Biggest, Strongest, Fastest Loser

Why am I sitting here watching biggest loser?
I mean, I respect the fact that these people are trying to improve their lives, and in fact DO lose tons of weight, but, I dunno, I'd rather watch Bear Grylls or something. I like survival oriented reality shows.
Anyways... The girls somehow got control of the remote tonight so Biggest Loser it is.

We had another good ride this morning. I'm getting STRONGER!! I am finally feeling like I did before the foot accident. I'm back to being the fastest rider in our group (brag brag). Hehe!

The friend I rode with yesterday, whom I am NOT faster than, says my bike is set up for comfort, not speed. This is GREAT news. I'd rayed be fast than comfortable. We're going to try and hook up on a trainer to get the best fit. It will require taking the bike apart and rebuilding it. I'm all for it.

Tomorrow is a swim/elliptical day. I'm ready to extend that workout. Hopefully I can hang.

Did a killer, KILLER 40 mile ride today.
A friend and I road this morning in the Woodlands area north of Houston.
The route we took is actually part of the Official Ironman Texas route. Pretty cool... and hilly.
A VERY good workout. I was completely bonked by the end of the ride. By that I mean, drained of all energy. I got home and had a protein rich lunch, and basically tried to eat anything within arms reach for the rest of the day.
By the time I got to the gig, I was feeling somewhat better. It was the bi-monthly Women's conference.

Anyway, good day, and I am BEAT!

Oh, and here is my beautiful wife. Best photo I've ever taken.

Totally Cool

-Jammed some good music today with a good band.

-Ate at an incredible little pizza joint in old Houston called Pink's Pizza. Goooood stuff!

-Slew my wife with some well timed, poetic words and got all emotional.

-Took Tristan to the indoor gun range where we prepared ourselves for the HipHop Zombie Apocalypse of 2012.

-Had a pretty cool rehearsal with another band for a little gig tomorrow night.

-Set up a cool, long bike ride with an old friend in the Woodlands tomorrow. It'll be on the Texas Ironman Course. Gonna be fun.

-Finally got to watch an edited for TV version of "Children Of Men" with Tristan. He loved it.

It's been a great day leading into a good tomorrow.

It Was Good

I had a great day today.
Started off the morning with a 40 mile bike ride that, even though wasn't my fastest speed, felt responding to get back under my belt.
While I'm off work, there really is no excuse for not riding at least 40 miles from now on... at least while I'm off work. I've got nothing but time.

Later in the day, Tristan and I did some yard work that has been needing to get done. Surprisingly, he did it without any fuss at all. We just worked and talked about movies. Good bonding time.

After that, some family came over and we grilled ribs, chicken, hot links, burgers, and all the trimmings. I was STARVING! I still don't think I am anywhere close to recovering the calories from the bike ride, 2.5 hours was probably around 1800-2200 calories burned. Ugh. I feel like I've been bonking (exhaustion) all day.

Like I said, it's been a great day.

A Whole Lot

Well I did a whole lot of nothing today.
The thing about doing nothing is that there is nothing to write about.
I DID do a 25 mile ride this morning, but I've already talked about that so much.
To prove it, I will now tell you about the 40 mile bike ride I'm going on tomorrow.
It's a group ride at 7:30am. I'm feeling pretty good about it even though I haven't been on one in several months. Should be fun.

I had fish for dinner.
