| April 22, 2002 Hello all, Well, I'm in high gear right now, getting ready for a couple of big weeks coming up. I leave in 3 DAYS on my bike trip to the Algarve, which is actually looking to be fairly easy (if 600km in 2 days can be easy). We've been doing some long training runs and we just take it slow and the distance adds up gradually. Surprising how easy it can feel when you're prepared (knock on wood!). Last week I had a little setback when my knee started giving me some troubles - some weird pain I'd never felt before - but it seems to be OK now (did 75km on Saturday and it was fine). Wish me luck! I've been working really hard for about the last week and a half fo finish all my lesson plans for the next two weeks so that when my girlfriend arrives I won't have to spend my days working on lesson plans. She's arriving the day after I get back from the Algarve and staying a week and a half :) Well, that's the news for now, except that we've had wonderful weather for the last 2 weeks. Oh yeah, and GO LEAFS!! Phil |
