okay, so last week i put in ZERO hours of training on the bike.  it was a planned week of idleness, so no worries.  and seriously folks, i've got to say it felt pretty nice.  although it did get a little weird halfway through.  just like - huh - shouldn't i be out *doing* something?  but instead i stayed home, and cleaned up the mess i call home.  vacuumed the astroturf in the backyard and everything.  now it all looks pristine once again.  good, cause i won't have time for that again for another 4 months!  heading into a 300-350 mile week of training starting today...
