It has been at least two weeks since my last outdoor ride. In that time I have viewed several hours of Bike Porn and coveted white Sidi shoes. I have blogged and consumed Belgian ale. I have missed Spin Class and Core Class replacing it with one indoor trainer ride and dog walks. And, I do not anticipate it getting better over the next couple week with the onset of siblings.
So Father, have you heard the one about...

Funkin' Day
Yesterday was just one of those days -- I was in a real funk for no particular reason, just couldn't shake it. I feel a little burned at work, but not less than anyone else. Down a man I am putting out a few more fires. Underlying concerns about Emily's hips, surgery, another dog kind of pick away at me too.
So, that attitude had to change. I got home and readied the trainer. I put on the new Nashbar wheel stand with climbing blocks, locked in the Trek, got on the Nano and the readers so I could fuss with the Trek Incite ACH computer and instructions. I had a really decent spin - one hour. Poured out a lot of tension and sweat to some good tunes. I cannot for the life of me figure out the new cyclometer though, it just defies logic (and instructions). I am about to give up on it and look into the Garmin. Thoughtful gift -- just isn't giving back.
BTW on the thought of a tattoo -- my best bet is to get a Chia Pet so I can watch hair grow back through it -- yuck!
For some inspired reading and a VERY challenging ride on the Ididarod read this link.

I Got Nothin'
With a late night Friday, Saturday Spin Class was cancelled due to sleep. After a great dinner Saturday with ToDawgz, Sunday ride was cancelled due to sleep (and too much great red wine:-)
I should feel guilty but I don't. I think my body needed the rest. I am getting near the time that I must get serious about training to have decent distant rides this year, but I have a little time -- like hitting the snooze button on the alarm. I needed to rest a nagging knee too. Nothing much, just some tenderness.
Still searching for Emily's new "sister". She has been showing some signs of discomfort in her hips though. I have to call the vet and figure out what our next steps will be.
