Hibernation?!?!?!?

Having a hard time trying to explain to myself this low level of motivation to huff and puff heavily for any length of time....Could have something to do with the fact that work does require me to drive 4 plus hours a day, gnerally 3 to 4 times per weeek....that could be contributing, but wouldn't change this in the slightest...big things happening here!! This lack of activity is quite evident when I have to adjust my caloric intake, actually be mindful of what I'm putting IN my body so that my body doesn't start to grow OUTwards ;)

Did get a 6 k run, more like an old man shuffle, in yesterday. Weather was absolutely pristine and would have been a great Mt. ride but truth be told....I don't have Durham forest, Albion Hills, blah blah blah in my back yard and it's starting to weigh in on me.

So it's official...no more Hot August? Putting a team in for Summer Solstice next year! Looking to get some of the local boys in for a fun time :) Making next year more of a social "race" scene. I'm done with solo entries...and this is why...the courses for 8 and 24 hour events are tame. So tame that when I ride anything with actual technical attributes, it makes me second guess....in other words....I've lost my "edge"..time to recapture it!!

Plan for weekend.....firstly, monitor my next day "stiffness" of the left achilles tendon that seems to be acting up now. Get another run in on Sunday. Build some serious storage options in the garage and just chill with my girls.

Really getting excited for the snow season, both downhill AND XC!!!!!

So, posts are going to dwindle a bit......no real "fitness goals" per say in the near future. Goal for winter is purely summed up in one word.....PLAY!!!!!
