We had a nice final day in San Francisco on Saturday. We gave ourselves about 3 hours of wandering around the city just enjoying the urban landscape as two adults. We didn’t bring the kids along on this trip as it was sort of an anniversary gift to ourselves.

We love our kids, of course, and at 5 and 7 years old, they’re pretty good travelers… but hours in museums and walking around a big city aimlessly taking in whatever catches your eye is not always that enjoyable for kids. So we opted to leave them at home with the Grandparents. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their respective weekends.

I’m not actually sure how far we’ve walked so I’ve estimated. Blogging from the Blackberry is doable but not as fast.

Great show about Matisse’s sculpture. It is interesting to see how he took a break from painting to learn sculpture… And how his experimentation with sculpture influenced his painting and eventual collage works.

Last month when we took our trip to Victoria BC we stopped by the BC Museum of Natural History. They have an exhibit there that is a replica of 19th Century Western Canada/British Columbia. As we strolled through the mock streets looking in shop windows and touring “houses”, “livery stables”, “restaurants”, “theaters” and the like, we happened upon this cool old bike.

Needless to say I had to snap a bunch of photos…

Week 8 Report – Base 1 Done… time for a rest week!

Week 8 Complete – Whew! I’m finally done with Base 1… This last week was really hard. First of all 16 hours of training. That’s not the most I’ve done in a week, but it felt like a lot with all the other things I’ve got going on. Second, speaking of things going on, this week started out with 3 days “vacation”… which was actually pretty stressful for me, as it meant adapting my training schedule around the vacation, and it put a cramp in getting work done which meant more pressure on the training schedule. I wasn’t sure how I was going to make it Thursday night, but it all worked out in the end. Like last week, I am being particularly aware of trying to keep in a nice low to mid effort base zone, so although there is a lot of volume of hours the work effort in each session has been low. That being said, I was pretty tired last night, and this weeks rest/recovery week couldn’t have come at a better time.

Thursday night, I was doubtful I was going to be able to make my required training for the week, so I had to sit down and make a weekend game plan. I had to complete 9 hours over the weekend. A couple long rides, a couple of runs, some swimming, and a strength session with my buddy Tyler made everything workout. The highlight was clearly the Chilly Hilly.

Here are the details for this week…
