Nothing to say really
So I realize the blog has been dormant for 3 weeks now and that I've likely lost any readers I may once have had. However, which is worse . . . no posts or posting when you have nothing to say. I'm sure there are many different opinions on that but today I've decided to post even though I really have nothing to say.
I have ridden a little but certainly not a lot. Last week I did ride my bike three times - the Mad FORCs Tuesday road ride, a very slow ride with 22 middle school kids and a Sunday trip to the Kettles to mountain bike. Riding at the Kettles confirmed my lack of bike fitness as it seemed to take a lifetime to complete the whole John Muir, connector trail, and Emma Carlin.
Ski School has started back up and I went once last week for the strength and flexibility testing. That was painful! I suck at push ups but I am not too bad at dips and I have moderately decent flexibility. Generally I have much room for improvement between now and winter. This week I hope to get out for an initial rollerski to fully kick off the start of the ski training season.
Other activities that are happening include planning for a trail run I'm organizing for August 16. I hope to finish up all the city paperwork this week so I can submit it for approval to have the run at Elver Park. Speaking of Elver Park I volunteered to be a part of a committee that is working on gaining approval to build some mountain bike trails there. I'm super excited about this opportunity and hope that it happens. More on that to come if all goes well.
USGP planning is in full swing and they will be back in town for another meeting later this month. Dirt Retreat planning is also in full swing and entries are starting to arrive in the mail and Alison Dunlap will be in town for that event again this year.
So to sum up . . . . I'm training very little -- just enough to stay healthy but not enough to get fast. All my events are moving forward. Oh yeah, and my swimming is progressing along and I foresee that in the not so far future I will actually be able to swim.
