Fall is in the air

Another beautiful sunny but cool day. Fall is definitely in the air. I went out this morning for my bike ride in the chilly air, the temp was reading 10C when I left at 10:30am. I had to even wear a long sleeve shirt. My wife told me when she got up this morning it was 3C outside. Brrrrrrr.

My plan was to go 3hours out to Wasaga beach and back, But when I reached the point of no return where I can either cut back home for a 30km ride or go on to Wasaga Beach for the full ride out and back. I opted for making the right hand turn for a 30km ride instead, because it was chilly and my knees where getting cold.

When i got back home I asked Joanne if she was going for a ride, and she was, so I went back out with here for another 20km ride.

Later tonight Is party night!! Woo Hoo! Were going out to a friends for a 80s surprise birthday party!! should be fun! Yes I'll spoil my diet tonight and have a few beers, then I'll get back on my diet Sunday. :)

This weeks totals....

Swim......0000 Lake is to cold amd my rec pass has expired. I'll go into detail about that later.

Bike ....120km

Run .... 7km.



-Ok about my rec pass.....

My " family " rec pass expired in June and I didn't renew it over the summer becuse I don't normally go to the rec center during the summer because I spend most of my time outside riding or swiming in the lake and ruinning outside. Although this summer was a bust because of my work schedule and the lousy weather! and nobody else was using it thoughout the year, so I cancled it.

Anyway, My wife decided she wanted to start up training now that our "Family" rec pass was canceled!?! So she went out and got herself a single fitness pass for 6 months! not thinking I was going to start up my training at the rec center come Sept??

So basically I'm screwed for training at the rec center until her pass expires at the end of DEC!! Because we can't afford and I won't Pay for a single pass for 3 months which would cost about $20 less then a family pass for the two of us over the same three months.

In other words Come January when I buy the Family pass for which everyone in my family can use ( four of us ) except only Joanne and I will use, it will cost us $600 for the year, ( we have to buy the pass as a yearly pass) where as if Joanne and I where to buy two single rec passes at $130 per pass for 3 monts, times 2 for her and I, and pay it 4 times over the year? it would cost us $1025.00 for the year!

So you see my dilemma! It looks like I'll have to either break down and by my 3 month pass until Jan and eat the loss. or pay as I go for swims and not feel the pinch as much, but $5 per swim is still expensive! and I can run on my treadmill and bike on my trainer in my basement when the cold and snow comes. Hmmmmm!
