Yawwwwwn...need an injection of fun man!

Monday gym, Wednesday.....same and am about to meet a couple twisted souls in my garage for a spin. Highlight will be listening to Fil recall his exploits climbing mountains in Africa, safari, and skiing in Colorado since he last punched in to the sweat shop. An impromptu email to another twisted soul has a group of three congregating and giving copious donations of sweat to the cold floor. Gym tomorrow with the honey and then orientation time for oldest at Batawa...first day on DH skiis Sunday...a good weekend. Why am I not having a beer or a glass of wine....riiiiight...I have to spend an hour plus sweating in a cold garage...better sweep out the sand and crap accumulated from weeks of wife's parking inside of it...the nerve?!?!?! :) So it happened...just finished a great meal and figa'd I'd have a solid 30 min laydown before the mangy maniacs showed up for the 7 pm spin....6:23...lay on couch....fleece blanket juuuuust pulled over and about to exhale slowly when....*knock knock knock*...FIl shows up. Time to flick some switches in the brain! Shaun shows up a few minutes early....appears the boys are anxious to get the show on the road!! As I was going to the gym tomorrow (actually today as I'm writing this end of post) and these guys haven't spun some cranks in a while...the decision of what video should have been an easy one...UPHILL GRIND! But...not to be found...grrr. I made the mistake of putting in a "Recovery and Technique" dvd when FIl ripped me up and down for being a panzy....this is why he is part of our elite crew....we all need to drive each other at times ;) He made the decision, a good one at that, to swap out this with Mental Toughness. What does this mean...well instead of a 45 min vid that would have been a smart re-intro to spinning cranks, it became and hour and a half of some anaerobic threshold training. Fil made the mistake of making a comment early that "well...we can only do the hour and that should be good"...what do you think I said....that's right.....we all finsihed the full VID!!!! 1 hr 41 min starting at 7:09 pm on a FRIDAY!! 1037 calories...replenished with two creemore with the crew....silly max 174 or 93% avg 76% or 142...perrrrfect In zone 103-168 = 1 hr 31 min 9 am gym session with the wifey while kids play in the Jump room....hopefully they have TSN on one of those TV's as I think I need to just "punch in" this morning. Skiing tomorrow with Lauren and then stay on the path. It appears the boys think Friday evenings will be the most convenient time to get together for spins......I have no choice but to obey ;) We make up a tough congregation
