The sun and weather were warm down here is Some-wheres-ville, Florida this weekend. Ah what a relief. It actually, finally feels like spring is starting to make a break through and winter is starting to melt away. Of course when the weather gets a little nicer THG’s allergies start to kick up. My car was covered in a film of bright yellow pollen all week and my nose has been running like it is in a 10K race. Even my road bike had a light film of yellow across its frame! Which leads me to the question, “Is it cycling season, already?”

It is cycling time again. Get on it!

THG did around 55 miles on the bike this weekend. It was well worth it for the body, heart and mind. Of course, my stomach was screaming to be filled with carbs, proteins, water, beer and unexpectedly chocolate. You may ask how did I go about satisfying these digestive needs? Let me tell you how I cured personal hunger….. chocolate covered peanuts, watching the end of the Maryland vs. Virgina basketball game (note: Terps claimed a share of the ACC regular season championship with a 13-3 conference record, Let’s Go Maryland!). After watching the Terps win, I was an idiot for a few hours and waited until approximately 8pm to get dinner. When I wait around a while to get dinner when I’m already hungry the results are not always good. However, with subtle self control and anticipation my stomach was greeted by a delicious dinner of grouper with sweet potato fries and a Dogfishhead IPA. But the real surprise and treat was the “Cowboy cookie” that the doctor babe and I shared for desert. As someone who rarely eats desert this cookie was a real treat. The Cowboy cookie was about an inch thick with peanut butter, caramel, chocolate and walnuts. Dude was that good!

You done, Eat!
