Still Pregnant

Karen is still pregnant. We both thought she would have popped this thing out by now. Nate was 5 weeks early, so we're +4 weeks from the day where we started saying "could be any day now", yet still one week away from the due date.

Haven't said much on names lately. I like Katherine for a girl. Also liked Kieran for a boy. Karen's not too crazy about either one, I think. We're going to have to meet this one before we decide.

This 50 mile training plan is a bit ridiculous. I ran 30km on Saturday, starting in Repulse Bay, via Black's Link to the Peak on the Hong Kong Trail. I ran the Action Asia Sprint Race in Discovery Bay on Sunday. Only 12 km, but 800 meters of climbing. I was pretty happy with a 15th overall (3rd in 54-39 cat.), especially with a big effort on Saturday. I won a women's GoLite top. Printed on the prize envelope was "Give it to your girlfriend."

So I was feeling pretty good about the mileage I put in over the weekend, and then checked the plan. While I am currently on the right training load, more or less, I'm a little put off by the middle of this plan, which has me doing 4-hr (Sat) and 5-hr (Sun)runs back to back on consecutive weekends. Still a few weeks away, but a few light years from where I am at the moment.

And we're about to have a baby...
