Riding bikes!
I've ridden every day but 1 since 2/14. Valentine's Day. Isn't that sweet? My girl motivates me to ride. She does, it's really nice. Have to say that's a new thing for me, having someone encourage you to do something you enjoy. So some highlights right now...
* I've done 14 rides in the first 13 days of the month. Aiming for all 31.
* Got my first KOM yesterday of the year
* Last week I rode 12:53, which is the second most since Jan 1 of last year.
* I started doing intervals
On her side, today will be her 7th day in a row and 11th ride of the month. Last year she rode 0 miles through March. Right now she's up to 388.1 miles. By the end of the month she'll be over 500 and well on her way to that 3000 mile goal I set in front of her.
I'm not going to list out all the shit I've been doing. Been riding a lot, trying to get back into the groove. It's working, but I'm tired. This is expected.
We did a big team ride last Saturday and Lou ran into someone and never made it. We all know this already though. Andy joined and was nervous about the 3 hours but she did really well and is going to be too fast for me to say I'm on recovery rides with her for much longer.

Life is good. I'm tired. Still as happy as ever. Just thought I'd let you all know.
Had J last night. She's a bit sick but was ok this morning so I took her to school. I have her this weekend. This weekend is going to be crazy busy. That's good for her, because she loves doing things. Just need to make sure I sleep enough, which of course we never do. Oh well, life is for living. I'm guilty of that these days.
Other Random Things
* Jake says Bill & I owe someone an apology. I'll let him clarify.
* Thanks Pearl for the Bacon Pancakes
* To Mandi - I don't know why men shave their legs. I did it once to raise money for the site and it was really a chore, to say the least.
* In case you missed it, G points out this incredible song where Thom Yorke & PJ Harvey make music together:

* I found this surfing YouTube from the Bacon Pancakes:

* I listened to Rush a lot when I was younger. I liked them but I can't say their a band I listen to much now. I can't put them in a top 10 list for sure.
* I'm going to try to develop a Recovery program to help athletes track when they are tired and need rest. Eric O pointed me in this direction and I'm interested in exploring this. I need some volunteers. Raise your hand if you're interested.
