mushy brain is spreading

i didn't ride this weekend and i think it is contributing to my grumpy 'tude and a mushy brain. its just not falling into place...

even the concert at the peace abby (while great) didn't fire up the weekend. it was a great concert - anyone should try and hit a Magical Strings tour show. its a fantastic environment and definately a night of music worth every penny of energy to get there...

changing the tires over to the summers on the Golf didn't even make me feel that much better... i think dumping over the 3/4 full cup of sip 'n dip coffee didn't help matters... i needed that coffee...

That comment by Greg about the fixie not being a good way to learn to pedal... may have some element of truth, but... i wonder... if it worked for Walden and the wolverines... I dunno.

Solobreak's kinda mimic'n my thoughts... that or i'm just empathizing or using the 'rest' rational for light duty 'training' right now. Each week is one week closer to Cross season and one less week i have to get miles under the belt... each week spent like this last one... is probably a whole host of places lost in the races...

but... i keep tellin myself that this year is the first one back and i don't really care what i place... so... it helps mentally a bit, but this weekend not getting out didn't help much.

That and thursday when i mentioned i was feelign blah... i had the damnest best GD ride home... freaking flew... felt great, loads of extra power, green lights and only one really pissy obnoxious car.

This coming weekend looks like crap as far as getting a ride in - gonna be in East Hampten NH for a big TDI event, and sunday? May meet up with Magical Strings sat night and hang out just outside of Keene, in Marlborough. But probably no bike.... so i'm gonna try and get out maybe for a morning ride or two maybe tomorrow or wed... or try to do it every morning... i dunno - just damn hard finding riding time these days... esp trying to get a full day of work in.

gotta see if i can find something positive to say - The nice organic Fuji apple from my home state tasted super yummy just now... it goes well with coffee... what doesn't!?
