wow

A little over 3 days in and I am already getting bored. I finished almost all of the things I have been "planning" on finishing. Was going to wait till the first to start training but I guess it will begin tomorrow.

I never thought I would say it but damn i miss working. FML.

Well that sucked

I drank waaaaaay to much in a very short amount of time last night and now i pay dearly. Eh, once a year isn't bad. i have been worse off after this crawl believe you me. Another day on the couch......

One Hour

cyclocross races do nothing for you if you are gonna go on long rides. Today was the first 2+ hour ride i have done for the new training season. Got home, ate, showered and passed the fuck out. Could be a combination of cold, rain and pace but damn. Out son, out! Working on getting the Pinarello back together for a training bike so i can clean and put the raliegh away. The crawl tonight should be interesting to say the least.


Proof that this crawl does not usually end well.

Sweet

Time to start long rides tomorrow or today that is. Long easy ride to Snohomish. No leg breaking mine included. Not yet at least.





DO WORK SON!!!

Another day.........

Morning came, had coffee and walked the dog. Not too bad but I prefer doing it in a rush so that I can get to work on time. Who am i kidding? On time? Mehhhh. Being able to work your own hours is awesome. Now I just got to get back to that. Talked to the pops today. Man that has to be tough. Living in Detroit as a retiree has too be hard. I know I ain't going back anytime soon or ever. To live that is. Visiting is ok, cuz you still get to leave. C'est la vie. I can now have a beer or too and not have to worry about getting a ride in to cover the calories. Come January though I am training my......what the hell am i thinking. What else do i have to do. Hell yeah, 6 days of 4+ hour rides followed by a nap here I come!!!!!!! Recover day then repeat.

The first

Day that i have woken up with out having a job to go to. Wow, this is different. Not liking it too much but i do what i do. So today i will be taking pics of stuff for craigslist. Need to get rid of some stuff and generate a little $$$$$.

Totally suck-tacular

Damn, really wanted to go to nats this year. FML. Looking through some pics and I missed out on alot of fun times dammit. But gotta take the god with the bad (bad has had the upper hand for awhile). So i will be off to have 10 beers maybe. Blech I hate the morning after this event. I usually feel like as for 2 days but at least i don't have to go to work.....lucky me.

How am I feeling?

Sooooo.........

Let's see....I was supposed to be at 'cross nats but was advised to pull the plug on that due to impending news that I couldn't be told about.

So, instead of getting my backpay and going back to full salary I am now on "furlough" or layed off as we all know it to be and no back pay. Hhhhmmmmm, so that means I am fucked. And my roomates are thinking of moving at the end of Jan. This past year of crap has sapped my savings. All of it. Gone. Not that I was banking on the words I was told that we are going to be funded or anything like that.......

But I do have options and will be trying to make the best of what I got right now.

geezus christ

this has been sum fucking week so far. Can't tell which end is up which is down nor where i am in between. But, i have options and will make the best of them.

so

I guess i have been given the grace of time. so i will try and fill that time with my less than amusing trials and failures. Mostly failures at this point.

track, track trackitty track!!!!!!

First night of the year. Pre-season but racing is racing bitches! Beers won the scratch race which i dont think i did to much to help with. The we had a snowball....mathematics is the name of the game....7, 8, 9 and you can't lose. And I didn't. Then we did the new "wheel" race. essentially a n Australian pursuit. Yeah won that shit too. Points race was good. I felt really well in the sprints. Was trying to set Suggle Puss up for th first sprint but ended up riding him of my wheel to the line. I ended up second in the race and Beers got 4th. I got me some good form right now and using it while I can. gonna do some down time and get ready for crits and the regular track season. that shit got cold tonight though. My nipples were rattlin and shit. chilly, damn cold.
