COLD AGAIN

Well, it started to rain/sleet last night, so my hopes of an early morning run were quickly erased.
Instead it will be a small breakfast, work on some athlete schedules, and hit the Dreadmill for the 50th time. I am not a big fan of running inside, but I am not a big fan of slipping around on icy ground either.
I am packing up for my trip to Tucson/Phoenix. A group of friends that are doing IM AZ wanted to do a camp, so they rented a house in Tucson over President's weekend. So I will be in Tucson from the 15th through the 20th. Then, I have another group of friends from D3Multisport that are also doing IM AZ. They decided to book some hotel rooms in Phoenix from the 21st through the 25th. So I figured why not just make a 10 day camp out of it? I have been to Phoenix on several occassions, but I have never been to Tucson. I am excited to go up Mt. Lemmon, swim at an outdoor pool and run in shorts.
Between the bike, tools, clothes, food and all the acutrements needed, it seems to be piling up.
I was talking with a friend yesterday, she suggested that if I wanted to extend my stay, I can camp at the KOA campgrounds. If you have never done this, it is a great way to go. For 50 bucks you get a small heated cabin that will sleep 3 people, a small desk, and 1 electrical outlet. The bathrooms are shared, but have always been clean. It's a perfect solution since you don't have to bring your tent, sleeping bag, pad, etc. Plus, you can leave your bikes safely inside when you head out for a swim or run. They are all over the country, so check it out.
OK, time to finish my espresso, pound out a few emails and get to the gym.
