I don't understand it. The Vatican hasn't called. I'm worried that someone has let slip that I'm not celibate, and now they've excluded me from the running. If I find out who told I'm gonna be pissed. After all, we all know that in the Catholic church it's not about what sins you may have committed, it's about how well you keep them secret!! Damn! I hope I'm wrong.
Meanwhile I guess I'll just stay busy and hope that the call is just delayed. I really, really want to be Pope. Maybe they will acknowledge my work ethic and overlook that other stuff. I know I've been working my butt off on my bike.
Speaking of which I now have a problem. You will recall that after my first session at the new levels I was a bit overwhelmed, and considered dialing it back a bit based on the next session. Unfortunately the next session went well, as did my long ride today. When I say they went well, I don't mean they were easy. They were hard as hell, and I was whipped after each of them, and yet I performed them up to the standard. Based on those results I have no excuse to "dial it back".
For today's ride (3 hours) I watched a movie, and although that my seem a bit cheap, without some distraction 3 hours staring at the training monitor is a long freakin time!
I wish also to give you a little health update. I am suddenly very optimistic about my calf muscle problem. I found a new massage therapist (or Roo found her for me) and she is fabulous. Strong hands, mean as hell, and after just 2 sessions with her I sense significant improvement. That's the good news. On the other side of the coin I felt some old familiar twinges in my left knee today. It is clearly from the intensified cycling, and I will have to watch it very carefully. i think I may need to start doing some light lower body weight training to keep everything in balance. That's the good thing about the feeling being familiar. Even though it was years ago, I still remember what I did to fix it them.
So that's it. Long run day tomorrow but the weather report looks very shaky. I have promised myself that I will shorten it without guilt if indeed the cold, wind, and snow plays out the way the predict. You never know though. Unlike the Pope the meteorologists are not infallible.
By the way, have you made the connection? The main reason I want to be Pope is so that I can always be right. Even Roo would have to listen to me then.....maybe even Cory!!
Love
Peter

Good luck having them listen, even if you are Pope Peter! I'm glad you see there is no excuse to dial it back on the bike. I was gonna tell you that after you first mentioned it, but it is better that you came to that conclusion on your own anyway.
