Random few weeks

Well, the last few weeks have been pretty random...some good days and some not so good days.  To begin, I found my seat upon my return from Tucson.  It was right where I left it. 

Well, aside from finding my saddle, things have been hectic with work for both of us.  Everytime we seem to get ahead, some major work needs to be done.  Over the next few weeks, we're going to try to focus a little bit more on ourselves.  On Wednesday night, we ended up going to a talent show for work which showed the vast array of talents a number of the cadets have aside from what we see on a day-to-day basis.  It was pretty incredible to see the talent....and on occasion shocking to see who was behind that talent. 

The weather has been changing for the better here but it is still pretty cool.  One of the highlights of this week was getting out in K-town for a ride.  Regardless of how cool it is, as long as you dress for the occassion, it will be good.  Luckily for me, I have managed to get some Assos gear which has proved invaluable for riding.  The quality is unbelievable and I am so spoiled.  It is very comfortable and awsome quality.

The ride was definitely good.  Despite that one good ride, the rest of the training has not been that great.  I have been having some issues for the past month with my knee and some lower back pain which I have been seeing a physio for.  It's slowly improving but it is definitely on the sllllllloooowwww side.  Beyond that, I have been finding it hard to get out the door to do anything.  This weekend was a total write-off as, aside from work (yes, working) I slept most of the weekend away.  Work consisted of a parade today, in the cold and snow and it was very cold.  I did however, get my first medal so it wasn't so bad. 

Beyond work and training, Amber and I have been trying to plan the next few months with the stuff that we need to get done around the house.  It starts Tuesday with Sears finally getting us a new fridge.  With all the rest this weekend, I think things have finally made a turn.  Amber helped to put together a great salad for dinner which was awsome.   

With some more planning and some focus on ourselves, this week will be better.  Hopefully the weather will be better as it will be nice to get outside.  M
