The First Step ...


The first step on the path to the 2006 STP was in the garage. Since it was Halloween and a little rain, I decided to ride in the garage. I got to watch Colin pass out candy to all the trick o’ treaters. Colin went from giving one piece of candy to the kids to a handful, and we still didn’t pass out all of our candy. Well, we did but as the kids came home, we sorted their candy for the “undesirable” candy and recycled it back to the neighborhood. It probably wasn’t our neighborhood anyway as there were many kids I did not recognize. Colin just kept giving away candy. He loved it. When there was a lull, he would start asking where the kids were, already prepared with a handful of candy. It was fun for all three of us, Colin, Christine, and I. Craig and Colin both dressed up as football players. They were the only two I saw. Cassie was a princess, cute as always. It was a fun Halloween. Plus, the Steelers won a close one at Heinz Field, 20-19 over the Ravens. It is always good when the Steelers win.

About the riding, I got on for an hour just to ride some endurance miles. Kept the heart rate between 130 and 140, ending up averaging 134. Afterwards, I did the Chilly C superset, which consists of medicine ball toss from the back, pounding the abs with the ball, sit-ups with the medicine ball, leg lifts, and pushups. Did three sets of those to add about 20 more minutes to the work out. It felt good and I am a little sore this morning but nothing severe. Tonight will be a video night, either climbing or time trialing. I see how I feel. I am leaning towards the time trial video. I have 20 pounds to lose during the next seven months. A journey starts with one step.
