I sat on the bike today.....first time in about 3 weeks. Not sure why I picked today to get that going again....perhaps the Christmas tree that appeared in my living room that moved the bike and trainer to a different spot peaked my curiosity to see if I still enjoyed indoor riding. Lucky me, I do.
Its a little tree that fits perfect in the small room, I couldn't be happier to have a tree in the house
However, as bad as this morning started out, yesterday morning was great. Nice sunny skies, a great breakfast at Our Kitchen, a cute little diner in the Uptown area, and as always, way way to much food to consume. Judging by the photo below you can understand the amount of food this place serves.....but its so good.
The pancake that you sub for toast, yep, bigger than my face!!
Race mode and mood is starting to show its smug face again as well. We had a team meeting a few weeks ago to discuss the up coming season and that always gets me wanting to train and race. I have a marathon coming up in a few weeks, my average run volume a week is about 15 miles, and most of those come on during the Saturday morning group run...its going to be the best "fun run" ever. It might even beat the Sioux City half that I trained even less for....but I will have my same running partners and this time I promise to finish with her, not take off with a mile left.

Hey, I love your little tree! Nice to see you update your blog, always entertaining!
Good luck on that Marathon of yours, sounds like fun. I can only assume your going somewhere warm as to not run a marathon in sub zero temps and winds??
I love your tree! This weather does suck! Fortunately, I only have a couple hours left of work and have been doing my best not to exit my squad :) Go figure...Keeping the tires on the road and upright! See ya at swim sometime this week!
Oh, that breakfast was ssssooooo good!! We have to go there again ASAP.
"Fun run" = warm temps, Mickey Mouse, bright sunshine, the Most Magical Place on Earth as the back drop, and last but not least your favorite running partner...PERFECTION no matter what the finish time.
That's a Charlie Brown X-mas tree, I love it!
Mmm...Our Kitchen. Man I miss that joint!
It's not Ice & Snow, but my 2-hour 30k run on Sunday was in the blowing wind and rain. I'll take it over MN weather any day!
