Training and Eating

I wish I could say I spent more time training than eating this weekend, but no dice. It rained here on Saturday. It is not supposed to rain here in January, but it did. We had house guests and Martha but on a culinary display. Our friend Steve and Rosa were visiting. Rosa is 8 months pregnant and they wanted to come up to the woods and chill. And chill we did. We were either eating, preparing our next meal or planning the meal after that. Here is a sampling of Saturday:
Get up, make some espresso.
Make some coffee.
Make breakfast (gingerbread pancakes with homemade apple marmalade, sour cream and syrup).
Eat and drink more coffee.
Cleanup dishes and pans from breakfast.

Start Lunch prep: roast vegetables, soak lentils, chop stuff
Bake bread (ingredients included roasted shallots, a beer, fontina cheese!)
Cook lunch (balsamic roasted winter vegatable lentil soup)
Open “Lunch Wine”.
Eat and drink.
Take a nap.

Wake up.
Start dinner prep
Cook Dinner (pasta squash bake with crazy cranberry, stilton, walnuts, etc)
Open “dinner wine”
Eat and drink.
Watch football.
Fall asleep watching game.

So you get the point. I did ride the rollers before lunch and I did snowshoe and ride rollers on Sunday. But official training starts today.

Our new squad is sponsored by Cycle-Smart. I am very excited to be working with Adam and his crew. It should take me to the next step.
