So yesterday I felt lousy and didn't do anything. I also stayed home from work today. I feel ok now - I think I just needed a little time offe.

I posted this as one of my favorite NZ pictures. West Coast going from Haast.

I have decided that I am going to Cordova this summer. Over the July 4th weekend and I want to be there during their salmon festival. And I want to do a 1/2 marathon while there. So I have been checking on marathon training and I think beginning March 1 I will start to train to run a marathon (or half this year - maybe next year I can run a full one.)

I have started gathering up my stuff to go to Juneau. I think it will serve as a mini vacation for me also. I am ready to be away for a little while - I don't think I have been anywhere since last February's trip to Juneau. Well be that as it may, I am glad to get the opportunity.

I just have to work all weekend do complete the stuff I should have done yesterday and today at work. But that's ok - I can get it done in about 3-4 hours and still have some time to finish up getting ready for my trip.

Spunkee seems to have a sore foot today. I will have to keep an eye on it. I think I will take her back to the vet during Spring break - she just seems to not be feeling well and I wonder if she has a low grade infection. Her nose just doesn't seem to want to heal all the way. It gets better, then she breaks the scab off and it gets worse again. We will see. She is almost 11 now.

I think this will be it for tonight. I will keep myself updated on my progress toward my marathon goals. This will be a good place to do that.
