SWWW
We were somewhere before Xmas, aside from that little interlude above. I think I mentioned something about going away, and the New Normal taking effect after the new year at some point. Well, the holidays are done, and it's a new year. So...now what?
I suppose I should talk about a few obvious things. Like maybe riding bikes?
Riding Bikes
The last time I rode a bike was 12/20 with Andy. I know, it's been a long time. With the holidays I had J a lot, then I wasn't motivated much at all for some of the time in there, then I was out of town, then when I was back in town I was really busy, and then this past weekend I had J, and...I know, bunch of excuses. But this is a good time of the year for excuses, right?
Golf balls, that's what Eric replied to me a few days ago when I told him I haven't been riding. Focus on the golf balls and riding will come in time.
We're going riding again tonight, Andy & I.
Montreal
So the day after Xmas I made my way up to Montreal to spend some time with Andy. Ok, the 3% of you who haven't figured things out can fast forward to the next section I suppose, then come back and read this. Well, really there's not much to read. She is Canadian, and went up to spend the holidays with her family. After Christmas we spent some time together in the city, where there was a lot of snow.
Snow is a different ballgame up there. It snows, a LOT.
We had some good times up there and it was nice to see where she's spent much of her life before coming down to NJ. I know, this has nothing at all to do with biking nor exercise nor training. But I know you guys all come here for the entertainment value. And, well, since this is all part of my life going forward, it's going to make more sense if I'm just open to talk about things that I do on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis.
So with that, for the 3%...
Coming Clean 2
Yes, Andy and I are in a relationship. I think she's the most wonderful woman in the world. I'll spare you all the sappy details but I'll say that I'm incredibly happy. Normally stuff like this wouldn't make it to a training blog. But you know how it is. Life and riding bikes are sort of inter-twined and since I ride bikes with her a lot, it only makes sense for me to be honest with stuff. It will make writing here a lot easier, since we spend a lot of time together and all that.
The microwave was for her. So no, I don't really need 2. Well, I do need a second one if I plan on cooking something at her place in the microwave.
Oh, and her name isn't really Andy. But I think most of you know that already.
The New Normal
So this is it, the New Normal. It's not really going to be "normal" for a while but it will be more normal than the past few months I'd say. 2012 was a year of change, to be sure. Andy says that at the start of last year, I said something like I expected the year to be one of change. I guess I really had no idea just how much.
Well, 2013 is going to be a great year. In fact, I expect it to be ridiculously awesome. I'm sure I'll tell you all about it as it happens.
I know, nobody will know what to say to this post. Utah will tell me this offline. But I know it already. So if you like, reply in haiku. Or something. Or check out the pic below.
