I'll be the first to admit I should be working right now and not writing in my blog. But, I can't get my brain wrapped around what I am supposed to be doing. Hopefully a 10 minute distraction can help get my brain back on track. Lately though, I've been told that I'm getting old and this sort of stuff just gets worse as you get older. I'm going to assume this person is correct since he is older and wiser(?) than I am.
Since my last post life has been humming along nicely. I'm training regularly and seeing some nice gains on the bike and in the pool. The running is coming along too, but no improvements that I can see at this time. I'm blaming that on all the cold, snowy weather we have been having here in Madison. With the ground being covered in snow, traction has been an issue. And in the last few days, I have opted to run indoors. I will be the first to say that I hate the treadmill. I despise running in one place, staring at a wall or TV and chugging along. My runs with Peter in the great outdoors are always far more entertaining. With negative temps and some nasty wind chills though, I can suffer through a treadmill run or two (or three or four....).
Speaking of Peter, he got himself a new trainer for his birthday. Kathryn, Petra and I went in on it. Peter was surprised and I don't think he actually realized it was for him until the next day when it was sitting in his house. Maybe Peter will blog about how great his CycleOps Fluid2 Trainer is....and how wonderful the 3 women who bought it are. Then again, maybe not. I'm winning the blogging contest thus far.

In some non-training related news, I was lucky enough to attend the Packers-Seahawks game on January 12th. It was a magical night at Lambeau field - Brett Favre, falling snow, defeating Mike Holmgren where he once held his own.....Surprisingly the road to the SuperBowl would head back through Lambeau the following week. This time wasn't as magical as I watched from the comfort and warmth of Joe's home in Janesville, WI. Fortunately we had some amazing food and vodka tonics to get us through that game. I hate to say it, but I'll say it anyway - the Packers sucked that night and lacked the magic they brought to the field all season long. Do I think the Giants are a superior team? Not a chance. At least they will get to contribute to the Patriot's perfect season. I'm not sure I'll be watching this game....maybe the commercials though.
I'm off to San Diego in about 1 week. I can't wait to see my cute little niece. She will be almost 6 months old when I see her this time. Stayed tuned for more great photos of the little darling! Another bonus for this trip is that I will be picked up and dropped off by my boyfriend! That's right - I have one of those now. He's absolutely wonderful and I will definitely be looking forward to seeing him after my trip. So, if you've been following along the guest star has become a series regular :)
Now that I have sufficiently wasted 10 minutes, time to move on. There's always another day to blog. And plenty of more work to be done.
My parting thought for the day: Tune in on January 31st! LOST is BACK!!!!
