distractions

last night i rode the trainer while playing ncaa football on the playstation. it did make my 60 minute spin go by faster but i'm not entirely sure just how much benefit i had (ie. i was maybe too distracted). i was telling robin i do better on the trainer in the dead of winter when riding outside is not an option (right now i could ride outside if it wasn't pitch black). my down week last week has chipped a little of my motivation (driving rain/sleet/snow the past couple of days hasn't helped) but i need to push through - nationals is still 2 months away.

today is calvin's birthday. as with any duration milestone in life, this is causing some introspection. our first year with calvin was difficult and seemed very long - this second year went by in a flash. daily i remind myself to enjoy my time with calvin and even still i feel like this time has gone by so fast. he is an amazing little boy and i cannot believe how much i love him.

happy (birthday) wednesday.
