OK, I don't want to live in the snow anymore.  Just a few times a year would be nice.  No power would drive me crazy.

No power and cold sucks.  Glad I live in the South.

That's some nasty snow storm up in the NE, hope all are safe!

I got in a 1 mile swim today, now watching football. Felt great to get back in the pool after a couple of weeks being idle.

We're in the same boat.  No power.  My parents don't have power.  CL&P estiamte it'll be seven days ot get it back on-line.

No good at all.

So this was a good and bad weekend all told.

The good:  My alma mater won and is now ranked 13th in the BCS.  That's the highest ranked team in the state of Texas.  Suck it UT, A&M, Tech, TCU, etc.  The Texans won and are in firm control of the AFC South.  Rest weekend training wise and my legs feel great.  Set a PR over 5k this morning at 20:18.  Got to see some old friends at a reception on Saturday night.

The bad:  Speaking of the reception.  Cindy drank more red wine than she can at this point and didn't eat.  I ended up having to hose down and clean out the passenger side of the Expedition.  Little tip:  Windex removes all remanats of red wine from light colored leather.  Oh and tonight is Halloween.  I so hate this holiday.

We got over a foot.  There are over 800,000 people without power and it loks like we won't have power back before we leave from Florida on Wednesday.

October is done for me.  The focus was rebuilding my run and strength training.  I'm getting the yoga poses down, and I'm actually enjoying it.  May keep an hour a week into the tri season. 

Pretty quiet month for me. Was hoping to hit 100 miles running, but IT band didn't allow that.  So I pretty much took the last two weeks off from running to let it rest.  No issues on the bike.  Will be starting to pick it up in November(ish).

Ran this morning, easier pace, just to ease back into running.  IT Band felt fine.  Followed that with 20+ mins of circuits, but no over head shoulder work.  It's killing me.  trying to get into Ortho this week or next to see my options.  I need to start swimming, and can't

suckage, just total suckage.

WTF am i gonna do with this 6lbs of candy i cannot hand out??

i already ate two pounds and have a stomach ache.

Last supper today/tonight, then hardcore diet starts tomorrow.

I can deal with no power, this no heat sucks major b#@%s

No heat. No water.  Stayed at my parents last night and you know how Karen and my mother feel about each other.

I figure: keep eating the candy, we will need our winter coats this year.

October's totals:

Bike: 15h 54m 18s  - 261.47 Mi

Run: 26h 41m 42s  - 153.6 Mi

Yoga: 2h 00m

Embarrassed there is no swim, nuttin!

So I have decided that part of my calf cramping issues is weak calfs, so I am committing some more time to calfs.  Besides toes raises off steps and now some jumping roping, any other idea of other calf strengthening exercises?  I do everything at home.

 Oh and I did my first ever squat jumps --- WHOA!!!
