elementary

well, that was a busy couple of weeks. we closed out our early summer break by 'getting the band back together' (picking up calvin friday night), getting some bike riding in, installing some new pendant lights in the kitchen (look great, jury is still out on the quality of light) and spending some quality time with my sis/bro in law who are visiting from dk. it was short as their time was limited - but sometimes those short visits are the best. calvin has been a complete pill since returning home - some probably due to him being two and some probably due to his schedule being off. i'm sure he was living the high life with grandma/grandpa over the week as well.

so, training. it's been awhile since i've summarized anything. i'll start with last week...

m: 0 (on a ladder all day pressure washing)
t: 1:40 (road ride)
w: 0 (hot and unmotivated)
r: 2:10 (commute/add on)
f: 0 (picking up calvin in wausau)
s: 1:50 (road ride around mt vernon)
n: 1:20 (mtb at quarry ridge)
total: 7:00

and the week before:

m: 1:40 (commute w/add on)
t: 2:00 (commute w/add on)
w: 1:00 (commute)
r: 0 (traveling/sick)
f: 0 (traveling/sick)
s: 1:00 (running associated w/urban race)
n: 1:20 (road/bike paths)
total: 7:00

all things considered, i'm happy with the volume i hit amidst travels, house work, and having a pretty nasty cold that kept me from getting quality sleep most nights last week. i'm hoping to return to normalcy this week in terms of training rhythm...including a little extra tonight and a steamy short track at blackhawk on wednesday. i was going to do the capital criterium on sunday but just noticed it'll cost me $50. way too much for a 50 minute criterium. yikes!

back at it...my first full week in the past few. i've got a case of the mondays!

happy monday.
