not much longer

i haven't done a bit of training since my race ended saturday afternoon. i'm starting to get that achy soreness that i get when i go from consistent training down to daily zeros. also, even though we still have a ton of snow piles the roads are clear and i'm getting the urge to ride. the swap is saturday so i might be using my bike time allotment there. maybe if i bat my eyes and beg robin she will let me ride during nap time. i'd like to get one ride in before the cold snap arrives...

i have been trying to enjoy not feeling like i need to do something every day. after cal's bath/bedtime last night i got up on the roof and took down all the remaining christmas decorations and put them in there places in the basement. christmas isn't done yet for us - we are celebrating with my family next weekend - but there is no need to have the decorations up any longer. i'm happy they came down before st. valentine's day!

and, i'm happy to report that i'll be supported by twin six again this year. we used to get little sponsorships from companies that were nice but not my preferred equipment to actually use. not the case with twin six - by far the best gear i've ridden in terms of both function and style. i have fully embraced the 'look good feel good' mantra and T6 gets me there every time. there has been talk of a metal derivative design with fuel for this cross season in 2013 - that would be super cool!

happy thursday.
