Holiday weekend - fess with the plans......

Wow, dieting and in-laws, why didn't I think of that?   Well, good job looking on the bright side! 

Long run tomorrow, 30-40 mile bike on Saturday with a fellow BTer, work on Sunday, and the PEACHTREE ROAD RACE on Monday morning along with 54,999 of my closest friends.  I've a goal to break one hour in this 10K.

Y'all take care-

Man, I'd gladly give up the P'tree for a weekend of backpacking and flyfishing! 

Are you going to stay in CO?  I've never fished out there, but I've heard that their Blue Ribbon Streams can be fantastic!  What weight rod do you normally take?  Though in GA we've got over 1200 miles of trout streams, they're normally completely grown over with rhododendrons and casting is out of the question.  It takes a 9' 3 or 4 wt to just dapple the fly in some pools rather than backcast and shoot upstream. 

I did get to go fishing today but it was with electricity, insulated waders, and for research purposes only, but we did get to keep a couple. 

Man, I need to go flyfishin' soon.  It's been too long.  Will you give me full report when you get back, with pictures of some your catch so I can drool over the good time you'll be having? 

I WANNA GO!

My 11 year old son is playing in the District Little League All-star Tournament, Saturday and Sunday.  Then Monday night I get to work (on OverTime, yippee) at the public fireworks display. 

Nothing exciting...although I'm not on call which is pretty exciting for me in and of itself   Meeting a fellow BTer for drinks tommorrow....rest is up in the air.  I'm trying to get a friend to do a tri as a relay with me and I will swim and bike and she will run....she is still on the fence.  If my hip doesn't hurt too much I may play golf

Starting off with Friday afternoon at Summerfest, the world's largest music festival. It's Milwaukee's current claim to fame. Big name acts on 10 stages. I will be eating Saz's ribs tomorrow afternoon.

Big training weekend also...bike and run mostly. Swim on Monday after the kiddie parade. I need to find time for the lawn during the course of the three days.

Finally, what July 4th weekend would be complete without grilling the most lusciously edible parts of a cow?

PEACHTREE ROAD RACE!!!

My training is taking a back seat this weekend to fun and relaxation. A light 6 mile run on Saturday and hopefully a bike ride Sunday and then the race that I will be walking on Monday!

Shipbuilder's Tri (olympic distance) tomorrow in Bath Maine, a few cookouts, and lots of relaxing...the in-laws have been here this week and are leaving after the race tomorrow.

She's a KEEPER! 

Tonight, strength training the elbow/forearm at Rattlefish Bar & Grill with fellow BTer, Sue. If anyone asks what I do for a living, I am a toll booth operator (I love that answer).

Tomorrow, swim and run. Grillout with friends.

Sunday, long bike ride, naps and watch The Sting at our historical, 80 year old movie theatre.

Monday, pause to meditate and give thanks for living in the land of the relatively free and home of the brave.

Because we wouldn't be celebrating the 4th of July as a United States of America if not for this man's leadership, I am posting one of my favorite poems, an homage/eulogy to Abraham Lincoln by Walt Whitman. O Captain, My Captain.
