the feet, not defeat

I have not even been spinning lately. I have been working a lot and disgusted and disheartened with the weather. Today I did over an hour with the Aero base builder DVD and that blathering clown coach troy (but I like the DVD enough) my legs were quick to go to lactic acid land but I have to get back to it. Even when the weather is good I won't be able to ride Tuesdays or Thursdays as I will now be working another job from 4-6:15, to go with my 6:30-9:30 on those days. This week I worked T,W,R night and had 2nd job meetings Tuesday to set up the program. Why? I would think about saying no, but this may lead to a full time position so we will try it. I have not heard about grad school yet, although they did cash my check. I started a 90 day med to try to fix some smashed toenails. I hope it works. Side effects include GI issues and a temporary change in taste and smell. I have lost almost all desire to eat. It better be temporary. Sorry if that's TMI (too much info) but I don't think anybody but the authors and their significant others read this. I did find out that KS reads this but she likes Andy's posts better. He has good pictures. She says I have good crash stories.

I am grateful that my wife is so supportive and understanding, both of my crashes and my winter weight gain. Someone really should get me a helmet cam.

The bike show is next month and I want to go on the 15th (Sunday?) so I can try some recumbents...(anyone else?) I have to work or I'd go on Saturday.

A helmet cam! That way, you wouldn't have to blog about your crashes...you could just post the video. (Unless you got really hurt, of course, cause that wouldn't be funny.)

Have you checked my blog yet? Did I tell you that I bought a treadmill?

I checked it, you were researching, congrats on the new stationary moving sidewalk...of course it's not a real sport because REAL SPORTS REQUIRE SILLY CLOTHES, ie biking, kayaking.

After >10 years, I think I'm finally starting to take the weather for granted here in Northern CA. I've forgotten completely about cabin fever. Ugh. Horrible. At least I heard the groundhog didn't see his shadow... or did... or whichever one means an early spring. So hopefully you'll be able to get out in the nice (100 degree, 100% humidity) weather soon.

I don't know what you mean by silly clothing. There's nothing silly about a bright orange drysuit or a sparkly helmet that doubles as a disco ball.

Long time no hear tpb! Hope everything is going well. I hear that treadmills make great clothing racks, you know, for all those silly clothes you'll need for all those silly sports.
