 Went for a ride today, did some good hill climbs but i wanna know how is it so cold here?  i thought we had the best record for weather but it was 43 when i woke up to go riding.  i hope everyone's holiday is a good one and is meets the expectations of family and friends.  this was my first big ride back since the injury and i have a lot of work to get ready but it felt good and i will be pushing harder in the coming weeks. so good training and merry christmas!!!

well with the holiday season zooming by, i can not wait till it is over. i went to my wife's christmas party for work and there was so much food. As all of us know we watch what we eat most of the time but i let loose i had three pieces of chicken and a bunch of potatoes along with some veggies. i feel like i cheated or something but it is the off season right? well i have marked the calendar and in a week and a half the work starts again, i have been working out but some what at random. so good holidays and it is ok to cheat every once in a while as we are only human......good training

Well it has been a rough 2 weeks , our dog died and we miss him he was a great friend and companion, i really did not feel like training and it was hard to keep a good attitude about anything, I told my wife that it would get better with time as she took it really hard. All that know us, know how much we love our dogs they are our children and his sudden passing was very hard. I have not been training all week, i felt depressed and it was hard to motivate myself. I received a call from a friend and we talked for a while, and he was having a hard time motivating himself also, we motivate each other and push each other when we train together, so we both decided to run today, i ran at race pace and just kept running and running, three hours later i had to stop. i must have had some pent up frustration and i am exhausted right now. but if i can give some advice ........ be thankful what you have, who you now and all that you come in contact with because you never know when it will be gone and leave the empty hole that we have to fill. i wish every one the best this holiday and hope you can get some time in for your self because we all need it. Thanks Robe for the motivation because i needed it. good training...
