Week in Review
All things considered not a bad week. The usual exhaustion from a week including a nite at the other place..Tony's. Reached all my training goals. Received the Shimano M300 in the mail and they were a great pair of shoes except for one thing..they didn't fit. Excel was all out of the next smaller size so had to return them . SIDI's pair number six on the way. Scored the Dominator 6's at a "good " price. Damn expensive shoes but go with what you know. I've been riding SIDI's from the begining no sense trying to switch now.
Valentines Day while usually quite lamo was actually really nice this year. Valentine's Day for us has always been about the kids. This year we went to Maggianos and it was great. Sam had mostaccoli but was really psyched about getting "squid". He loved the calamari. Nikki chcen fingers as usual. We also scarfed down 4 servings of bread w/ evoo and vinegar w/ a little parmasagne cheese sprinkled on top. Me and Virg split baked ziti and some chicken linguine w/ olive oil. Chianti, a Guneiss, a canoli, some cheesecake, a little apple strudel thing and some chocolate cake and we were stuffed. A great time. Tour of Cali is on tv now so off to the races..

Glad to be Back
There was a minor setback. Nikki crashed the laptop and we had to send it to Best Buy to have the HD backed up the to HP to get it fixed. Not totally Nikkis fault. I think the laptop was heading in that direction anyways. He just gave it a push.
Quick update on the last month then hopefully at least a weekly post. Biggest news is that on Monday this week Nikki actually swam on his own with no help from the instructor. I think good 'ol Sammy is not far behind. He's just a little anxious.
As of today the snow is pretty much all gone. I was able to get in much more xc skiing this year.
kinda knocked off the running lately due to lack of time. Swimming once a week on fridays, trainer workouts and a few outside rides, also been getting the weights in regularly (2 x week).
So even though not all on the bike I've been keeping up my wo hrs.
Started a training program developed by Andy Applegate via training peaks. Not real big on these but they do provide a guideline. Considering using Brian Conant later in the year. We'll see how this goes. No more CycleSmart for sure.
Niece did awesome in the spelling bee...Nikki and Sam are reading lots of books and doing very well in school oh and lets not forget to give props to Virginia for keeping to a wo schedule of 4 days/week. Looking good!
Booked Spring Break vaca for Colorado..
Last but not least a beer report...
Duvel good, light in color but strong taste, bubbles like champange. Not my favorite.
Leffe Blonde - very good, small bottles (11.2 oz what's with that), lots of flavor
Witte from Ommegang Brewery,Cooperstown NY - two thumbs up, like a dirty blonde, yeasty
Hennepin from Ommegang Brewery, Cooperstown NY - two thumbs up, wheat-ish
Rare VOS from Ommegang Brewery, Cooperstown NY - two thumbs up, really good!
