Back to Laveen
I finally got back on the bike yesterday for an 85 miler. A bit long when I have not been on the bike for a few weeks. The weather was amazing and I actually felt pretty good. I got dropped by a couple of groups but my goal was just to get some time on the bike. A few more weekends to go before the Tour....If I can get out a few more times I think I will be ready. Unfortunately my wing man "Beecher" won't be able to make it out for this one. I will wear something in honor of him for the ride...maybe a steelers terrible towel or something STP. Gonna miss ya Beecher....
I feel this will be my last ride of the year and will most likely take some time off until Jan 1st for the Tortilla Flats ride. I might just ride once a week to keep the wheels greased.
I have been in CA all week and it was good to get back home. Will the Deal is growing so fast. He is a bit of a spazz and makes himself spit up all over the place. So far I have been able to avoid the bombings...but K has had a couple of direct hits. SJ was nice but hectic at work.
Last week my older Sister graduated from nursing school. A big achievement for her working full time, going to school and attending all her boyz events. I am really proud of her and I can feel her sigh of relief to be done. We went to her party and she seemed like a load was lifted. Way to go Mel!!! We are so proud of you. Now we can call you and ask what is the growth on the side of my kids head.
10K master -
Last week K also ran her first 10K. I was so proud of her as well. I knew she could do 5K which is what she wanted to sign up for...but she was open to trying the 10K. I can ride 100's of miles on my bike but I struggle to run 2 miles. I used to run 10K's as a kid. My dad would just sign me up and I would run. I just loved the competition against the clock and self. i have a ton of good memories of these races and K added to them. It was fun to cheer her and Danni along. Thanks Danni for running with her...I know she enjoyed it. Maybe one day I will get up to 6 miles again and do a race with her....until then, I will stick to my bike and cheer others along. Anyway, back to K and how proud I am of her. She is now talking about doing a 1/2 marathon in Jan. I now believe her.
Went to Pete's Yesterday before the ASU game. I just love Pete's onion rings and sauce. Never gets old. How about a Pete's out here in the Chandler area???? No comment on the ASU game.....just waiting for next year...
