You Know It's Been Too Long

I know I repeat myself a lot here on this blog. I'm a man of routine. It's a Mahokey curse (along with a laundry list of other things). But today I was Googling some info pertaining to the title I ALMOST gave today's blog entry and found that I ALREADY USED IT LIKE 2 YEARS AGO!! WTF? I'm an idiot! I know, I know, you knew that! BUT you're reading this anyway!! So who's the idiot NOW?? Yeah, I KNOW it's STILL me!!! ;)

Anyway, the title was going to refer to the fact that today's weather was much like a fresh dog turd. All warm, steamy and just a bit wet. Despite today's dog turdish weather, I had good legs for my 40 mile loop. I somehow avoided the rain showers that moved through the area, and busted out a good loop with an average speed of 16.9 MPH. I used to do this loop closer to 17.5+ MPH, but that was pre-compact crank. Now sometimes going down hill I'm giving it all I got, but reach a limit on what speeds 50/12 will let me bust. I'm sure as hell not gonna bitch too much though, because my about to turn 37 year old body is loving 34/25!! HA!

I had a great week in the saddle (hour wise) I think I broke 10 hours, which for a working, married, shlep is pretty good. I would have liked to have done the WVMBA race today, but I don't want to lose sight of my season's goal- Bust 12+ laps at Seven Springs and carry enough mojo with me to do Iron Cross and some Month O'Muds.

I've broken my new rule of beer only on Friday &/or Saturday already! I blame Wifey (as usual). As you saw yesterday, she bought me a KILLER six pack of Belgies and Hoppy goodness. I'm calling it a post anniversary/pre birthday celebration. Plus alcohol is one of the 3 major keys (outside of love and a nice rack) to a successful marriage. What are the other two you ask? Easy, pornography and anti-depressants!! I'm KIDDING!! It's all love baby. But I gotta tell you, the other shit does help! HA!

Riccardo Riccò has to go. I totally dig and respect the fact that this 24 year old has now won 2 stages of the Tour BUT I CAN NOT hear his friggin' name without thinking of THIS!.....

I REALLY don't want to think about that. EVER!! I would rather think about JUST about anything else. Including- Bestiality, repeating high school, DNFing races, and hard core porn starring morbidly obese fat people and/or midgets.

Great weekend here. I hope you all had a good one and got in some nice mileage. Rest day tomorrow.

Later.
