Remember my "New Year resolution?" Well, it was to calm my self down when reacting to negligent (or purposeful a##hole) drivers. Well, in last two days I have been put to the test. And it can only be tested in real situations, when you are making a "knee jerk" reaction w/ no thinking about it. Yesterday and Wed, both, I was nearly taken out once by a person backing up and not looking and another by a dude not using a turn signal (my fav). In both of these situations, where a year or so ago I would have lost it and yelled, etc, I kept cool and either just gave "a look," or (no toto forcefully) aid "use you turn signal." Finally, I’ve beat the demon of blowing my top and getting myself 1 situation closer to getting shot by some hillbilly.
Training wise, the week’s been good. Yesterday I got in the 4-hill ride and didn’t feel strong. So I bought a rotisserie chicken last night and ate half of it. I ate the breast chopped on a salad and the rest of the half w/ some BBQ sauce. Animal protein = good. I did my short/easier ride today and felt fine. At least I’ve gotten in a full week w/ no weather (or any other) interruptions. I shouldn’t speak too soon though, as it may rain Sunday and I need Sunday to complete my week. Hopefully it stays nice for a stretch.

Glad you had a good week!
We like to do the same thing with those roasted chickens... the salad thing and the bbq thing. YUM!
Ian needs to set a goal like you did on the idiot reactions to idiot drivers. I swear he is gonna get shot some day.
