Spring has sprung

What a nice day! spring has arrived.

This morning Joanne, the girls and I went to Toronto for lunch at the Mandarin for a family gathering to celebrate 3 birthdays this week. My Grandfather 78th, my nephew 17th and Melissa's 22nd and also to remember my late grandmothers b-day which would be this week too, and the food was great as usual.

After we finished chowing down and catching up with the family, we headed back home quickly so Joanne and I could get the bikes out and ride because it was such a nice day out.

I pulled the bikes out from the basement and did a quick safety check and away we went. It was more of a leisure ride then a training ride, but we managed to average 25kph over the 25km we rode.

I felt good on the bike not biking all winter. I felt like I could have done a half Ironman distance no problem. Joanne has been riding the trainer all winter so she held her own without pushing to hard, but felt nervous riding on the open road, she is not a strong bike handler, but her riding is improving.

Now the weather is getting better I have to put my biking on hold another week, as I have to focus on my diving this week, because this weekend is my dive meet at the Etobicoke Olympian.

Now my problem is getting to the pool for my last 2 practices before this weekend. The problem is? It's March break, and I have to work on days this week from 7am to 3pm to refinish and wax the classroom floors, but the only time I can practice at the pool is 12:30pm to 1:30pm on Tues and Thurs. Grrrrrr!!

It's not a real problem because I'm the only one working at my school doing all the work, so I'll just go in late after my dive practices and work into the night, problem solved! : - ) .... I just hope my supervisor is ok with that?
