Off to Vacation

Starting Friday, I fly out to Miami to spend a few days with one of Sue's best friends in Boca Raton, then we head off to the western caribbean for a 5 day cruise out of miami. I can't remember the last time I have taken a vacation like this so I'm due. It will be a nice break from the cold weather.


I got in 11+ hours of training this week. I felt a little run down as I often do on the third week of a training block. Hopefully, the recovery gets easier and I get more quality workouts as my body gets used to the training. I got in two 2 hour rides on the trainer this week which can be mentally very tough. I capped the week off with a 15k runnnig race that took place on a cold day today on a hilly course in Ridgefield. I decided not to do a warmup so I took the first 20-30 minutes of the race to warmup, then at the halfway point I kicked it in a bit. Finished in 1:10, 7:30 pace......just a bit behind the winner from Kenya who finished in 49 minuts :-)

Watching the patriots play the chargers right now......they are up 14-6 but the chargers are holding up tough. I didn't think Rivers would be as agile as he has been. GO PATS!!!!
