Fantastic research news indicating that I've been been right on track all along:

Women who run regularly should make sure they eat enough fat to avoid injury.

Woo hooooo!!! I can't wait for the follow-up study, "Women who skimp on chocolate lose strength quickly".

I don't usually log it when I walk the dogs, but today was a tough slog. It was foggy and rainy, and we have some bare ground. But still, it's mostly wet, soft, heavy snow. I went in knee-deep several times, and even thigh-deep once. (That's not an April Fool's joke!) BulletDog did some hill intervals while I post-holed along behind her. She's making a great recovery from her knee surgery. At this point, you'd really have to know what you were looking for to see anything out of the ordinary with her bionic leg.

I'm the proud owner of a 1-month membership at the Caledon Wellness Centre following a silent auction at Friday's semi-formal. This works out perfectly since it looks like the trails are going to be in rough shape over the next month - and even the roads in our area are mud pits right now. I'm normally not big on indoor aerobics, but it might be tough to prepare for an adventure race on May 3 without biting the bullet. Since it's usually not possible to buy a 1-month membership to the Wellness Centre - and that's all I think I would ever want - I feel like I've won the lottery!

Today I tried the recumbent bike for 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes on the spin bike. I can see the appeal of aerobic exercise that allows you to read, although I'm a little suspicious of it for the same reason. Oh, and if you're out there Peggy, I was reading Psychology Today and Runner's World. (I probably should have written her for advice first!)
