Weather/Spring Break

Weather is not so good in the DFW area right now. We are on our 3rd day of rain and it's cold by my standards. I've been stuck on the treadmill & the trainer for the last couple of days and I'm tired of it. I'm going to get out tomorrow and do my long run in the am and hopefully get in a trainer ride & swim in the afternoon and then I'll probably ride for 3.5-4 hours on Sunday. The weather is supposed to be much nicer on Sunday and I'm really looking forward to that.

Spring Break is upon us and the kids are pumped!!!! So no baseball, no school for one week. I'm going to take off on Wednesday and take the kids to Six Flags and then we are going camping at Lake Ray Roberts next Saturday. I love to go camping and so do the boys. Jennifer and Gage will come out there with us and then head home at night. Gage is not quite ready for tent camping. Speaking of Gage, his 1 year birthday is on Sunday. We have a small birthday party planned with a few friends and Jennifer is going to make her world famous gumbo.

This weather makes me lazy. I had to quilt myself into running today and the run was not so great. Note to self, don't drink V8 juice before attempting a 1:30 run on a treadmill. I was able to get in an hour before my stomach said "No Mas"..

I'm starting to plan for New Orleans. I'll pick up some new running shoes tomorrow, possibly new tri shorts and I'm going to schedule a "bike bath" at one of the area shops. My bike is filthy.

I'm not in the shape I was hoping to be in, but regardless I'm looking forward to going home and racing in front of friends and family and I'll have a new shirt to add to my rotation of triathlon shirts that according to my wife I wear every day :)
