I started to feel pretty lean. My arms seems skinnier, I have the tell tale vein in my ab muscles, and I'm started to get more veins in my legs. I got on the scale this morning and I'm still 4 pounds over my 'best' race weight. Either I put a heap of mooskull on or I'm a pig.

I feel like if I raced I could die. With 5 hours on deck for the weekend smart money is on more recovery time.

Ugh.

I have guiness in the fridge. So much better.

(I have white zinfadel too. But that's probably going to be consumed when I cook for friends.)

It's funny... I never eat before a morning workout, which are typically harder than my races. Yet I eat before a race. Stuffing a vat of oatmeal down at 4:00 am is a pretty rough thing to get used to. One day I'll shake this need for athletic competition and join a monastery (they get up around the same time), or I'll find a nice girl and settle down.

This statement is all wrong. It's either "find a nice girl" - which in itself is like finding the Lost City of Atlantis. Or it's "settle down." And when we're alone we never settle down. Especially if you have a competitive nature.

And with the eating thing. I commute during the winter. I'm on the bike at 4-4:30 in the AM. It's a 2.5 hour one way commute. Doing it I have to be fueled. So I eat. I can eat huge before a ride or even a tough training session.

You are too humble.

Of course the continuation of that dialogue is gold as well.

Freamon: You give yourself too much credit.
Moreland: Okay then. I ain't that humble.
