Improving (sort of)

Yawn. I always feel really good when i run in the morning....for the first 2hrs, but by noon, im dragging. So today starts my 2 weeks of hard training. Well, actually yesterday started it & i did my required 20min recovery spin followed by a 1hr massage :) Hesser College has a massage school & the students are required to work on people, so they do it cheap... $20/hr cheap. aww yeah.

So im looking foward to this block of training & hoping that it will help me with the races in november. Thats kind of my new focus.

Anyways. me & allie headed back up to maine on sunday morning. cheered for jack & then got kitted up. The course was really cool & quite fast. The long paved climb worked well for me. I decided to take the pressure off & start dead last. it can only get better from there, right? So i just tried to ride a good race & work on my skills. I passed when i could. In the end, i finished 32nd. right in the middle of the field. Not quite what i wanted, but still better than saturday's pathetic ride. Weller won (again). I was 2mins from a top15 result, which is where i want to be. I think i can get there. i just dont know that it will be this season. next year. next year. everything is about next year.

On the way home, i gave up on my fuel efficient driving, in favor of pizza & beer, which were waiting for me at home. I was sooo hungry. I topped off the pizza with some Soy Delicious ice cream. aww yeah.
