Thanksgiving Week

Well it's the beginning of Thanksgiving week and it's looking to be a good one. Took a "forced" recovery day today from training (btw I'm going to start giving training updates since I am well on my way to getting ready for the season). Ran some errands instead of training and burned some time with Danny and Eric going to The Sanctuary, hitting golf balls at Sports Authority, and eating some bomb sushi at Shins. Spent the rest of the day pretty much just wasting time but I eventually got around to combining our group history essay.

I took the car into the shop for an oil change and to check out the smell thats been there for the last two months or so. Guess what it was? A fuel leak at the fuel filter... agh! Could have caught fire at anytime the guy told me. That at least explains the 50% drop in my gas mileage during the last tank.

So what about the rest of the week? Well I think this is going to be my biggest training volume week yet for me. I have 16 hours of riding/workouts planned... pretty intense! Last week I did 14.5 pretty well, including a 5 hour ride, so 16 doesn't sound too bad. I'm a little worried about how to get the time/miles in because I'm going back home and there aren't a lot of long flat rides. There are epic mountains back home, more so then SLO, but I'm still trying to stay on flats to just keep building up my endurance. I'll probably jump on some easy climbs to mix things up a bit, but nothing super epic.

Well I'll try to put in a training update later this week. Until then,

TJ

Its been a While... again

Sorry about the long delay. I'm sure the 0 people reading the blog were sad :(. So I'll try and keep things more updated in the future. One of my friends from high school is blogging again so I'll probably try and stay up with it more regularly.

Well until then,

TJ
