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!
