Baystate CX.

Hmmmm. To cyclocross, or not to cyclocross. That is today's conundrum. My buddy (a rep for Scott Bicycles) is heading down to the Baystate cyclocross race this weekend. I kinda want to go, but I'm also getting pretty deep into my off-season training schedule. Racing would be fun, but I'm really feeling good about the momentum I have going with this training regiment. And by "training regiment" I mean quality time on the couch eating M&M's, drinking beer, and cuddling the pugs to stay warm.

See, if I weren't so darn competitive with myself I would just go and not worry about where I place or how fast I go or any of that other meaningless stuff. But, instead, if I don't do well then I'll beat myself up for starting my lazy season much too early and not doing what I say I'm going to do every year: stay in shape over the winter.

B'ah!

Still reading? Really?!!

Ok, well maybe you'll find this interesting. Tonight I'll be going to yoga and my beautiful bride is going to be assisting Jonas for the first time. I get to be her dummy, which is a scenario we're both pretty accustomed to. I will say that the one good thing about the off season is that I get my yoga on. It's good and restorative after a season of upper-body neglect and lower-body abuse. It sort of gets me all equalized again.

Holy crap it is hard to come to work these days. Knowing that they are shutting down the place in a few months makes it virtually impossible to care. It's not that I don't have things to do, because I do. A lot of things, actually. But I just don't care anymore!
