Cooking the Turkey

Another beautiful day out. My ride yesterday was nice but at the speeds I was riding the wind was cold. I didn't get to run yesterday because Joanne had a headache so I decided my ride was enough exercise for one day, that and Fridays aren't my run days anyway, so I'll run today after my ride. But first I have to prepare the turkey for tomorrow Easter dinner. I'm cooking it ahead and will carve it up an put on serving tray's so all I have to do is warm it in the oven tomorrow and serve, this way I have less work and time in the kitchen tomorrow preparing the side dishes, with more time to socialize with my mom.


Yesterday's training

30km bike.

Hello long weekend

The weather is starting to warm up and the snow is melting, yay! I'll be able to ride tomorrow!!

Tomorrow is the start of the long Easter weekend, I get Easter Monday off to. My plan is to get in some good bike rides and running all weekend long weather permitting. We have an nice Easter dinner planned for Sunday with my mom coming over, but I'll have time to ride while the turkey is cooking. : )


Today's training...

Today I only did a half hour run on the mill, (tomorrow I will be running outside doing another 10k run with Joanne after my bike ride) then I did some weights and went down to the pool for a cool down swim then an hour of 1 and 3m diving.

Where is the warm weather?

Man it's April and we are still getting snow?? We got another couple of inches overnight, actually it hasn't stopped snowing here since yesterday as we were getting snow squalls overnight. This is April!?!.... were not suppose to get snow squalls in April!! Where is the warm spring weather we dream about all winter long?

I should have stayed home from work last night, it was wicked driving home with the wind and snow. The roads were icy and snow cover all the way home. My plans for bike riding are screwed to! Oh well, the warm weather is coming back and hopefully will melt all the snow fast so I can ride by the weekend. In the mean time I'll do some running until then.

Today's training.

I went to the rec center and ran 10k on the mill, I had to split up the run over two mills, we're only allowed 30 min sign ups for the mills, so I split up my sign ups, 30 on one mill and 30 mins on another if available when I sign up. Total time was 54min. then I went down to the pool for a few lengths of swim warm up, then did an hour of diving between the 3m and 1m boards.

Snow day

We are getting hit with a spring snowstorm today, I can't decide if I should take a snow day from work or not? about 4 inch's have fallen already with more to come. the problem with taking a snow day is in Toronto where I work it's not snowing just raining with mixed precip. Should I chance the drive or not?

Some shots outside my front door today.

Training and painting

Yesterday was a busy day, I went out pricing materials to build my bedroom in the basement and so far the tally for just wood, nails, drywall, light fixtures, wiring, utility boxes, switches etc come to $1000.00 which isn't to bad. After shopping I went for a 10k run with Joanne at a cruise pace and managed it in 1 hour on the nose with a little help with me pushing her to make the hour. I literally was pushing her back as I was running along side of here to get her to run faster sprinting out the lasty 1k to the finish. After our shower she took a nap and I painted the basement floor to seal the concrete before building up the walls to the bedroom.





How do you like the color?? Not to worry it will be covered up with carpeting.
