So far this week is going great. I worked from home Monday to order the bikes, which means I didn’t swim (since the good pool is by work). But for once I didn’t then blow it off! Tuesday morning found me in the water being all fishlike (or at least attempting to be). I also…

It’s that time… when not only is there an ended month to look at the numbers from, but also an ended year! I’ll start off the good news with my December GPS totals (bike and run only for now, as the swim ones are not in the GPS log). This includes all my biking and…

Not that I was really gone that long, but I took a break from most things computer (other that minimal work) for a week as well. And now… I’m back! Highlights of the holiday seasion included taking Mike home to my parents (he’d met my dad and stepmom before, but this was his first time…
