My Brother Keith and his wife Vicki are doing the PF Changs 1/2 marathon. Doug's doing the full and going for a Boston qualifier.
Sunday I ran 10 miles with Keith. Actually it's 1/2 mile to and from his house so I ended up with 11. We went slow and steady down Cave Creek to Pinnacle Peak. He's in fine shape and should do the 1/2 without problem. He'd be amazed how much fitter he'd be if he'd quit smoking! Maybe he'll kick it up to a full after this.
Afterwards I went and stood in my pool. I can't imaging how cold it is. It really can't be very cold because it's just not that cold here yet, even at night. But it seemed very cold and it's been a long time since I took an ice bath. I couldn't stand it very long. This morning my leg muscles start hurting right where the cold water stopped touching. Ice baths are magic!
