Training and Politicking

What a busy crazy week! I have been trying to keep up with my cycling training this week and have been doing a pretty good job. On Tuesday I rode 12 miles up Mt. Lemmon (to the snow line!) and wow it was cold! I froze my butt off coming back down the mountain...it was a rush though! I have been doing rides on MWF too in conjunction with my weight lifting...actually I ride down to a fitness trail and do chin ups on the overhead bars...it is a good combo though...I really hope to place high in my next race (Estrella in Goodyear, AZ on March 1) and I think I will be fit enough. Work has been something else this week...I surprise myself sometimes with how deep politically I work the different departments, managers, etc. I never expected I would be able to do this sort of "working the crowd". It is hard though and I really do not enjoy it cause I just want to go to work and enjoy it and have fun and get things done. Yesterday I had a task force meeting and "had it out" with some members cause they are so resistance to change and do not want to make any extra effort to improve processes. Well it is going to take a lot to get where we need to go with this group. Oh yeah I cannot forget the romantic side of my life or lack thereof, I am still working toward goals there but it is taking just a bit of time...BE PATIENT!!!
