Time for a little bit of catch up

Here we are on February 5th, and I haven't posted since January 24th-ish...yowza, this is what I was afraid would happen.  Life gets too busy and I'm a perfectionist so I'm not just going to throw something up here.  I edit and re-work and then edit again.  And that's time consuming.  Today, I have a ton to get done in preparation for a business trip this week, then it's straight to Vancouver for the weekend which finishes with a half marathon.  I'm not racing said half (it's considered a training run for me), but it's still an organized event nonetheless and a long run.  I take long runs VERY seriously.  Hell, you're out there for 2+ hours.  You need to be prepared.  I always have this fear of being an hour+ away from home and being screwed.  For example, I run out of fuel or hydration or I'm not dressed appropriately.  So ya, like I said, I take the preparation for long runs very seriously.  I think everything out and write down what I need to bring with me at least 2 days in advance.  That gives me time to buy more gels and stingers or do laundry if the gear I need is not in fresh rotation.

In the interest of time saving, I'll post a short training log catch up and then move on to the tasks at hand.
