Well…running a little late today after getting up at 7:20…that is really late for me and that puts me late for the entire morning…just got the first cup of coffee and it’s almost 8…slept okay last night and feel just a little slow today and I hope that will go away after the coffee….I did get some errands done yesterday and got 4 new t-shirts to replace the ones that my sweat has eaten through….got some really strange colors that I think are cool and they will go into the rotation today…also got a huge pizza from daily deals for 1.99 that was too big to put in my freezer so I had to bake it yesterday…not a bad pizza but the sauce is a little strange…still a good deal for that price…didn’t get anything else done yesterday but I think I’ll do some cleaning today and there is a dirt race on tv tonight so I’ll have something to watch…more later….

Well…running a little early today with getting up kind of early today….slept okay last night but still feel a little slow today…want to ease into the day and I think I will…had a nice run out to pool and back but it was hot and I think my 30 sunscreen isn’t working too well since I got back here with some color…oh, and I won at pool for the first time in a few weeks….didn’t get anything else done yesterday but I have some errands to run today…need some new t-shirts from target and I want to stop at daily deals to get a 1.99 16 inch pizza to try….didn’t eat enough yesterday with only having some taco casserole and then a couple of pieces of pizza at pool but just couldn’t eat more without the guilt kicking in….so, the legs will be flat on the bike again today…it was brutal yesterday with the humidity being so high but today looks better today…more later….

Well…running a little early today and there’s no reason for it….had an okay day for my birthday yesterday but didn’t do much…I did get out to have one with K but that was about it…was really hoping for some rain but it didn’t happen other than a few drops on the way back…I think that may happen today but I want to put the top down out and back to pool today so it can hold out until after then….didn’t get anything done yesterday but that was the plan…and today will be the same…just the normal routine for the morning and then out for pool later…feel a little too slow right now to do much so I am going to wait for the coffee to work and read a little news…more later….
July 15th
Well…another day, another year older and I’m not sure what I think about that….slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly today and I am looking forward to the bike ride…kinda glad that I’ve decided to not do anything special today…don’t think I’m up for it and I am happy to just let the day flow…thought about going out to have a big steak to mark the day but I have so much food here that needs to be used that I can’t really do that….I did get some chores done yesterday and it is nice to have a clean bathroom and bed….but I won’t do much today other than the bike ride with the world cup final on at 10…..so that means I need to get on the bike here in a few minutes and I need more coffee…so that’s what I’m going to do…more later….
No feats of strength this year…
Well…if you’ve been here the past few years, you’ve seen that I normally try to think up some athletic feat to perform on my birthday that is usually doing something on the bike…like the year when I turned 56, I rode 56 miles and last year when I turned 64, I rode the bike 100 miles….just to prove to myself that I still can do those things..but, after spending 8 hours in the saddle last year, I really can’t think of anything else I want to do this year…I’m already beating my records for mileage for the year so far so I guess that will have to do….so, unless I get some kind of inspiration tonight, it looks like an easy day for me tomorrow…
July 14th
Well…running late today with getting out on the bike before coming here…and it was not a good idea to go out without having coffee first…made the ride just torture but I’m glad I got out before the storms come in…had huge cramps in my hands the whole way and I’m not sure what that is about…they normally go away after the first few miles but not today…slept okay last night but got up early today…it is strange to get up at 6:50 and be on the bike by 7:10….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks to be the same with the tour on now and then going over to watch the third place match from the world cup…the game that no one wants to play so it may not be a good one….I do need to do some laundry in a few minutes but I am trying to get some coffee in first…this is just not the right sequence with the coffee….don’t think I’ll do that again…didn’t even get a full glass of water in before the bike ride and that didn’t help…more later…
July 13th
Well…man, I feel like crap this morning and I think it may be the new allergy medicine I used last night….wanted to try something other than the red dots I had been using but I think these are not going to do it….slept okay last night but feel tired as heck today so I think I’ll have to ease into it with more coffee…I did get the car cleaned yesterday but it may have rained last night so I may have to do it all over…but, probably not…geez…my lungs are congested today and I wonder where that came from…just not feeling too hot….I did run the ac in the car yesterday and it is still cold so I can run it out to pool Monday in the storms….I did get a few things done yesterday and I should do more today but I’m not sure how much I’ll do feeling like this….just want to hit the couch and veg but I do have a couple of things to do this morning….and have some cleaning to do later but need to let the coffee work first….more later….
The spandex boys are back…
Well…you’ve heard me rant before that no one, and I mean no one should ever wear spandex…at least I’ve never seen anyone who looks good in it…but, the spandex is blooming again now that the Tour de France is going on…this happens every year when groups of newbies decked out like cycle teams infest my trails. It started Sunday when I saw the first one….a guy about my height but weighing approximately 250 pounds went by…and every roll of fat stuck out like a balloon that is being squeezed…and he had the seat of the bike so low that he could barely pedal…now, I normally don’t comment on people’s looks but damn, didn’t he look in the mirror before he left his place? There is still two more weeks to go in the tour so I guess I’ll just have to look the other way….
July 12th
Well….running on time for a Thursday and that means it’s a little late for a normal day….not sure why but I feel pretty crappy this morning…probably from not eating enough but I am going to fix that today…going to make a taco casserole and then some chicken thighs so I hope that fixes it…slept okay last night but my bed looks like a hurricane hit it so I must have tossed a bit…I had both earplugs in when I got up so that was new….I am a little disappointed that England lost yesterday but it should still be a good final…and I found out the Ukrainian woman at the checkout is actually from Croatia and she is happy that they are in the final……I did get a bunch of errands run yesterday and I may even clean the car today but I need to get the bike ride in first…not much to do today….going to just cook today and then veg it out…more later…
July 11th
Well…running on time today and I really shouldn’t be…haven’t been feeling that hot the past few days and I’m not sure what it is…slept okay last night but have this feeling of fatigue today so I think I’ll ease into it…I did have a nice lunch with T yesterday and it is funny to see her turning into a soccer geek like me…but, Belgium lost yesterday and that is a little depressing…but I still have England to root for this afternoon and then the final on Sunday…and the premier league starts back up in a couple of weeks so that will give me something to watch…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but have errands to run after the ride today that will take me to lunch….need to figure out what to cook but nothing looks too appealing so that may be a chore…more later….
