Well, that is not really how it happened, but Alicia and Jason are the proud parents of a happy and healthy baby boy. Dillion Issak was born yesterday, around 6:30 pm. Even though I didn't witness the event, I must confess it was one of the warmest, and most heart-touching events I have seen take place in someones life. I am so happy for you all three of you, and my thoughts and prayers will continue for your new family.
So, I could pretty much end the post there, because that is what went down over the weekend. Alicia went into the hospital on Wednesday, mild labor began on Friday, and out popped Dillon on Saturday evening. As you may have guessed, plans changed a bit for everyone this weekend. I did not roll down to Springfield, nor did I really give my bike all that much attention. I was facinated by the begining of this new story. Here is a quick run down since last Thursday:
I ran some errands, and did some core work before taking Alicia some clothes, but not before I got to panty-raid her dresser (that's right, I know she is married with child, but who could resist?). So, she told me to bring some particular shirts...so I brought five, thinking one of them had to be the right one (bingo!). So, then it was off to work. I was exhasted when I got home, so no workout for me. We went to see Alicia and Jason at Boone that evening.
Friday: I opened at work, made a delivery, hiesmanned a fitting (actually, my client didn't show up) and came home to ride. Then, I went back to work, closed, and went to the hospital to chill with J & A. Baby wasn't too far off.
Saturday...lazy day. I woke up at 5:00 am to run over to TJ's and tell him he was on his own for the weekend. Then, Krista and I did some work around the house, went to the hospital, took a nap, did more work, then went to the hospital just in time to hear the baby was arriving (as we were entering the hospital). We hung out there most of the evening, and came home, exhausted once again. No ride, no exertion what so ever.
Sunday: Slept in again. I made breakfast, and we did some more stuff around the house. Then, we went to Target, Wal-Mart (devil), Famous, and Hy-Vee to get our shop on. By 1, we were back and I was ready to ride. Krista wanted to nap, so I cleaned the house a bit. I got out on the bike a bit later, just long enough to call it a ride. Nothing structured, just nice easy recovery.
This week marked the last recovery week of the season (that is, until I hang my bike up and try and forget about it). This comming week will be really tough, as I plan on schlacking myself several times before the weekend. State Crit is this weekend, followed by Tour of KC...should be some good times.
