Rainy day but the sun will shine

Double whammy this week. Caught a bit of a cold on Wednesday and now it's raining. I've missed the last three days of workouts but plan on getting in a short run and a weight session today. Will try to hit the tide pool hill a couple of times on Sunday too.

We've got a trip to Tucson coming up next week, so I'm going to do everything I can to make sure I'm ready to train. Also, on Feb. 20th, we're going to provide a home stay to a professional xterra athlete for six weeks. Her name is Ranata Bucher and she's been winning almost every race she's entered over the last year. While it will be a change to have someone else in the house for a while, we're hoping that having a pro close by and seeing how hard she trains will provide a big boost to our motivation.
