Running
I'm starting to get back into the swing of things with the running.  I've always been afraid of winter running, and I guess it's completely irrational because except for my fingers, there's no part of me that gets cold.

I've been doing fairly short distances, in the range of 2-3 miles at a time, but I'm building up.  It's not so much an endurance thing as it is a body thing... In 2008 when I was really getting into the running, I developed a shitty case of plantar fasciitis, and it took me well over half a year to recover.  I'm hoping that I can really make a consistent thing out of it this time around, rather than being so stop-and-go about it.

I signed up for a MiniCourse in Woodworking at the Memorial Union today, which will be fun.  6:30-9:30pm on Mondays for a month starting early February.  Plus, I get to use the craftshop during that time to work on my cabinets for the house!

In other news, I've been really productive lately.  I finished up the wiring project at the new house, got some work done regarding fixing some minor things that came up on the inspection report, did a lot of my "winter accounting" for Gorham Street Productions, and have just generally been doing things in stride, rather than letting them build up.  

This weekend, I'm helping a friend build a garage and workshop.  He's been touring with 311 as their massage therapist for over a decade, and he works privately as a massage therapist here in town in between tours.  He's building a 2 car garage, and adding a massage studio above the garage so that he has a place to work and doesn't have to lug his table everywhere.  For helping him build the garage, he'll be willing to work on my back and also give me a hand with some of my projects at the new house, so it's a win-win!

Finally, in a week and a half I take off for Colorado for some skiing!  I'm looking forward to it, this winter I've kept so busy that I haven't even touched my skis yet!
