Poor Training Week

This morning I stretched for 20 minutes. It is the most training I've done since Monday.

I got sick with something that absolutely wrecked me. Wednesday I went home from work at 1pm. That night, my wife said I was shaking the bed so hard with my chills that she couldn't sleep. Thursday I stayed home sick and spent the entire time sleeping. I missed my favorite day of the work week and couldn't even enjoy being home. I ached from so much consecutive time sleeping.

Friday I was back at work, functional but still sick. This weekend has been continued down time. We did order the microwave yesterday evening (online) and have an installation guy to call once it arrives. Over the range microwaves are hardly worth the trouble IMO, but it's what this house requires.

My unicycle came. I put it together, but the seat is too tall for me. I need to figure out the proper way of shortening it without damaging the bike. It will be some time before it fits in my priority list though. I have a lot of catching up to do now that I feel better.

I will pursue some light activity Tuesday. With bowling tonight, I expect an early evening Monday.

      Sorry to hear you got wailed on. Glad to hear you are doing better though. Recover first, train second. unicycle sounds cool. I'll look forward to your first vids.

      My wife now wants to know how the unicycle shakes out. She says she interested based on a good report from you.

      I finally found out last night that all unicycles ship with a seat post that is likely to be too long for me. It is typical to cut the post down an inch at a time until it is the desired length.

      I'll borrow a tube cutter from my dad this coming weekend. After that, we'll see how it goes. I am excited. Perhaps my wife should video the first attempts. It will probably be funny, painful, and embarassing - all at once...
