My other job
The length of my ride yesterday (104.6 miles) nearly matched the peak temperature (103 degrees). What's my prize? Leg cramps, dehydration, general malaise, and oh yeah, a 30-minute brick run at the end. I left the house at 7:30am and got back at 5 PM. This Ironman training is like having a full-time job on the weekends. I'm not complaining -- I'd rather cook in the sun on my bike all day than stare at the computer screen.
Today I ran for two hours, hung out for an hour or so, then went on a very easy 1-hour bike ride. Then I attacked the laundry. A mountain of laundry. It always amazes me how much laundry just two active adults can generate in less than a week. Now there's chicken in the crock pot and a cold Biere de Mars in my hand. I think I pretty much earned it.

"earthy tones of ripe mango and lemon verbena" YUM! I had a Pilsner Urquell. It was lovely and refreshing.
