This has been a tough week to try to getting my training time in. Its all priorities and cycling hasn't come up to the top of the list this week. I've had to deal with an open house for my daughters new high school next year, income taxes, financial aid forms for my son who attends college next year, selecting a winner of the Carol R Hines Memorial Nursing Scholarship I fund every year, blah, blah, blah...

I wanted to hit the road for a 25 mile ride tonight but it was dark by the time I got home and it was raining. Now I don't mind riding in the rain, but its a little too crazy to ride in the rain AND the dark. So, I pulled out the trainer. I did some spinning for 50 minutes, rested for 10 and then cranked up the drag on the rear wheel and pedaled for another 10 minutes. I figured that would simulate a good sized hill. It was a good work out as I worked up a good sweat and was out of breath by the end.

Anyway, I leave you with the immortal words of Socrates, "I drank what?!"
