Our illnesses continue, Bennet fell asleep last night at about 7:00ish, and as night approached, his temperature increased as did his croup cough.  Bennet likes to come into our room most every night and sleep on the floor, and his barking cough made it a long night sleep.  It got to the point that I steamed him in the bathroom with a hot running shower, which seemed to ease his cough for about 2 hours.  I also had him sleep on the recliner, which kept him in more of an upright position, which meant I slept on the couch.  Any time I am not in my bed, I do not sleep very well.  Jake also continues to run a temp.....  so this might be a fun week.

To hit on my workouts, my ankle is healing, but still sore and stiff.  I was able to run for about 1/2 a mile on Saturday and it held up pretty good.  I have also been riding the bike and jumping rope.  Next week, if the weather is nice, I am going to try to increase my running miles.  I also hooked my mountain bike up to my bike trainer today and rode for about 15 minutes.  I was surprised how good of a workout it was.  I will need to put a plastic mat under me, so the carpet does not absorb all the dripping sweat.  It is my goal to ride the bike 5 nights a week in addition to my weights and other cardio. 

In regards to my new year resolution, I am a complete and utter failure.  I continue to drink about 20 to 40 ounces of pop a day (which is less that before the new year), and I have been having a few beers as I watch football or basketball games.  This coming week I have told myself I will try harder.  I will let you know how it goes.
