Sick Kids

There is nothing like a sick kid to derail your training plans. It started Sunday morning at 3:00 am. Josiah's asthma kicked in from the changing weather and went straight to his lungs. When he came in my room my first thought was, there goes my 40 mile training ride in 3 1/2 hours. Now I know that my first thought should have been all about him, but I was so looking forward to riding my longest ride without a break. So we slept in until 9:00 am and then got dressed and went to the Sugar Cycles Criterium. That was way cool watching the pros average over 31 mph. WOW!!! And not crash!!! Then it was off to see Iron Man (the movie, not the race!). What a great movie...can't wait for Iron Man 2 in Summer 2010. So I have been stuck home until today with not much training getting done. I did get some trainer rides in but it just isn't the same. I also ran 4 miles of hills in the parking garage last night so that was something at least. If the weather cooperates I will get a Twin Lakes swim in tonight which always makes me feel better.
