. LT - 10.4mph, 10.4mph with 0.25mi. rec. jogs.  7.25 mi. - 52:00 total.
