ended up running only once on the england trip. i got a migraine one day in london that i'd intended to run (with joe, we ended up getting breakfast instead), and then once we were out in dorset at my in-laws' place i got properly sick (haven't vomited that much since...2018, when i had giardia the first time?). it went around: nephew got it first; then my niece and sister-in-law; then me, my wife, and my father-in-law; then my brother-in-law. mother-in-law apparently has an iron stomach, despite being outwardly by far the least fit of the bunch. made for a kind of funny and disjointed christmas, but we still managed to have a good time with whatever crew was well enough on a given day!

back at it this week, which should be the start of my 16-week build to toledo. however, my wife and her best friend separately started planning a baby shower for the weekend of that race, so there may be some adjustments. hopefully they can shift the event forward a week or something. but this is likely to be our only baby shower, so if it comes down to it i'll prob see if i can offload the bib and find a race for the weekend after.

oh, yeah, forgot i hadn't posted that on here yet: my wife is pregnant! wheeee, gonna be a dad!
