One of my readers once asked me why I support Lance Armstrong. Firstly, the main reason actually is becasue he has used his recognition factor to get off his arse and do awesome work through his Foundation for people with cancer. That is my number one reason given all my family seem to die of cancer. He makes a difference in a meaningful way. Secondly, it's summed up this quote:
"This is my body and I can do whatever I want to it. I can push it. Study it. Tweak it. Listen to it. Everybody wants to know what I'm on. What am I on? I'm on my bike busting my ass 6 hrs a day. What are you on?" ~ Lance Armstrong"
My exercise today is rushing round the house tidying and cleaning, in an anticipation of the Hawkes Bay pick up later this afternoon. The housefrau stuff is not quite the chore it was now that I've had a solid staycation. So, if I go "harder and faster" in the next hour or so, I should still have time for a one hour bike ride.
This weekend is the big wedding. Should at least be "interesting" for a number of reasons. I'll probably give myself a leave of absence on the abstince thing. The wine, food and coffee are gauranteed to be good given the "bride and groom" are in the "hospo" game - the groom being a Mojo franchise man. Although I suspect they would think the term hospo to be low brow!
I'll try and get some walking in around the local (Hawkes Bay local) vineyards. Timing this weekend will probably mean I miss both the Sunday ride and opportunity to go to RPM. Which is a shame because it looks like weather is turning back into Spring weather - crisp and fine. No need to light the fire and risk burning the house down!
Will miss Saturday's posting because I'll be eating and drinking (unfortunately, I don't think there will be dancing - I actually like dancing - same reasons as RPM I guess - becasue you allow your body to connect to the music) but be back on Sunday night...
13 weeks to go!
