Where has the time gone?

Wow! Has it been that long? Seems like just a few days ago we were finishing the Kitchen and having a Wine and Dessert party? Guess I missed a week or two?

Have been busy, I guess. Getting re-acquainted with working out has been fun. No more skipped heart beats with running, biking, alpine skiing or XC skiing!! Now if i can just rid myself of the Jan Ulrich look, things will be good. I saw a massage therapist today, whom I have not seen since a week before Ironman last year, and he was amazed. Mostly that I actually don't look like a skeleton all the time, but do have fat. At 175lbs now, 164lbs then, it feels like hauling a backpack uphill all the time. Easier now than 2 weeks ago, but I still breathe to heavy.

Well, workout plan is getting organized, (No Ironman's!!) for the summer and fall. Will definately include weight lifting this year. More singlespeed riding this summer, so need to work on the guns!! Perhaps, I'll be able to fit into Karen's arm warmers by my birthday!!

Final Kitchen

The kitchen is done!! (kinda of). We do need to finish the floor, but otherwise the main things are done and in place. Just in time for the annual Wine and Dessert party this weekend!! We have some friends from CO coming in, plus I think 48 people RSVP'd for the party. Should be fun!! No Snow predicted to foil the night.

As you can see we have changed the cabinets, now a mission style, in a copper glaze. There are all stainless appliances, except the old trash compactor is

still harvest gold for now, and new concrete countertops in "Kendall charcoal".

It has been a process for sure, but a good one. I am now ready to start playing more and spending less time in the kitchen. Since the heart seems to be doing well a week after my procedure (I can workout tomorrow for the first time), it should be easier to pull myself away from the house to ski, skate, run, bike etc... Enjoy the pics.
