Week 13

Howdy Pards!


Well the recovery week is over, and I must say it was nice to cut back.  The shorter workouts did leave me feeling little guilty....because they were fun.   Had a beautiful run in Leavenworth Washington before my daughters Volleyball Tournament.  A sunny warm day.....and now....   I am back in the Silver Valley of Idaho with two new inches of fresh slush.   Yuck!   Winter is trying to come back.    This week my exercise goes back up to 12 hours.  Double sport days are back.    I hope to do a modified Olympic triathlon on Saturday...about a 3 hour workout, and then a long 2-3hour ride on Sunday.   I will need to focus more on eating during exercise these next few weeks.   Will try some chicken broth to keep my sodium up since I seem to sweat like a machine.

On the lighter side.   Something was eating my chicken eggs.   Leaving bits of shells everywhere.   Ahh yes  and a faint smell of skunk.   After losing a few dozen eggs I had had enough.  I set a live trap and after 4 days I caught a HUGE skunk.....I thought by dispatching him with a head shot he would not get enough time to spray.....but I was wrong.  The whole chicken coup now wreaks.   My wife is upset.....cause now so does the whole farm stink.....and she has a christian women's meeting tonight.   I told her now we have eggs...but she did not think that was too funny:-)


More later!
