Another day here in beautiful, sunny, freezing Stoneham, MA...
Up early this morning for a good session at the old gymski. I did weight training and a swim this morning. I have found that early workouts don't afford a lot of time for multiple forms of cardio.
As people may remember from my posts about triathlon training... typically the training involves "bricks" of training. A brick would be multiple forms of cardio... i.e. bike then swim or running and biking. There isn't a lot of time for weight training and a brick in the morning. I have found a good strategy for me is to hit the individual cardio type with some weights during the week... then do a brick and some weights on the weekend. So there... stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

As is the typical case... after the gym I was driving to work and got stuck with a local cop on my tail before I got to the highway. now, everyone has had this moment of fear having a cop behind them... Even though you are not doing anything wrong, you just get alittle nervous, right?
I did EXACTLY the speed limit all the way through braintree... but the guy was still riding about 5 inches from my bumper. Seems a little unsafe right? But what are you gonna do??? speed up and get speeding ticket? No... so I just dealt with the 5-0 just tailgating me like a prison movie.
As I got to a spot that had a brief 2 lane section (which I know from a ticket I got at 16, that the extra lane is for entering traffic from adjacent streets, not for passing)... the guy just guns it past me.

That would be a one way pass to the county courthouse to pay my civic dues to the commonwealth... for any of our readers not from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts... Massachusetts is a commonwealth, not a state. Deal with it.
Anyways... i survived and will keep on fighting the good fight. And in the words of TJ's favorite song "Dirt Road Anthem" -- jason Aldean's version -- "Better watch out for them boys in blue"... true dat.
