Keep'n on keep'n on

Since the last blog I supose not a ton has happened but here you go anyway.




A few weeks ago I accomplished the monumental feat of watching the Rocky series (I-V anyway) in less than a week, and the real kicker was when I tackled III, IV and V back to back to back. No, I'm not letting on to how much excessive free time I have, just how much time I've been spending in the basement on my bike in front of the TV. For the marathon session I had to pound out a 5-hour ride inside and the pain of that much Rocky actualy made me forget I was even still on my bike. Pocatello hasn't been a pleasent place to train lately. I've made it outside for a grand total of 2 rides this year (the only 2 since September or October of last year) the rest has all been either in my basement or a couple have been in the basement of a local bike shop with a couple other folks.




Do you know that feeling you get when you're walking around the local D.I. and you spot some thing you have to have and you'd be willing to pay ten times the humble asking price if needed? A couple days ago I had that moment when I spotted an old school Power Pad for the NES! And just to prove that miracles do happen I just happend to have an NES at home with a game (Super Team Games) made for the Power Pad! I've now decided I need to find some way to work it into my bike training schedule, and judging by how exausted I got playing it earier this evening it will be great for maxing out my heart rate.




Hmmmm, what else.......... Oh, I got our tax return this week. That was exciting, it would have been realy fun to blow it all on something really cool but in the long run I think I'm better off with having used most of it to zero out my credit cards and pay off some hospital bills from Susie's birth.




Like always Kayla's blog has all the recent happenings with Susie (like here finaly getting a hang of the rolling over thing).
