I have fallen off the blogging wagon..when that happens I cannot get back on. So much is happening that I don't know where to start....
Training- back at it and it feels good.... still consuming the cookies and eggnog- BUT am logging a lot of miles on the bike and some on the run to the lbs are no longer compiling on my body.
Yes these are my Granny's sugar cookies and I LOVE them....really the only cookie I will indulge on, Well the molasses cookies were good this year- confession, I took a zip lock bag of them on my last ride. Hey carbs, sugar and fat - all good right!!!
Last week was about logging base miles on the bike, Christmas Shopping (online), baking cookies with kids, going to dog beach and NOT working.
Lucky for me JD was working each day and Riley slept in, so I could ride my bike and still get all the pre- Christmas fun in. I rode with John one day, with Beth (now a pro-triathlete), James ( kick our ass) and Noko one day.... let's just say Beth no longer needs to hang on my wheel....she was waiting for us on every climb! Impressive! Another ride with Jen, while Riley babysat Anika and then a few days of trail running and an awesome Christmas Eve ride with friends. Good week.....logged some good miles and none of them were crazy hard to the volume was able to creep up with out me being smashed. Since I am not running with a Garmin and all is in hilly trails.... no stellar stats there. By Christmas I was tired but not dead! Perfect week and time for 2 days of eating and drinking
Followed by presents and fun....
and then a great trail run with the dogs and then Christmas Dinner! If you saw Julie and Julia or you own Julia Child's cookbook you know of the infamous Beef Bourguignon - a mater piece and a labor of love...well Kathi took on the recipe for Christmas dinner and it was truly one of the best tasting entree ever- wonderful food, wonderful family and friends....really so very thankful!
