Good Morning

I'm a little out of sorts but the general feeling of a vacation still doesn't entirely agree with me, maybe I can find a bike and ride up a volcano or something. It's weird to be without kids or a bike.

May

Hoping the 2nd half of whatever you call the last bits of winter (yeah, winter, it snowed yesterday) before spring or maybe we skip right to summer offers health and miles. Sickness is for the weak, Speed and Tempo make for better results. We'll what kind of work can be done over a week away.

The a.m.

I managed to get a great little case of Bronchitis. Hooray! I know now what it feels like to breathe through a straw for 4 days. Finally a little light is peeking out at the end of the tunnel. I just hope it's not a freight train coming the other way.

Real

There is very little putting the internal dialogue on mute right now. I would call it disquieting, good things on the plate but good things left behind. The overwhelming sense of mortality creeps up and tackles me. I don't think I ever had that young, invincible feeling, I think I knew...it's going to be quick, enjoy it while you can. A big treat isn't such a treat if you don't take it.

Monday

Keeping track of everything I could, I thought I had it lined up, I missed one and a little cold snuck into the system, first time being sick since the summer. Being weakened by the bug, taking away the time on the bike. This week up high, next week at sea level if the legs and system allow.

Once again jumping thru the windows the weather, the body and the family form.
