This week is starting out with bad weather.
Not that I care that much because my workouts are going to be inside for a
little while longer. Last week’s workouts were on the medium intense side, 45
min leg spin episodes to get my bike muscles used to the grind ahead. I’m going
to pick up the time a little bit but not the intensity, targeting an 85 to 95
rpm cycle for an hour. Today’s workout will probably be bordering on the harder
side. You see today would have been my father’s 70th birthday. Usually
I would get a call the day before from my brother that dads birthday was tomorrow
because I always forgot things like that, hell I even forget my own birthday is
coming up until I am reminded. I haven’t received that call in 2 years and the
only way I realized the date was a Facebook post by both my brother and my
mother. My mother today is dropping off 10 new teddy bear chairs to the Marine
Corps base, her Facebook post is as follows:
Rosemary Dow
“Today, on what would have been Dick's 70th birthday I am
delivering 10 new Teddy Bear chairs to the Marine Corps base at Cherry Point.
These chairs go to the children of deployed Marines. The ministry that Dick
started lives on and he would be proud of what we are still doing in his name.
I am also very proud of both Rich and Mike and their efforts to raise money to
fight cancer.”
So today’s drive
home from work was normal for this time in NH, snow turning to freezing rain
making tonight commute for Michelle a big pain in the ass ! All the while in
the back of my head my dad’s birthday and I imagine the smiles on the faces of
the kids that will receive those chairs. Yes, I think today’s workout will
border on the harder side….
