turning the page

Last week I was on a post-PMBAR race high and frantically trying to cram for final exams. The good thing was that all three finals were on Tuesday after the race so I got them over with all at once. The bad thing was that they were all on Tuesday after the race.

Ah, well. School is over until August and I am just happy that I survived the first year. Only 3+ more years to go.

After PMBAR and my irritated knee incident, my coach and I decided it would be a good idea to take a full recovery week to let things heal completely. It was hard, but I did it. I did a bunch of short and easy rides and some cross-training, too. That left me with a lot more free time than I'm used to. That meant cleaning the house, picking up a new foster dog, working on Fool's Gold 2010, and even picking up a book to read for fun. Luckily, I am feeling good and ready to get back to training tomorrow. It's time to make use of my free time and bump up the training hours..

Oh, and I heard that next week is Atlanta Beer Week. Of course, I will be busy training but I'm sure I can find a free moment or two to check it out. I do like to have a little fun, occasionally :-)
