Sick Kids... Home Early..
Well did manage to piddle around outside.. clean yesterdaze ride off the bike. Should lube. Always good to use lube before you rub.
Ran the vacume. Ate an Icecream sandwich, fed the little one some Tylenol, let the dog out.
Took a short little jog 10 to 15 min down the road and back.
Ate some peanut Butter and Jelly and nacho's and watched last week's episode of the Soprano's.
All in a Day's non work.
OH and I should mention it was rather drizzly out.

After work at the KSF
04.18.07 Kanwha State Forest
Another Nice Day... Had to pick up the girls at 7:45, thus decided to take a spin out at the KSF after work.
Awsome Day..
Basically parked at the pool did the Davis Creek Trail - lower portion, then up Middle Ridge fire road, and did the Middle Ridge trail, afterwards.. thought about going down Black Bear, but decided to just cruise out the fire road, and then down through the Camping Area, and back to the pool via the upper section of the Davis Creek trail.
14miles total, 1hr 45.
Afterwards, picked the girls up and home for some pilsners and a Red Baron Pizza

3 Weeks and Counting
Yes, it's been about 3 weeks since my last post.
In that time, not really much has happened. But here's a short rundown, and hope to have some more timely posts coming soon...
First, I did manage to reach 225lbs by March... So that's about 25lbs of fat off my frame since January. Now unfortunately since that lofty goal, I haven't really lost much. I've been too busy relishing in that success that I may have gained a pound or two. Sure enough, the recreational beverages have picked up. YUMMY.
However I did step on the scale today, and I'm still hovering around the 224 to 225 range. 215lbs by June is the next goal. To attain that goal, I started keeping track of everything this week. So far so good, although, did pig out on some Ruffles chips and Kraft French Onion dip there one night. But what's wrong with a binge or two here and there????
So let's go back a ways... My last post was back around March 20th or so.. I've posted some pics on Flicker from the St. Patrick's Day Party.

That week I managed to ride about 62 miles, had to mow grass for the first time - this takes me about 3 hours. So I included it in my time and logged it as walking. Everybit counts. Also managed to get some jogging in.
03.26.07
This next week was my first week of Build I think. Build I. Planned for 11 hours and actually got that in. Basically from "the Plan"... I have to work out harder. More hill climbs and sustained efforts in Zones 3 to 5. It's lovely and it sucks. Nevertheless the summary is:
122 miles on the bike, 10 miles MTB, and 6 miles of jogging. Not to mention some weight workouts. All good.
04.02.07
Easter Week... oh what a long week this was. My better half was fed up with all the riding. Had class in morgantown.. was able to get a 2+ hour MTB ride in at Cooper's Rock. Then did some easy Rail Trail riding. Agreed to reduce the plan some. So well that will allow more time with the better half and hers.
Totals: 60 miles riding, 10 on the MTB, but again I included my 3 hours of mowing (for the second time) in this.
04.09.07
This week I had thoughts of racing the Mountwood Race on Sunday the 14th. But lucky for me a NorEaster moved in and my fairweather racing ability prevented me from even thinking about attending that. However Diesel and A'hole did do the Dragon's Back race in Virginia... Check those out. Most of the rides were on the road or trainer
Summary: 105 miles of riding. No runs.. just looking at the rain.
So no fancy pics this post.. No nothing.... No news on the 24 hours....it's getting close.
