Fall Festivities
Baby on the way…we’ve got about 18 days until the due date. We’ve decided to call her Lily Lin Vaughn. I’ll put up pictures when she comes. Stacey and I are both totally excited, and are ready any day now to have her come.
I’ve been riding almost every day. I get up at 5:45am and put in 45min-1 hour on my trainer. It is dark at that time, and since I think it would be unsafe for me to do either mountain or road at that time, I stick to the trainer and some good solid DVDs.
Then, on my weekends, I usually take Saturday off and spend it with the family. Sundays, I get some work done and put in a longer ride. I’ve already gotten in a couple of good 4 hour rides since I’ve been on this schedule, and I actually feel pretty good all the way throughout.
Since I started a new job at OSU Federal, Your Community Credit Union, I have been disciplined about my training. By waking up an hour early and working out, I feel more relaxed since I’ve already been active and I am much more able to concentrate while working.
I will probably not be racing a whole bunch this fall or winter, since we have Lily coming. But, I may get the occasional sneak-out to race a cross race. I tried doing one of the Eugene Short-Cross races, and holy crap did I get my butt kicked! I didn’t get lapped, but trying to keep up with the Cat A men on their cross bikes while I was using my clunky Ibis hardtail mountain bike, was near impossible!
Anyway, it feels good to write again. Keep up the good work everyone!
