My first out door ride of 2010

The weather was great today and I took advantage by getting on my bike and going for my first outdoor ride of 2010. I rode my 30 km route but not hard as I was shooting video so I kept my average under 30 km/hr. lol ...Here is a video I made of todays ride. Enjoy!

New Drink of choice

Well not really new? I've always liked and drank coffee. But for the next 2 weeks Mac Donald's is giving away free coffee, so when I got up this morning I went out to get some. I can't pass up something that is free! specially when it's coffee!! :)


Today I saw my doctor, and the prognosis is?? ....... Well I'm doing fine. So I mentioned my left knee was still hurting allot so he sent me down for some x-ray's I won't know anything for a few weeks until I see the Doctor again, but I did take a look at my x-ray's when they got developed and I can tell you for sure!! I couldn't diagnosis my x-ray if my life depended on it! ...To me it looked like a knee joint with bits of sharp jagged shards of bone fragments across the front of my knee joint, but that's what I saw? Who knows what the doctor will see? ;)


I also have to go for blood work as part of my normal physical, but I have to fast and not eat or drink anything past midnight before going in in the morning. I tryed to go get the blood work done today as I hadn't eaten since last night, but when I got to the Lab after my doctors appointment there were people lined up out the door, and I was told it was like a 2 hour wait, so maybe I'll try tomorrow.

Six Weeks

Wow! it's been six weeks since I quit drinking!?! Where did the time go? I don't miss it or have any urge to drink, so I guess things are going good. I'm feeling allot better now, more focused still tired from the medication, but am getting my butt out to train.

What have I been doing? Well over the last two weeks mostly watching the Olympics. We had an awesome Olympics with 14 gold medals, most gold medals by any country ever in a winter Olympics and we did it on home soil! I'm proud of our Olympians and our Country for putting on such an awesome Games!

I'm still mostly running only short distances of 5 to 7k 3 - 4 times a week and swimming 1000 m after each run. Just over 3 weeks until the Around the Bay 30 k race. I'm looking forward to it!

The weather is starting to look better with temps starting to go above 0C this week and by Sat we are looking to have temps almost up to 10C, so if this keeps up I'm hoping to get out on my bike by weeks end, even if its for a short ride.
