Christmas Week

Somehow over the course of the last couple of weeks I have gained five pounds!! So this week I was really trying to be good and eat well and get in lots of base training. The week didn't start out good. Monday I went to the pool and it was a frigid 69 degrees. My toes didn't even like that. So I lifted instead and was planning on going on a ski to celebrate the solstice, however, the skiing was terrible. It has been 45 degrees all day and the trail was frozen as hard as a rock. We only made it to the outhouse at Bozeman Creek. What a bust of a day. Tuesday was good. I rode the trainer trying to stay mostly in zone 2 for 2hours and 20 minutes. My neck hurts from riding in the aero position and trying to watch TV. The next couple of days are going to be tough, trying to make dessert. I don't even like dessert. For Christmas day and appetizers and quiche for Christmas eve and brunch. Hopefully the pool is warm today. Cross your fingers. Somebody suggested I practice in my wetsuit. Thats a good idea.
