Saturday 2:00 Ride

Went out on my first group ride of the season. First off, it felt good to get out and see some friends. I did not ride much in the group last year and missed it dearly. Going with the short group (35 miles) was just enough. I feel good and hope to get out tommorrow for a lap in the park.
See you.

Sick Day #2

Valentines day at daycare. It is all Myles has talked about for a week. He is feeling better so he went. I don't think I could have kept him home if I wanted to. Holly's still sick so I kept her home. She and I went to Costco and saw G-Pa. That wore her out and she is sleeping in her crib. It has been a good day so far.

What I 've been up to.

I have been working a ton. Saturday Mornings are Swimming lessons. Sunday Morning is Sunday School and Church. Then on Sunday afternoon, Andrea and I take the kids to lifetime to the open swim or Maple grove pool. They love the water and it wears them out. I have really been focusing on being a good dad and husband. I'm not always successful but I think I'm doing alright. Andrea and I are going to Cabo in April so we have really cleaned up our diet and have dropped a few pounds. I am working out consistently but not for super long periods. Biking season will be a challenge as I am not spending hours on the bike. Very short frequent sessions. I am doing push ups and sit ups every night and weights a couple times a week. It doesn't leave me starving and makes it easier to avoid gorging myself. It seems counterintuitive but the reality is I don't have the time for long cardio sessions and don't really like to spend my only free time blowing myself up. I can hardly wait for the good weather to come. I really miss my roadbike. I think I am going to get the mountain bike tuned up and ride that this spring. It will be a good break. I hope everyone is doing well.
