What's a columbarium?

It sounds radioactive but it actually a place for respectfully holding urns and other remains. There happens to be one on the other side of the McDonogh chapel. I did not know the first and had probably forgotten the second. All of this was revealed in the warmup today. Also there was a lot of giggling about various sillinesses(sp?)- doesnt look wright <---hardee-har-har.

Anyway on to the workout 4x2000 starting every 9:00. Jamie did 1600s and Em did 8x400. There was still a 20m patch of snow in lane 1 which we managed to negotiate without too much difficulty. Times were 7:26,7:24,7:24,7:14. Effort was appropriate and easier than last week so good. Starting next week I will be doing this more significantly by meself and then the next week completely by myself- unless I can start doing these with Lou once a week which is a good idea. Haha I just noticed the "meself" in the last sentence but I will leave it as it is amusing. Anyway a good solid workout for all 3 of us.

Calf was a little tight after but no prob- this was the longest wo I have done since...way back when. Next weeks total distance will be shorter I think its 3x2400 but im not sure I might have switched something. The pace as i said was fine and I feel perfectly comfortable with going down 8 sec per month rather than 4 for at least the first 2 months and possibly the first 3 so well see how that goes. Just stay patient and consistent obv.

In other news the meets have gone well recently. Jeff got another PR in the 3200 running 1027 to move into the #2 spot in B County so good for him! Martin,Josh,Esanye,Katie G,Sierra,Laura and others recorded PRs on Monday. Its nice to see what our team can do at a better track and now they are starting to know what they are doing. Congrats! Now we have one more meet tomorrow and then 2 weeks of training for counties. Then 10 days till regionals and another week for states.

Lastly the weather seems ready to finally warm up a bit. The cold doesnt even bother me really which is good. I seem to be sweating more and more now so that is annoying like today it was prac like I jumped in the pool which made things a little chilly. Although I had 3 shirts on so what do u expect. Ooof long post enough.
