My training plan gives me a rest day today, so I'm taking it. My nose is a little drippy and my throat is a little scratchy, but I think it might be seasonal allergies, not a cold. I never used to have hay fever, but maybe I'm developing it in my old age.

Inasmuch as I don't have anything running-related to report today, I'm going to plug a website that I enjoy. It has absolutely nothing to do with running, but it's fun. It's kind of a "mommy blog" but is broader than that. The address is http://thepioneerwoman.com.

I'm taking a vacation day tomorrow in order to go on a long run. I won't be able to get out for the run until after all the kids are at school, so I'll have a (relatively) leisurely morning. I'm doing my long run on a Friday for the third week in a row because I need to run a choir practice Saturday morning.

Have a good rest day... and vacation day tomorrow. Hope it's just some seasonal stuff, maybe the rest day will help. I will be off work Friday and Monday... My youngest is out of school so I thought we could do some fun things. I won't be doing my long run on Friday though.

I will have to check out the website when I get home... but from what I can see, it looks interesting. :)
