3/17 Intervals, NCAA, Jpn

Ran a hour with intervals - wow - it was tough.  Very windy today.  Hips were sore and tight from bike intervals yesterday.  Didn't hinder running though.  Tried to focus on lifting heels to butt and leaning forward.  Worked well...


NCAA Basketball tournament starts today!  I refuse to acknowledge play in games - nothing against the teams that played yesterday.  I haven't watched much basketball this season, but I picking Kansas over Duke.  Don't know how I got Duke that far because I don't think they are as strong as in years past.

Britons in Tokyo and the area north of the capital are advised to leave after fears regarding radiation poisoning. Other countries such as Australia and the US follow suit.
As military helicopters begin spraying water on the stricken plant officials say radiation levels have fallen over the past 24 hours. Winds continue to blow towards the Pacific Ocean where any radioactive material will break up.
TEPCO says pressure is rising again at reactor No. 3. It says there was still water in its spent-fuel pool. On Wednesday, the company described the situation there as "not so good." The US Nuclear Regulator Commission said on Wednesday there was no water in the pool.
Company officials express hope of getting limited power to the plant to help pump water but not yet for reactors 3 and 4.
At around 5:30 pm local time officials say three of the six reactors at plant are now relatively stable.
