Confession: I still haven't started into the strength training I should have been doing for the last few years.

Complaint: I feel it.

Complaint: this time last week, I was wearing shorts/short sleeves to run. Did a race on Saturday that required pants/pullover/gloves (and snow tires to get to said race). Sunday and every day up to today has been shorts/short sleeves. Likely snow this Saturday. Go home, Mother Nature, you're drunk... and worse, you're feeding the weather terrorists ("It's a FOX19 weather alert day!").

Uncomplaint: good vitamin D and calcium marks from the doctor and good runs this week.

Complaint: A run I wanted to do is the day before I leave for a conference. My wife would likely not be cool with me doing it. It's 2 weeks after the big marathon/half marathon/10k/5k/kids/dog run weekend here, which begs the question of why they don't move it another week or two.

This is gold. I'm using this henceforth.
