Day One

Today begins official training for 2009. Rather than jump into the deep end with an aggressive workout, I stuck my big toe in and did 45 minutes on the road with a few sprints. My favorite after-school loop around Chestnut Hill still had icy spots which curtailed plan A, and so I made up plan B.

I arrived home to discover an email from Michael Kirk, who has graciously offered downloads of his awesome cycling pictures. Scrolling through the photos brought fond, warm summer memories.I love this picture. It's at the Fairhill race, about a week after I got Big Blue. Note the happy "new bike" smile. Thanks, Michael!

Seventy and sunny this Sunday...see you on the road!
