rambling man...

The WC run club changed their Saturday morning run to 7am, so I was able to run with them on Saturday, the ride with the bike club at 8:30. I actually DROVE to the run start (only 1.5 miles away!). And I actually rode a shorter distances than the group (40 miles instead of 60).

So now what? Well, I haven't been keeping a training log for a couple of months now. I quit the YMCA. I only have ONE 3.5mile running race planned in October!

So now what?

I pulled out the heavy power tools today and did some fairly serious yard work in 90 degree weather. Then I took a shower and slept and read.

Tomorrow, I plan to ride my bike into work. I 'borrowed' Mini's Garmin, purchasing the cadence / speed sensor that goes with it for my bike. It is all mounted now, but it took some doing - the frame on my bike must be significantly further from the crank than most other bikes, so I had to create a 3/4 inch 'shim'. I read reviews about the cadence sensor and found that I wasn't the only one with this problem. We'll see how it goes.

So now what?

I dunno. I'm thinking I should really do those Tuesday morning (5:30am) track workouts. Maybe I can do a 17minute 5K this summer - or at least a PR... those olympic trials are pretty darn inspirational.

Then there is this idea I've been toying with, where Mini drives me to Blue Marsh and I swim for 90 minutes, then ride 65miles home on back roads. That sounds like a good day. I would be good if I could find someone to do it with.

So now what?

I've been looking longingly at my kayak lately. It looks lonely and sad. I asked Mini if she wanted to join me for a quick paddle - not all that interested. Maybe some quiet time at Marsh Creek one morning.

There is the Wii Fit championship challenge that Mini and I are doing with a friend of hers. Very close contest. We are all getting better (not sure about fitter), but it's fun.

Then there is the whole weight lifting thing - I've started that up a bit.

So now what?

Reading - yeah, I'm reading 3 books right now, 3 monthly publications, daily paper, and of course a buzillion newsfeeds, not to mention the research and technical reviews I do at work. Is my brain getting enough stimulation - maybe, but it doesn't seem like it.

And of course the yard / house work is forever consuming, but I do like it.

The triathlon group has sort of levelled off. Will need a shot of something if I want to keep it going.

So now what?
