weekend.
wow, this weekend flew by. but it was good.
saturday started with some coffee and then my 3hr brick. is it just me or is 3 hours starting to feel (dare i say), easy? i hope that this means my training is right on schedule. i've never had sensations like this before, usually when i've been in "base" in the past i'm pretty tired by now. then again, this is the first true periodization i've done and those half volume rest weeks just may be the key (imagine that....it's not like every single training literature states that as the key or anything). after that, it was off to sam's house for the single speed conversion of the century (well, in my personal relm anyway). i had permi-grin from having the old diamondback back to functional (and drinking a couple of coldies). then robin and i wrapped up the day with some tasty burgers and deep fried goods at dots and some fatty bo batty cream cream.
sunday, i was wide awake at 6:45am. i finally finished the armstrong book i've been reading one page a day. now i can try to crack into my book backlog. then we were off to milwaukee for lunch with aunt sue and uncle jim (and fam sans adam) and the art museum. i like that museum. there was some party there with all kinds of fuddy duddies art types. no wine though (i was feeling my beers from the day before). then back home for homeade pasta sauce and nooneys. tastey.
wow, the weekend was even better than i remembered.
anyway, i'll post some pictures of the ss. i really want to put some more time/upgrades into it...i think it could end up being a really sweet ride. new wheels and brakes would get that thing under 20 pounds. we'll leave that investment for next winter....
