don't know what those last ones really say, but i think they go on about me being 'hella fast. ha,ha... just joking.

been getting out the last few days for a few hours - so, i only really took off monday and tuesday. i don't take too many days off the bike as i have found that my body usually reacts negatively if i take too many days off. though, i do have to say that rest is VERY VERY important and during these "active recovery" days i am a huge stickler on not exceeding certain heart rate levels. everybody is different, so you just have to gauge your training accordingly. if you don't have a heart rate monitor though, you bettter get one silly!

so, three to four hours today at steady tempo and then head back for a little ride with jennifer. she likes to ramp up the pace to 13mph sometimes, so i have to keep a little in reserve for the last couple of hours.

other than that, gotta finish off some jittery joes coffee (very yummy!), sneak in a ride, put some bikes back together and possibly think about a new cross bike. i've had the itching for another moots - picked up a giant last year for my spare and i think i am going to put it out on ebay soon. nice bike, but i really wanted a moots when i got it. so, if anybody is looking for a basically brand new 2004 giant cross bike in medium, let the sologoat know.

with that, gotta roll -- and you better go too, get a ride in now!

sologoat out.
