Pain Train

I am so wrecked I can’t believe it. Yesterday I agreed to do a gym workout with personal trainer/massage therapist to the stars Rachel. Lots of core, plyo’s, and balance stuff. I think it was the plyometrics that did it. I kind of chuckle when people say “Oh, you are in such good shape…” Yeah right. My “fitness” is pretty specific. I can ride a bike and put out the watts but ask me to run a mile and I am crippled for days. Good old eccentric contractions do it everytime. I suspect it is the same for most cyclist. Damn I am sore, I almost rode the elevator today, almost. As good as Rachel is at healing I think her hurting skills are better. Give her a call, she will beat you down and then build you back up. I really need a massage. Now I see through her evil plan. Hopefully by the time I am ready to ride again I will have adressed and fixed some other body issues that I have been ignoring for a while. In the meantime if anyone wants to go for a hike, give me a shout.

Thing at the house are moving pretty quick now. The roof is more or less done and looks really good. I have hired a flooring company to come in and finish the floors on both sides. I really wanted to tackle this project myself but since it will be a while before I can run a drum sander I had to pry open the wallet and get it done. I hope to break ground on the patio soon. After that I may finally have a house warming party/bbq. (3 years after moving in)
