Were doin it big time!
Too rainy for trainings on the bike today. Tucson has been religiously good to us with the weather so far, and I am not ready to cry wolf yet. Training conditions have been as sweet as agave nectar straight from the cactus. Hit up some trails yesterday in fantasy island on my new Trek 8500. Saw a few big jack rabbits, and found some mudd by mistake. It felt so good to go out and tear it up like an old newspaper. I had some big 2.2 tires on and they hooked up like like captain cook?(my rhyme)? Have I ever said my favorite setup is a hard tail with some big 2.2 tires. I have had good feelings on the bike lately, and slowly detoxing all those Christmas calories.
Some new addictions to add to the grocery list lately, Kombucha Tea its really nasty but the health benefits are wonders, and why wouldn't you drink rotten tea?
Creamy buckwheat, digests nice, and it has a phenomenal though distinct good taste?? something like that its good though....
Yogi Tea of course is always a must, always inspiring words of wisdom from yogi tea, in every bag!!
Some organic Hemp Protein is always good in the post workout smoothie.
Goat Yogurt, because I just love goat....
And finally all organic dairy...Alot of articles coming out on how "organic dairy" makes you less prone to your dairy allergies?? Who would have thought....(sarcasm)
Here is what last weeks training looked like.

Spent way too many hours in Whole Foods lately hence the not blogging, pretty much what I do these days though, trainings and grocery shopping. I like it like that though its best, oh and sometimes I get really into some show called "the real housewives of orange county"?? Thanks Emily its really my favorite...I think less house wives and more monster truck shows will be a good thing for me!!!
All for now!!! Thanks for reading.

Welcome To Tucson
Oh finally, we are in Tucson, and like 4 snow storms later or something stupid, I knew we left the snow tires on the car for a good reason. Some sketchy driving on the way down, and we made it safe.
Went out for my first training ride yesterday, it was beautiful. I felt well rested and ready to get back to the grind. We took a conservative approach to this years drive down here and it paid off. I arrived with fresh legs, and not much fatigue at all.
Right now I am at a Wi-Fi hot spot just getting caught up in the internet world. Not much time though so I will keep this short as I am headed out for 3 hours bicycle trainings after this.
Did the first few grocery shops which is my probably my favorite part of being an athlete. Tucson has 2 Whole Foods stores and they have the primo food as long as your willing to spend the cash. 300 $ bill later and about 8 items in the cart?? we should probably stick to Costco. Certain things are a must though, and its money well spent.
New Years was sweet a good gathering for me, ate way too much, and stayed up too late, and I wish every one the best for 2010. If anybody did anything different than that though, I wanna know.....
I think thats all I have to ramble about right now, so stay tuned....
