We’ve had some unusually warm temperatures the past couple of weeks, even for southern California. As a result, some of the trees are actually in bloom.

I stepped outside my office and was almost knocked over by the fragrance of the blooms. Of course, part of that could be due to the fact that I can finally breathe/smell again after nearly 10 days of the cold/sinus infection.

Since I’m finally on the mend from the aforementioned cold, I actually got out for a wog (walk/jog combo) last night after work. It felt really good to actually be able to get in a workout again. I missed most of January between all my various illness/injury problems. As a result, I’m going to have to revisit my training schedule for my upcoming half marathon to see if I need to adjust things. It’s still a few months away, so I may be OK and not have to adjust things too much.

As a follow-up to my post yesterday, sadly, the Lady Vols didn’t get the win last night. They played a good game, but were playing on the road against Oklahoma who is the #2 team in the country right now (the Lady Vols are #15). On the upside, our next game against Georgia is back in Knoxville which would be pretty nice for Coach Summitt to reach that milestone at home on the court named after her.

Of course, the downside to this is that last night’s game was on ESPN, but the Georgia game is on Fox Sports South which I can’t get here in California. So, I guess I’ll have to try and find an audio feed for the game online somewhere so I can at least hear it since I won’t be able to watch it.
