Over already?

It's hard to believe that weekend is already over. Lately life has been stuck in fast forward and days turn into months and the months will turn into years. My weekend started off Friday after work with a nice easy 40 mile ride outside. Saturday was also a busy day. My friends Paul and Doug came over bright and early at 7:00 AM and we set off for a long ride. Things were going good until about 3 hours into the ride. Doug had some major bike issues to the point where he could no longer shift, and was stuck in the 11 cog. Around here it would be impossible to get home with only one gear so he called it quits and Paul and I rode on. We took the shortest way home but knowing Doug he'd find a way home before we did. Here he came blazing by in some ladies truck...whom I guess he hitch hiked with. I just laughed and kept going. So we finished up with a little over 4 hours for the day and a lot of climbing (including the famous 3 mile hill). This thing never ends!!!

As for today, Jen and I were up early again for our long run. Being only a week after the marathon, I was worried my legs wouldn't fair too well especially after a long ride, but it was quite the opposite. Even though I ran easy for 90 minutes, not once did I get cramped or sore. Very excited legs! Not long after I got home my friend Mike picked me up and we headed into town. The car left my house at 10AM in route to the Penguin game. We got some lunch at the local pizza shop and then watched an incredible hockey game. The Pen's won 3-2 in overtime and won the series four games to one against the Rangers. I'm looking forward towards the Eastern Conference Finals and wish them well!!!

Well it's now 6PM, and I still have to ride the trainer for an hour, eat dinner, and hopefully squeeze in a nap all before I go to bed.
