Alex and I rode the river trail Saturday morning. The ride started out overcast and a crisp 48 degrees. I'm about 13 minutes behind the time I was completing the ride in awhile back. I've decided not to schedule any races this year until my knee is better. I found I was stressing way too much about being ready for the big race in May.

I will also be moving the week before Valentine's into a new apartment closer to work. Close enough in fact that I'll be walking to work every day. The new place will be roughly 3/4 of a mile away. I've been out of the Marines for 10 years and this will be the first place without roommates of some kind. MY home sweet home.
