New Addition

No, not more kids... Hopefully Big Danny B. will become a regular on my Saturday morning ride. Great ride, great weather, great day to be outside. Tomorrow there is a group ride 9am, Market Place, Columbia Illinois. Ideally it will be over 3 hours. Hopefully closer to 4 or more. Should be a hoot.

Getting back on track is tough. Finally getting my stuff together for '06. The drunken binge weekends are officially over. Now I just have to get rid of all the Halloween candy. I have the materials for my '06 training plan together and should have a schedule completed to take me to Joe Martin in May by the end of the weekend. I will be riding Sunday 11/06/05 at 9am from the Market Place in Columbia Illinois. Chris B and Artsy Karl are supposed to be there. Maybe we’ll get more sleet…


Sure wish I was back there...

Weekend Recap

Friday, I got out of work early picked up my dog and headed out to the farm. Plan was to get the field and corral ready for the cows as well as build up the burn pile for the Halloween hay ride in two weeks. Oh yeah and party with the fam-damily. My uncle always has a keg tapped for us as well as a nice assortment of hard liquor for shooting. Kinda got drunk Friday.

Saturday, ate some breakfast drank a sports drink and went to work with my cousins and Uncle. Started drinking at lunch with constant refills from my Aunt in the field while we worked. Drinking and working progressed until dinner where we played cards, drank beer, and finished off as much of the old booze as we could handle.

Sunday, finished work in field and corral, had lunch and drove home.

Long story short, mega guys weekend at the farm lots of work, lots of brew and lots of fun. Not good for training, but eveyone needs to unwind. Last mega drinking weekend before serious '06 training is the Halloween Hay Ride at the farm Oct. 29 and 30.

Same Old, Same Old

Highlight of the day was siting on my trainer for an hour. Cards lost and I still weigh over 175 lbs.

Run With Speed Work

Had a half day off work to help take the triplettes to the doctor. Four shots each. Thank God for insurance. Ran to the local public school to do some intervals on the track @ 400meters each. Not sure the distance though.

Big Fat Fatty

No, I'm not talking about Karl Stover. I weighed myself today and was not prepared for the results. 176 lbs. HOLY CRAP! So, yeah I started riding again today. One whole hour on the trainer. I'm such a bitch.

So, I'm on a new team for '06. I'll post the name of the new team/club after it has been finalized with USCF. With a lot of work from Chris Brewer and assistance from our staggering ten'ish members we are on our way. The first official team meeting was last night. Lets just say it ain't no Dent Wizard budget. Fortunately the shop is being most generous and we have a good group of guys. Our Cat 3 team should be pretty strong again.
