Well, the small initial steps for moving have begun and now that it’s official, it actual packing that looms is causing me great dread and stress. When are they going to invent a teleport machine! However as the days count down to moving day I continue to get more and more excited about the next chapter in my life. The changes it will bring in life, my art, my training and ambition are all welcome challenges that will make me a better person, Dad and artist. 
The girls are great! With the exception of general new parent issues and growing pains of a set of twins Lucile and Leola are growing by leaps and bounds by the second. This past Friday we celebrated their 8 weeks with a trip to the doctor for the first round of their shots. They were real troopers! One of the hardest things for us so far is to see them in pain and not be able to do anything but hold them. It’s so heart breaking to not be able to do anything but let them scream. Lucy was really constipated all weekend and she would just look at me with those blue eyes as if she was saying, ”please help me daddy”. It killed me!
Training is going really good. Except for having to cut some long bikes I’m moving right along. Right now with all the general stress, lack of adequate sleep and guilt from being away from the girls I feel that spending the day resting with the girls and help Faith is much better spent right now instead of a 7 hour bike ride. However, it will come a time in the training that fitting those in will be more crucial, currently it gives me more juice for my weekly workouts. This past week was week 4 of the May training cycle.

Even though I was wiped out Friday after the BRICK, I felt good about the way body responded to the pace vs effort.
Tomorrow I will begin the process of cleaning out my studio and packing it up. I will be out of it in the next couple of weeks.
My friends here in New York have been SO supportive about the move and it warms my heart that they understand and wish me the best and hopefully miss me.
But I Shall Return!

I just have to say the pics of the girls are too cute. They are getting so big and those chubby little faces are just precious. The pic of you with your daughter is just precious, I think being a daddy suits you.
One never understands just how long your workouts are, now I kind of get an understanding of them... myself swimming today and just hitting a goal of 1650yds and it was not even planning, that was a bit of work... I can never imagine swimming 4000yds in one shot.
Good luck with cleaning out the studio tomorrow... after the move I can't wait to hear about how the Dorothy project turns out... I know you will finish it.
