After an unseasonably warm January, super happy to wake to 8 inches of powder.

Long run day in Boulder – 20 miles.

Still not fast but slowly transforming into an endurance athlete — it’s happening.  Finally reined in food intake, have stayed consistent with training – balancing short speed work with long endurance days.  Feeling good, body’s strong.

4 consecutive marathon weekends in February (Fort Smith, Myrtle Beach, Hyannis & Little Rock) – have never run back-to-back-to-back-to-back in my life.  Not expecting PRs – but one sub-4 would be awesome.

Re-consumed all 2600 calories burned in the a.m. during Ash’s 2^nd annual Super Bowl jalapeño popper & wings fest.  Another FAAANNNNTASTIC spread!  [Click HERE to view last year’s grub.]

Game ended on 2 ridiculous plays – a 33-yard juggling catch by Seattle’s Jermaine Kearse, immediately followed by an interception 1^st & goal, with only 20 seconds left in the game.  Final score: Pats 28-24.
