starting with tomorrow. then on saturday, code camp. Probably not the way most would spend their Saturday, but oh well. good learning and networking opportunity. then on sunday Paris Rubaix aka Hell of the North. What an epic race that is. Finally some rain to break the heat. April, and we already are struggling with heat. Nice weather is on the way.
My wife is taking the girls to the zoo tomorrow. She’s real excited. I cant make it, but even if I could, I think its a girls day out. that’s alright, if everything goes well tomorrow, I can just start celebrating on my own. It’s a secret to be explained later.

the problem is

that the more fit you get the harder you have to work to maintain that level of fitness. So here now is the problem…time. It takes a lot of time to maintain this level. And as you miss, skip workouts, you lose your form, then when you do get out there, you feel like shit. When you have a crappy session because your out of shape, it demoralizes you. Yes it does give you a bit of motivation, but realistically it makes you wonder if its worth all the hard work to get it back, when you know that given some time, you’ll be right back in this same spot.

Bottom line….as you get older, its just seems that its easier to just be a ‘normal’ guy cause realistically, no one cares if you can run, bike, whatever for whatever distance in whatever time.

Can you tell I had one of these ‘sessions’…

away, but in the same place

… lights are out and feeling your way along. You can feel where you’re going, but still just not quite sure. You know, you’re doing everything you feel you need to; slow calculated steps, cautious but brave maneuvering,a slight hesitation only to ensure you’re actions are in cohorts with the brain…or not. Don’t think too much, or you may find yourself right back where you started.

1) Daughters are beautiful. Have reached to 10lb mark.

2) Another big snowstorm at our doorstep. 14 – 20 inches in our area expected

3) No job yet

4) Superbowl weekend

5) Got a ticket for expired inspection and registration. Only 2 days past expiration. Told officer was just crazy busy with the new triplets, thought would get me some sympathy and get off with a warning. No! What an ****! He didn’t even let me go on one of them, gave me a ticket for both. That’s okay, karma’s a bitch.

See ya later…

BCS Championship showdown…tonight! I don’t necessarily have a favorite, maybe I lean more towards Alabama. Hope the game lives up to the hype!
