Tapering Down

Monday after Thanksgiving can be a scary time if you weigh yourself in on Monday Mornings. Especially if you have not one but two Thanksgivings. So you can imagine how relived I was when a week before my big marathon I came in at at 162. I was extremely happy. I got a lot of exercise in over the Thanksgiving weekend so I was able to keep my weight gain to a minimum.

As I mentioned above with less than a week to go - it is time to taper down. I've put my miles in and now it is time to rest and recover. I have been doing some cross training. Mountain biking to be more specific. I LOVE IT!!! I have been using Dominic's bike but I think I will get my own.



I had a great Thanksgiving. I made another killer turkey and some desserts. I brought a bottle of port but we didn't make it that far. Might have had something to do with the six or so previous glasses of wine. Next Year! Special thanks to Candida, Tony, Christina, Theresa and my Mom for preparing food. But especially my uncle Dennis who helped me out a lot both this year and last with the prepapration of the Turkey. My friend Amanda was also there. It is always nice to have guests.



Oh Yeah and I brought my Jeep home. Nino and Jose gave me endless grief. I had not brought the Jeep to the ranch in a long long time and I had put a lot of work in her this year. She looks terrific.



Well thats all for now.
