Friday, December 11th




This week was mostly a loss. I ran two mornings, very light runs. This morning's run was cold...one degree cold, like 31 degrees below freezing. I wore some new partial face mask that covers my nose, cheeks, mouth, and cleverly fastens via a velcro clasp behind my ears. Too bad that with every breath my glasses fogged completely over.

I need contacts. I kept thinking the whole time about last weeks fall. I still have a scab on my elbow and knee. Gross. Interestingly, it does make me feel young though - having a juvenile looking rode rash down one side of my body. Most people don't put there bodies through anything.

I rode my trainer twice this week....mediocre rides. I didn't even really keep track of my workouts. I just rose from my bed, put on some cycling shorts, and started pedaling. One morning I took Zeke, our new puppy, down to the basement with me. That was a total waste. I got off the bike about ten times to remove various Nerf darts, wooden Tinker toy parts, a plastic bag, my socks, and the cord to the boys Playstation II from the dogs mouth. The next morning little Zeke stayed in his crate.

I did not swim this week. Not once. And I was just starting to find my arms again in the water. Honestly, even after only a few 2,500 yard workouts I can still feel a slight pain now and then in my right shoulder. I can pull through the water pretty hard still - but my right arm was damaged throwing Liam in the lake a few years ago. It's never been quite the same since that day.

My big news: I won my Ebay bike. A 2009 Felt B 12. Can't figure out how to put the image where I want ....but there it is at the top in all it's beauty. Except that silly looking seat. I'm going to move that machine quickly along my Indiana rodes.
