what a day
i ended up able to take the day off and boy am i glad i did. cal and i woke up and had breakfast and then he was off to dc for another great day. side note: we got an email today saying that our daycare is installing a mini-splash park this spring for use this summer. we are so very happy we switched last november!
anyway, back home to sip some coffee and watch the news. apparently if you sit and watch the morning news after 8am they switch to pretty much all pop culture 'news.' i don't get it. anyway, after fondling the remote for a bit i kitted up and headed out on my favorite hilly loop. i like to use this one as a fitness gauge periodically and also just plan like riding the roads but it takes a while. i felt strong throughout - althout i wasn't jamming - i was trying to always have a gear or two in reserve when i was climbing or picking up the intensity. it was an amazing day in the saddle.
65 miles. approximately 6000 ft of climbing. 3.5 hours. 48 degrees when i started and 78 when i finished. and this is mid march? now i'm sipping a coffee and surfing the internet. i'll probable bake a loaf of bread soon for dinner tonight. tomorrow, if calvin is up for it i'd like to tow him to the tunnel on the badger trail. i guess i should wait and see how my legs feel too.
i am going to take a day like this every 3 weeks or so. i have a surplus of pto and will probably still have to sell some hours at the end of the year to avoid losing. smoke them if you've got them.
happy friday.
