This morning's workout went MUCH better than expected. Having left the office at 8:30 last night I was a little tired. I_am_going_to_drink_water_all_day_today before tonight's masters workout. I think Bart will be joining us tonight.

I also think I am going to have tea and strumpets this afternoon. If I feel like I'm living in England, I might as well live like it.

I did some research this morning and found out that Houston, historically, gets 3.1 inches of rainfall ever January. According to Weather Underground Houston got 5.36 inches in January 2007. That is a 72.9% increase over the normal. And February is off to a good start. Thank God for trainers. Speaking of...

Let me say that if you take off the first three to four seconds on each of these 1 minute, 30 second intervals then the AVG PWR readings get to about 293-300. So these numbers are ever so slightly low.
