It has been a real good week over all.I have been able to run longer before my Heart Rate spikes , it now takes up to 20 minutes before it goes up to high.. I will take that ... at my slow pace now a days that is at least 2 miles Yeah!!!! Monday I got 8 miles in, Wendesday I ran 6.5 mile... Yeah!!!! in between I got some riding in 1.5 & 2 hours....
I have been able to start to "Train" for That race that seems to be always just right around the corner.
Getting 2 hours on the bike a couple of times a week seems like a no brainer, swimming has been 2 days a week at times.. got to get the running ......back to speed so to say..
I have been successful with using herbal supplements for the Blood Pressure I am thankful for that.
Today I had my Blood pressure check......... not good today.... to high .... Why!!!!.. I can try and blame my sinuses and using Tylynol sinuses meds to help me breathe.... Yup! I will blame that...Taking that is like drinking 10 cups of high octane coffee..... that is not good. it also made me a little cranky... and I am NOT a CRANKY person..... going to try Herbal supplements now..
Oh!! I had two new students start the Massage Program here at Sohmar ( School of Holistic Massage and Reflexology) this week I am so excited about that.
Welcome to my world...
My daughters wedding plans are in full crasiness.... So glad to be the Father. I just sit back and smile niclely..and let it all happen...
My Big part in "The Plans " is getting the dance lessons set up.. you know, the Father daughter Dance, that all Fathers dream about.. I shed a tear when I think about it...Not about Dancing which I can do... it is the Father Daughter Dance... Danceing with my little Girl, my little angel..
okay I am crying now thank you very much..... more later.

a Lesson inTeam work 101.
Today my wife and I where spontaneous.... yup....and it was fun..... okay get your minds ..no leave them there while I write about our date day........
After having breakfast we decided to go down to Chicago's Navy Pier, to see the "Cirque Shanghai" I think that was a great choice that we made.. the other was :#1 clean,#2 go to the Kane county fair.... We made a Great choice.... We both discussed it and we both choose. Team work.... Yeah Team Mc....
The drive was slow... everyone goes slow on the Eisenhower Expressway (I90 into the city.).. Why do they call it "the" expressway, or the express lane? They should call it the"I don't care if we ever get there " Way/lane....
We thought the day was going to be a bust,however the sun did come out to say "hello' remember me"
Navy Pier was as always filled with all sorts of people, from every Country.. I love Chicago
It does not get any better then that. People where smiling, laughing, kids where screaming,
Yes all was right in this crazy world we call Home away from home. we even found parking at Navy Pier.
Oh Yes we did see the The Cirque Shanghai it was fun, action packed, it was worth the price,
it was a Great choice by Team Mc.... More later......

sometimes doing nothing is good.....
well it is just another day... same old... same old.
Sometimes the best laid plans are... plans that are just that...
I have a goal in mind, however is it my priority. This deal with the blood pressure has forced me to think about that.. that which is important..
I heard on a radio talk show this morning about priorities that made me think( Yes I do that some times)... is it my training for always something? is it my family? My wife? My businesses? My spiritual life? the earth? Where does all this fit? in what order?
Sometimes I think that I have the answer..... sometimes I don't...
I know in my heart what the first one is at all times: #1 is God, my faith... #2 is my Wife
everything else falls in line on a as need basis. Without my Faith in God I would not be married to Star. With out God , there would be no Grace ... I know that is deep...

its the 4th of July weekend... yes!! some time off
Well I finally took a "day before a Holiday "off. I normally work the "day before" because I see lot of New clients that "can not find the time" to get a Massage during the year. This time I said "no" I will take time for myself and My Family, I deserve a Long holiday weekend like everyone else.
It all started on Thursday afternoon with a nice 60 minute run at Green Valley ,my Heart rate did not spike fast at all, I felt good, best part was when 3 horses and their riders came up behind me they where in a nice chanter it was all good...
On Friday morning I had planned a 3 hour ride on my 90 min course, but I slept in so I just did 2.5 hours. I divided up my Training ride into to sections: drills, left leg 1 min, right 1min, both 1min recovery for 1o minutes then repeat 3 times followed by fast spin. The next section is hard effort 90 % Heart rate 5 minutes , easy spin, repeat 5 times, all in big chain ring. Now for my favorite part hills repeats, I know where in Illinois are there hills.. okay Bridge workouts. My bridge of choice is on ferry road in Warrenville going towards Eola road, it is long enough with a steady climb to get my Heart rate up , repeat 6 times.
After all that ... I just got into a groove and in the aero bars and held 80% heart rate for the rest of the ride that bought me through Batavia, and Fermi lab, and was able to ride the 2 loops around the atom smasher... I spent most of the ride in Fermi.. all in all It was a good Training day for me.
I am looking at a race in August in Waconda Il,it is a tri along with a Aqua/bike.. I like that idea because it is just Swim, bike ... no run .....
Later in the morning Star and I went over to her Moms house and I steamed cleaned the carpets for her, then we took her out to lunch. My Mother in law is a great Mother in law. I do appreciate her.
I have not played chest in a long time, forgot why.. oh yeah it takes paitients and skill...
so my Start and I went to Oberwise dairy and got some Ice cream and they have tables set up with chest board on them.... yup we played....yup I lost Star is one smart player ..she out skilled me ... you know you are ageing up when a fun night is Ice cream and a chest game...
it used to be dancing and partying..oh where has the time gone...
Today is the 4th.. today is a grill out with friends later.. Today is a chill out day.. after morning chores .. I think I live on a farm.. thats okay by me......
