RAIN!

Looks like a good amount of rain is headed our way, and of course right at noon. I'll be down at Barstow to see what its like and maybe do a little local tour, but nothing too far out as 30 degrees and wet can be a recipe for disaster. Wonder whats happening with WETC this weekend?

weekly rides with Carroll U

So I am attempting to start a Carroll University Road Team. Weekly rides will be established. Goes nicely with other waukesha stuff happening. First ride tomorrow (thursday) noon, tentatively meeting at the Barstow Building parking lot, its right behind taco johns downtown waukesha, only a few blocks from Ronsta's house. Gonna go do some hills at the Cot de Constantine and maybe Lapham Peak. I may be only Carroll U rider as this is just getting going, but there are a few guys around campus interested. Sorry about short notice, but weather permitting this will be going everyweek, maybe more rides to come! More details later tonight.

Sanity?

Just wondering if I have completely lost it since I actually am starting to enjoy and even look forward to 4 am rides on a stationary bike in a basement in front of a laptop....I guess using it as study time and a little gaming time in between efforts too hard for concentration makes its a bit nicer, but now I find myself smiling a lot of the time jamming to music a ton thinking the first 1 1/2 hrs is just a "warm up" and its getting past the 3 hour mark that really starts a ride?

weekend wrap-up

Friday-Speed Work AKA "hockey" till warmer temps. We won!

Saturday- 30 min Warm up/cooldown +2 hours tempo Solid!...Now tempo defined as Zone 3, or 164-174 BPM for me or somewhere a little ways under 260 watts since I don't have a tap or computrainer and have not tested that zone. But I read about certain people doing "tempo" for 5 hours? Either I am a lesser man in the ability to handle pain or we have a different defininition. Can anyone shine some light?

Sunday-Wiped out after riding all week, hockey game, and "tempo". Rest, Stuper Bowl, Load up on a bunch of food!

This morn got up 3:30 am and did some "hilly endurance" while studying for a quiz. 3 1/2 hours solid and actually found myself telling Lindsay I had a "Great Ride" this morning as she and Charis made their way outta bed.

Thats when I started questioning my sanity....

FULL SWING

Training has been in action since November. Picture of Kyle in front of the trainer fuels emotion to the legs. Closed eyes with visions of being embraced by his light filled body after our time here passes cause moments of ecstasy on 5 hour tours in the basement.

With hours inside coming easy this year, maybe one of these in the near future.

Oh yea we moved into a new house next door. Community building rapidly, sister Hannah and her new hubby Caleb moved in our old place, while we have some friends moving upstairs into Kyle's old place.

Back to books, school starts tomorrow

Knowing in part...

Words cannot express how much I Loved this MAN. But here is a bit of inspired Word from a man who understood it better than I.

"Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

-From 1 Corinthians chapter 13

Love remains and will throughout ETERNITY!

We all face the three that will remain at some point. These days Kyle is causing me to stay closer to that which will remain more than ever before in my life, while allowing that which will fade away to become dim in the character of who I am being.

When a seed dies, if planted well, watered and nourished with light, it brings forth new life. Allowing Kyle's life as it passes to bring redemption and new life, will happen if it is planted well, watered with Word and nourished with light in our hearts. All of those who are with the Ultimate Lover now would want nothing less to be done with their lives.

Thank You All for sharing life with us, and honoring my brother.

To the fading of the imperfect and the clothing of Kyle in perfection...

I have, do, and will always Love you My Brother, My Blood.
See you sooner than I think we realize,
Nathan

Bike Time?

More time on the bike this week than anticipated, just could not get out to the ski trails. So lots of base time on trainer and loving every minute of it actually, 3hrs mon., 2hrs tues., 2 yesterday., and some hockey tonight! We'll see how well this goes once the 5+hrs have to kick in...

I just refuse to ride in the cold...its torture, too much frostbite on this body, pin no matter how i dress..maybe i am just a wuss.
