As interesting as Friday's "$1,000" post is, it's time to move on. There were some really good answers in there. Vaughn's suggestion is probably the best, since it's little expenses like entry fees and travel that chip away at your reserves.
Although one can't help but wonder how much of a difference coaching and power would make. That could be pretty fun, too. And then there's Shim's question - $5,000 to $10,000? Pretty easy at our house. Spruce up the bathrooms, fix the siding, get a new air conditioner. Well, that money is gone.
OK, really — moving on ... .
Specifically, it's time to get ready for Cranksgiving. As of right now, the weather forecast looks OK — high of 52, afternoon sunshine. Of course, we've seen it swing both ways, so lord knows how that's going to turn out. Regardless, last-minute preparations will consume my week.
Luckily, I was able to get out on the road yesterday with a small group. By and large, I felt pretty good. But I under-ate, which is completely my fault, and had a sore back by the end of it. I still ended up with 81 miles in 4:20 or so. Not a bad day, but I'll just chalk it up to "suffer practice" and call it good.
I'm guessing there will be a lot more "suffer practice" before all is said and done. No complaints here.
