a long week


My daughter came into town with her boyfriend last weekend. It was GREAT to have them and we had loads of fun. Nice dinners, movies, Wii games, shopping, sight seeing in Philly, etc. It was nice to get to some places that we haven't been to in a while (Victory Brewing Company) or I haven't tried at all (Simon Pierce). All very good.

At the same time, work was insane! Several things hit at the same time and I'm still trying to sort through it.

I got a small cold - tickle in the back of the throat with a cough that kept me (and Sena) awake at night.

Somehow I managed to get 7+ hours of training in for the week. I snuck in a 1 hour bike ride here - an hour on the eliptical there and when everyone slept on Saturday I did an hour on the trainer followed by a 9 mile run with a guy less than half my age and 25 pounds lighter - I struggled at the end of the run going up Hillsdale Road - nice 3/4 mile climb.

Today after my daughter and her boyfriend left, I did a 50 mile ride with Joel. We were both feeling a bit ragged, he more than I (thankfully). We stopped by Jacquie and Joanne on the way home and had a cold beer when we got back. It was a good ride.
