I got pretty lucky in the husband department.
James has been nothing short of superman these past couple months as i've been working and training a lot. We joke that he is the "ironwidow" . Leaving the house at 5am and coming home at 6pm or later after 2 workouts and days full of kids and parents leaves me a little useless in the housewife department. Somehow, I ended up with a man that not only doesn't mind my crazy schedule, but actually supports it. And where I'm lacking in the household department, he picks up all the slack. Good thing he loves to cook! I have an healthy, veggie-and-protein-filled dinner waiting for me at least 6 nights a week thanks to chef james. Bike cleaning and maintenace? James. Hot coffee brewed daily by 5 am? James. Monthly ordering of vitamins and supplements that are good for me? James. Really, what doesn't he do? He understands that my schedule is nuts and he is (As i've mentioned here before), the most efficient person on the planet. Chores that take me 3 days (folding laundry) take him 3 minutes. So pretty much, I get home from a busy day and all there is left to do is eat and relax (and pack and unpack my 10 bags of clothes and gear, but he can't do everything, right?).
well, just when i thought it couldn't get any better, today he came home with these...

my very own pair of race wheels- 808 clinchers, just like I told him last week I was dreaming of! This is a BIG deal because I have never had my own race wheels. I love you James, and not just for the fast wheels, because of EVERYTHING you do every day. love love love.
To celebrate, I actually made dinner for once. Here's a picture of mine....salad with EVERYTHING (mixed greens, spinach, carrots, beets, pickles, onion, tomato, broccoli, avocado, sunflower seeds, egg white, baby portobellas, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes and that's gotta be it.) Mine was topped with tofu, james' with yellowfin tuna (he hates soy!)

yum. Hope your Wednesday was as good as mine. On to Thursday! I smell early morning running hill repeats!

My husband is the same exact way! We are so lucky to have such great guys that understand that training is a priority!

You do have a great husband! My husband is also a great guy. Maybe he will read this and bring me home race wheels! :)

True, James does hate himself some soy. I mistakenly brought that up on our ride last weekend, he hates it like I "hate on" triathletes!
You know he is the best!!! And mine is the best:) Sweet wheels!!

I have to thank you too for the great idea of putting a sugar free packet of hot cocoa mix in my oats, tried that one day with a banana and was loving it! If I have it again I'm definitely putting in peanut butter on top! Try the apple for sure, so good!
nice....sweet accessory for O'side! Keep up the training, getting close. Have a good one!
i think i just threw up in my mouth a little!

I own the company that makes all the decals for the Zipp wheels. If you want to change your decals to a different color just let me know. Great gift!
