so already, the first delayed adventure of the year - and it's not even february yet!  i've been incredibly busy this past week, helping out my old employer, allstream, and sealing memory leaks for my day job.  it has not... has NOT... been an easy week.

one crazy thing that i did do was do my first long run of the season.  i guess that long runs are meant to be somewhat longer than your usual training/conditioning runs.  just something to help push the envelope a bit.  so, on average, i've been running 5 - 6km on the treadmill, which was fairly decent.  saturday, i decided to quadruple that to 20km - more or less to see if i could.  i did it in not too bad time (under 5:30 per click), but i completely marmelized my knees and hips and thighs and calves and tendons - ok, both legs - so that now i can barely walk.  but it was my best long run this early in the year.  so it was worth it.

now i have to try and figure out how to squeeze two adventures in some time in the next year!
