20 mile spin, ready for big run Saturday
12.15.07
Friday morning I begrudgingly got out of bed and got on the bike. Another big day filled with too many commitments and the need to catch up on things at work. Pounded a few strong , black cups of my legal drug and climbed on. It was an easy spin but I just didn’t want to do anything but lay in bed with the dogs.
By the time I finished my bike, I felt awake and ready to attack the day which I did until about 7pm when I started to fade fast. BJ and I carbo loaded for Rudolph’s Revenge today which we are getting ready for now and watch the last two episodes of the Sopranos saga. Carm, Sil, Bobby, Paulie, Tony….the girls at the Bing - I’m going to miss you guys!
Beej just went to Cafe Sole for 2 tall black ones to get things started and we’ll be outta here in about a half hour. I have 16 miles today so I’ll be warming up before and then doing the course twice. We’ll see how that goes, I’m shooting for 56 minutes for the actual race. I know that is slow on many levels but hey, this stuff is all relative. So for me to put down 9 minute miles and have an additional 10 miles on top of it will be a great day for me. Its snowy and freezing but I’m embracing the elements and I’m sure that will be a big part of my success today.
