Long Time

It has been a long time since posting.  Lots of things happening in our life, many new paths paved.  After all the years of racing and training, Jeff will be taking a little time off from competing.  We have undertaken a massive project with our kitchen.  We are looking at 6 weeks with an unusable kitchen.  Will it be worth it - yes.  I will miss cooking (but not cleaning). 

We start with the electric being upgraded on Friday.  All day with no power -  but worth it.  Learning that the circuits we have can malfunction and a possible fire is worth the day with no  power. 

Monday morning they show up to take the room down to the studs and base floor.  New cabinets, lighting and hardwood floors will be great when it is done - a mess until then.

Our next project after the kitchen?  Large garage addition for Jeff's man cave :-)

Training wise, Jeff will be working with AJ on his triathlons this summer.  Kick ass bike for his birthday, back in the pool for swimming and a running club this summer - AJ should be ready to win a few medals!

A Little Brian Time

Since Brian isn't on Facebook .....  We had a great evening with Brian.  Always lots of laughs, too much food and not enough drinks.  Happy he was able to get in a little riding while home for Christmas.  Sad the weather turned and we didn't get to ride outside together.  When we come back to NYC we will bring our bikes!

Thanks for taking time to see us and hope to see you this summer.

New Bike

Jeff picked up his new bike on Wednesday - he was like a little kid in a candy/toy store.  Now to get it set up to fit him, :-)

Jeff's New Bike

After ALL of these years, Jeff is finally getting a bike he has always wanted.  He has found a Litespeed Ti6/4 with Campy Record Groupo components.  Should have it in about two weeks and I get a road trip out the whole deal!

Sunshine/Full Moon/Rainbow Day

I haven't been able to be on the bike in a long time.  Today was the day.  I probably rode a little further than I should have - ran out of water, etc.  BUT, the freedom I felt on the bike is wrapped up into the sunshine/full moon/beautiful rainbow feeling.

Vacation

We started our "surprise" anniversary vacation today.  First stop is Macon GA.  Not exactly the honeymoon suit - but it will get better in the next few days.

There will be one surprised guy in the next couple of days.  Photos to follow after Sunday!

First Bike Race

Jeff has focused on his triathlon skills and raced his first bike race tonight.  We are both thrilled with the results - comparing his age to others.  

The personal challenge for Jeff - he felt he rose to the occasion.  The task of getting the new business building built - getting ready to go on a 10 day vacation - he should be very happy.

Running and riding have paid a price this year - but you know what?   We are happy.  He has had to nurse me to health, keep the home front going plus all of the other "stuff" in life.  We are so ready for this vacation!

Love ya honey - we will celebrate our anniversary in style :-)
