I’m back home after a two day trip to Boston. Gus and I headed down on Friday to meet up with Jess, who had just flown in, and Ryan foster, who is living down in the area finishing up architecture school. It’s about a 2.5 hour drive to get from my house to B-town, so It’s not a bad trip and we try to make it over a a few times a year for a Sox game. We’ve been on a pretty good winning record with our trips, getting to see Lester’s no hitter last spring and then Friday’s win against Tampa Bay. Friday’s game was kind of a mellow game until the 6th when the Sox came from 3 down to 3 ahead. pretty sick rally. 
Even though we were down in the ‘city’ we didn’t have to put up with the crowds too long since Ryan lives a little bit out of town so we got a chance to kick it at his lake house for a while on Friday. Since the Boston trip Jess, Gus, and I have returned home to VT and started back into the training. It was good to have another skier around to hammer out some intervals with me this morning.
The next few days of training are going to be basic, with some easy distance and some more intervals and strength on Tuesday. Then it’s time to head west on Wednesday for Bend Camp. I’m going to do a quick stop in LA on Thursday and Friday to do an Olympic NBC thing. These things are pretty funny… we did one before the 06 games. We get to spend a day with the USOC filming some ridiculous stuff for different TV shows that they will probably never use once the Olympics are here. I’m getting fired up for Bend though, It’s going to be awesome to get on snow again!                            Fenway
