Christmas Musings....

I had this great post all written out and then the interwebs decided to eat it.....so I will recreate what I can remember writing.

1) Why is it that everybody and their cat decides to put out a "Christmas Album"? Is there a more pathetic schill for money? I bet the Carpenters and Anne Murray really rack up the royalties during this time of year.

2) Who decided that cheese and sausage make a good Christmas gift? Don't get me wrong I like cheese and sausage on a cracker as much as anyone, but how it got to be such a popular gift around the Holiday Season is beyond me.

Mmmm cheese.....

3) With all the commercialness (is that a word?) associated with Christmas we as a society tend to forget the real reason for Christmas. I think Linus said it best.......

Merry Christmas to you all and Happy New Year!

Training in December

This is why I love living in the South. This week I was able to ride outside twice and run outside 3 times in shorts and a dry fit tee shirt. Today we did a 50 mile ride in short sleeve jerseys and bib shorts. Good Times!

New Goals

With 2009 quickly approaching I felt that it was time to set some new goals for next year.

1. Miss no more than one workout per week.


2. Increase threshold wattage to over 300 watts.


3. Consistantly stretch and remain injury free.


4. One nonsports goal-be able to eat two Willy's burritos at one time.

YUMMY!

Joy To the World....

Ah yes the Holidays.....what other time of year can you have a clown like this show up at your door and it seem perfectly normal?

"They had to replace the steel plate in my head with a plastic one since everytime Katherine revved up the microwave I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for half an hour"

Every family has a Cousin Eddie....who knows it might be YOU!

My life is boring.....

I can't even think of anything remotely interesting to write about......

Not that anyone noticed......

but I haven't posted for a week....sorry about that!


Recap of the last week:

Got back in the water and swam twice this week. This is an area where I need to improve this winter in order to continue to be competative next season.

Ran a new PR of 19:50 at the Gobble Jog 5k, that was good enough for 1st AG M35-39.

Ate entirely too much on Thursday and Friday....

and topped off the weekend by watching my beloved Bulldogs roll over and die in the second half against the Nerds of North Avenue.

Football Thoughts....

1) Stewart Mandel is a tool...
2) Tennessee v Vandy....have there been two more inept offensive teams in the history of the SEC?
3)Ole Miss-Don't sleep on the Rebels, they are going to be really good, really soon.
4) OSU-Michigan-Does this game matter to anyone south of the Mason-Dixon Line?
5) I feel sorry for whomever has to play Utah in the BCS games...they are good!
6) Oklahoma is JACKED! I will be surprised if the final of this game isn't 49-7. Texas Tech is rattled.
7) I would really like to see Oregon State win out so USC has to go to the Holiday Bowl.
8) The Big East and ACC are atrocious....their automatic BCS bids should be revoked.
9) After watching GA Tech on Thursday night, our Defense better have spent the Bye week learning how to tackle or it is going to be a long day next week Between the Hedges.
10) Anytime Notre Dame loses is a good day.

Post your thoughts in the comments....
