Last week........ reality sets in

You ever have one of those weeks where you just want to put your bikes on Craigslist and eat bon bons instead of training? I usually don't have weeks like that but I often have days like that and I dislike the feeling.

I have lofty goals this year, the biggest one being the national para cycling team. If I can be classified, I think I can make it. The only problem with it is I cant seem to get a return call or email from the only person I know that has the information for the two classifiers in Vancouver. Sent two emails and left a voice mail but to no avail. Yesterday, I emailed the British Paracycling team to find out if I can get on their team. Haven't heard anything yet but I'm patient. I was browsing through old emails and found one from 2003. It was a response from the same guy I have been trying to get in touch with from the National Cycling Center. It too said he would be in touch with me after finding out something for me..... still waiting for that one too. I knew I heard his name before, just couldn't figure out where until the weekend.

Anyway, over a week has passed since I began writing this so I forget where I was going with the first paragraph but I'm hopeful as I keep writing, I remember......

Oh yeah, the bike thing. Last week, I only got in 108 miles over 6 hours. I felt pretty crappy about it. This week, however, started very well...... It started with a day off, HAHAHA. Well, I'm doing intervals now, unlike before when i was just riding to ride so my time on the trainer tonight wont be as boring.

Still don't remember where I was going with this post but it will come. until next time, bubye
