A Little Secret

I have a SECRET... the kind that will be exciting for me if it comes true… will change my plans for next year… will afford me the opportunity to serve my community in new ways… develop some new bike skills with races and time trails and training camps…. Oh how I want to share it all with you this very minute but I must wait until I get notification. It may come today…tomorrow…but it will arrive sometime this week. Good or bad I will share. I took a leap of faith and stepped out of my comfort box on this one now I must wait and see.

The Thanksgiving holiday was good. My cold prevented me from really wanted to over eat and I still managed to get in lots of riding. The snots rockets were flying so I apologized in advance to anyone that rode with me…including Scott. It was gross but did the trick in clearing my head.

I nailed my training runs as well. For the first time I am incorporating tempo runs and last week called for the first one. I hit the target paces and was thrilled to have completed it.

First ever Tempo run:

Mile 1 (warm up) – 9:38

Mile 2 – 8:33

Mile 3 – 8:38

Mile 4 – 8:31

Mile 5 (cool down) – 9:41

Now onto a new week.

I have something so exciting to say in response it will change my life :D .... but I can't say it just yet! ROTFLMFAO. Nice to hear that breathless tone again though.

I just love your enthusiasm Robin, but you are just shameless. I'm sure you have a long and prosperous career hawking stocks for Wall St if you want it.

Best of luck, and sorry to hear about the cold. Fighting off the flu here and damned tired of doing it, so very happy to hear you are well again.
