Week in Review

Another week of rest and relaxation is done. I’m getting pretty darn accustomed to this non-training stuff…..


KJ’s school choir sang Christmas carols at a local shopping market Thursday night. It’s just what I needed to get me in the holiday spirit. It seems like summer just ended….



Next on the agenda was KJ’s book parade Friday. They dress as their favorite book character and then parade through the school. It’s a pretty funny sight. K’s favorite character is Junie B. Jones. She has ALL of the Junie B. books.


I decided it was time to do some sort of actual training. An easy 3 miler Friday afternoon seemed like a good way to get things rolling again. For the first 10 minutes it was awesome. Then my ITB woke up and started rebelling. It hurt pretty badly during the remaining 22 minutes of the run. I think I’ll stick to swimming and biking for next week.



The Indians came to town Saturday…literally. Albany hosts an Indian festival each year and we went out to watch some of the festivities.


Saturday night we grilled hot dogs (the dietary debauchery continues) and then fired up the chimenea out on the patio to make smores.



I’d almost gone to sleep when the flash woke me up….


I plan to get in a couple of short swims and bikes next week. Otherwise, I’ll be grazing on a Thanksgiving feast…or two....

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving,
TJ

I can handle the shorts but Christmas carols before Thanksgiving?? That's just not right ;-)

Hope you have a good Turkey Day!

yep. getting to wear shorts most of the year is one of the benifits of living down here.
and yeah, chritmas seems to come earlier every year. some of the stores around here had christmas stuff out before halloween.

Enjoy the dietary debauchery :-) Plenty of time to get back out on the road, or the pool as it will!

I believe discussion of smores and hot dogs is officially considered taunting.

Rest is good. Eating devilish foods might be better.
Training will always be there. Its in your DNA, its in my DNA. All of us endurance crazies have training DNA
good luck
