It was yet another day without a ride. The reason this time might have been the cold steady rain that started around 5 am, I guess, and continued for most of the morning, or perhaps it was really just the fact that I had to be at the office before 8:00 and the chances of my getting on the bike at 5 am in January are, well, just about zero. So for me the day started not with a 45 mile ride but a cup of coffee and a cheeze danish. I felt guilty about the danish, but it was cold and raining and I needed some comfort food.
At work it was a busy morning. The Wife, still rather sick, came with me to work because she had a meeting, and it was a good thing she did because I ended up needing to borrow about twenty chairs from her department to accommodate an overloaded seminar room. The "granstmanship" seminar itself went quite well and I think the faculty and grad students who attended got a lot out of it. By afternoon, though, I was rushing to put together a complicated ranking table for the university that had come up on short notice, which is to say I was asked to compile it around 2 pm. It was tedious but luckily I already had about half of the data on hand and in the correct format, so it could have been worse. Around 4:20 The Wife called to see if I could leave a little early because she was feeling lousy, so I was back home by about 5 p.m. It's weird to come home when there aren't any cars parked on the street because everyone else is still at work.
I'm hoping the weather is good this weekend so I can get my winter mileage back up to a reasonable level. Keith D has gotten his USAC Level 3 coaching license and is also now a certified "Sports Performance Coach." I'll probably get my USAC coaching license too, and hopefully we can make ourselves useful this year. Looks like it'll be cold and windy tomorrow. Yeah, lookin' forward to it.
