"Winter Cycling"

I laugh at myself now as a I reflect back on my plan to ride outside all winter. I don't remember a recent winter with such a stretch of crappy weather as we've had. I would be very stressed if I didn't have an indoor option. Even though it's a bit tedious at least I get some workouts in. I spent a decent 2 1/2 hours on the trainer, and then swam 1500 metres. My new goggles were perfect but I left the wetsuit tryout until I get back from mexico. Overall a decent day.

Tomorrow I'm supposed to do a longer run, so I hope things change a lot overnite. It is still very unpleasant out there.

Unfortunately I don't have much time to blog as it's already 10:30 and these 2 just went home. Have I told you recently just how grateful I am for them, and grateful to their parents for sharing them with us. Thanks Mom and Dad.



That's about it for today. I would just share one of those good news/ bad news kind of moments that I had this morning, while still curled up in bed with my wife. She told me it seemed so much bigger and harder than before.... it took me a moment to realize she was talking about my left hamstring muscle.

I wish to dedicate day 122 to my friend the Rev Tom Baird...a very decent man!

I am very fortunate that my grandchildren, Colby and Kylie, ar so much a part of our lives. Kudos to their parents for sharing them with us. It is indescribable feeling, but all I know is that they have changed the way I look at life.

As for Pastor Tom, I cannot agree more! His wife is also a decent person, and they have both given me hope that not all men who are messengers of the higher power are assholes like the ones Pete alluded to in previous blogs.
