    Well, my and my sweetie just stood out in the freezing cold garage and discussed how we can organize it and store 16 bikes, 3 boats, 1 trailer, 2 sets of cars wheels, skis, snowshoes, waders, a workbench, garden tools, . . ., oh yeah and two cars. Oy. I'll think I'll go back to the wine.

    Happy Next Year, y'all.

    Something has to hang from the ceiling, but you can figure it all out tomorrow. Go back inside to your glass of wine.

    My mileage always drops off in the fall, and this year I had the half marathon in October. Between recovering from the tough back-to-back century event I did the last weekend in September, trying to salvage my run training, tapering for the race and then recovering after it, I rode very little in October. Then the weather starts to go off in Ohio, there's the holidays, moving, and riding in Florida where it's so boring that no one wants to ride any distance even though the weather is usually nice.

    I knew I wasn't going to get 5,000 bici miles in '09, but I made the mistake of looking at my year-end running stats after my long run on Wednesday, and realizing that I was either going to have to blow my recovery day yesterday, or finish the year 8 miles short of 750 and 5 miles short of my first 100-mile month. I was a bit twinge-y from my long run, so wound up with the better part of valor - I'll start the year with January being my first 100-mile month, instead.

    Our New Year's Day ride was rained out this morning. I was just as happy to turn my alarm off and roll back over in bed. I think I'll probably take the commuter out for just a couple of wet miles, just to kick the year off, although it's too chilly for me to get soaking wet.

    I vote for the cars! Sometimes the biggest disincentive to taking the moto is just the time it takes to put on all the gear. If it took 10 minutes to winch the car down from the ceiling it might be different.

    But then, where would I put the pull-up bar I keep promising myself? Something's got to hang from the ceiling, and I'm afraid it's ME.

    Since we both already work from home, I'm never going to feel guilty about car use.

    And we live in a serious snow environment. The skis just stay in the car.
