Too Windy to train.

I was off to a good start this week running 5k both Monday and Tuesday, but today training was halted because of high winds, and I mean HIGH WINDS, Gusts up to 90k. Just walking to my car in my driveway this morning was difficult and I was being blown over, so needless to say I wasn't biking today.

The weather outlook isn't very favorable in the near future with more rain and windy days, I might be able to get in one bike ride this week and hopefully get in two more runs.

This weekend is Thanksgiving weekend! and I give thanks that the Kona world championships are on Saturday which I will be logging on http://ironman.com/ to watch live on line all day starting around 11:00 am, WooT.

Also Saturday I will be putting a new carpet down that I bought for the basement bedroom. The one I had put down was old and smelly that we have been using in the basement for years and when our cat was sick before dieing, she had peed all around it, so I lifted it and threw it out.

The carpet I bought is a remnant carpet ( end of the roll carpet ) of 12 x 24 that I picked up cheap at a local flooring and carpet store. My basement bedroom is only 19 x 10 1/2 so there will be a lot of extra carpet left over that I can use as runners up the basement stairs or something? My plan is gluing the carpet down to the concrete floor in the bedroom, as being the cheapest way of installing it. Then when that's done, I will continue on with putting up more new walls in the next faze of my basement Reno, ( the rec room ). The work never end!
