Week 2 of training

I had a busy weekend. Part of it was finishing up week 2 of official, schedule-driven mini-triathlon training, so I rode my bike most of the way to Mount Vernon and back (sounds a lot more exciting to say it that way instead of saying 10 miles) Saturday morning. Then there was a terribly exciting and quick thunderstorm and Saturday night I went out to play poker.  It was my favorite kind of poker playing -- I managed to leave with exactly what I'd bought in for, which let me not feel guilty for taking other people's money.

Sunday morning was the jogging part of triathlon-izing, and then I went out strawberry picking. This was much more successful than when I went out on the first weekend of the farm and I got like 4 pints without even trying (not counting those that I ate while in the field) and they are beautiful and tasty.

Speaking of strawberries, I'm getting my first CSA delivery this Thursday and it's supposed to have more strawberries, asparagus, kale, spring onions and basil. Yum. I still have 2 pts of strawberries from the weekend and might go out and get more this weekend, so I'm thinking of making some fruit spread of some sort.  I haven't eaten much of the peach and apricot preserves I made last year, but I don't know that that technicality should stop me from preserving more fruit.
