In case you were wondering…
…hail is hard. And cold. Brr!
Oh where, oh where is spring? I’m ready for warmth. Or at least warm rain. But, I shouldn’t complain. I forwent a heated ride to the gym this morning so I could be home to buy my Peter Gabriel tickets on Virgin radio presale at 9 am sharp. (Woo-freakin’-hoo! The music gods are being so nice to me right now!) I also shouldn’t complain because I just spent a surprisingly dry* week in Ireland. A few drops here and there while we were driving and a dusting of snow on the airplane wings as we took off, but nothing to grumble about.
Just so you don’t think my silence on the blog is an indication I was slacking, here’s a rundown of my recent training.
