We had a great time at Braxtons tonite. I am very proud of my 19 year old, and my 30 year old. It occurred to me tonite, while sitting in the hot tub with Colby and Kylie, that my life is almost perfect. There is of course that one missing element, and yet I told myself that almost perfect is far, far better than most people are fortunate enough to claim. So I'm gonna keep the old demons where they belong and focus on today, and maybe a little bit on tomorrow. Tomorrow because I plan on making Peter hurt big time at the races tomorrow. He may be very fit, but those big biceps ain't gonna help him get around the race course!
I'm slow as molasses in januray as well, but everythings relative eh? I am going to try to run the 10k in 50 minutes tomorrow....touch wood. My 10k p.b. is 37 and 1/2 minutes!
I got back in the saddle today and felt reasonably good. I did 66 kms, 65 on my bike(29.3k/hr) and 1 in the pool in 24 1/2 mins. Both of these I'm ok with. The bike was a little slower than I would have liked but by the time I was done the wind was up to 30k/hr so no problem. My swim continues to make slow but steady progress, so I feel good there. In both cases I didn't have too much back discomfort, even though I'm a little stiff now. I think that if I'm careful though I should be able to get back to regular activity. I need to stretch more often, especially my hamstrings, and I slso found a cool strengthening program in a magazine that has been vetted by the 'Roo'. So I will try to do that 3 to 5 times a week as well. I slso recently discovered the secret to improving my personal appearance. Just cut off some of the uglier parts, and then buy girdle like workout garments for whats left!
Whadda ya think of the old grampa in his cycling clothes? Wait til next summer! Of course I'll have trouble justifying so much clothes then.
That's it for today. Life is good!
I wish to dedicate day 38 to my Adrian, who is perhaps more like me, and vice versa than either of us would like to admit.

I have just now read the previous 2days posts and I concur with you regarding your wonderful Roo!! She is a strength to be reckoned with if you dare hurt someone she loves. I also know that had the situation been reversed you would have done the same for her. What goes around, comes around and you will someday be given the opportunity to repay her, directly or indirectly.
Happy birthday to both your sons!
I love todays quote. It puts into words what I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to describe for 31 years.
together we wear our hearts outside of out body; I will help you protect your if you promise to help protect mine.
Love ya!
