Over the hill

Today is it.  I can no longer call myself 20 something.  I know that 30 isn't usually the age that people start to freak out about their midlife crisis, but it is a bit unsettling to know that I am no longer "young."  I guess I just have to start hanging out with older people.  
Training has been consistent.  Sunday was a 2 hour run, which I suffered for afterwards.  Too many hills and not enough stretching/water afterwards.  Yesterday was an hour on the rollers, to keep things moving.  Today was two hours, with 3 one foot pedalling drills (3x5x70 each foot) and some skating with the kids at practice.  
I hope that this year goes well for me, race wise.  I have been pretty focused on the training and I haven't even been able to ride outside much.  I don't want to feel old, and I certainly don't feel mature, so this year is important to me and I hope I perform well.  
On that note, I also registered for 24 hours of Great Glen, a race where I am going to give'er, and the Gravel Grinder, led by the local bike savant George at www.bike29.com
Should be fun.
