Well….back to running on time today and I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing….slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly this morning but I think I was under on calories again yesterday and I am getting really tired of thinking about it…we’ll see how bad it’s going to be when I get out on the bike here in a while….need to get some food out of the freezer to have tomorrow….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today will be the same with pool this aft but I really don’t need to get much done….don’t have a lot to do….T is going back to work today and I am a little worried about her…hope it goes okay…the car is back to not starting and I think I may have to start using the battery disconnect switch again…can’t wait to have a garage to work on it again….not much to do today…just going to ease into it with more coffee and some news….more later….

Well….it was torture on the bike yesterday and I was hoping that it would be better today…and it was…I had been under on calories for  a few days and I can’t remember a ride that was as bad as yesterday…so, I loaded in an extra 500 calories yesterday afternoon and it is weird how much that little bit of food did for my body…had a great ride today with plenty of energy and my hands didn’t even cramp up…so I do need to design an experiment to see if it is from the extra calories or what…all I know is that I don’t want to feel like yesterday on the bike ever again…and, one thing I am a little confused about is the fact that I’m not thin by any means and there should be plenty of energy in my fat stores to power a ride without distress so I guess I need to go out on the net and try to find what the mechanism is…..

well…running late again today and the reason is the same…needed to get out on the bike before the F1 race comes on and I just made it…slept okay last night and feel pretty good this morning with getting enough to eat yesterday…will talk about that a little more later….felt like crap all day yesterday and I’m sure it’s just from not eating enough….didn’t get anything else done with how I felt and today might be the same and it might not…I may get motivated later on but I’m not promising anything…the kitchen still needs work but I did get dishes done so I guess that’s something…don’t need to cook today so it’s going to be an easy one…and that is going to start right now with more coffee and the first race of the day…more later…..

Well…running really late today with getting out on the bike early so I can watch F1 qualifying….not eating enough yesterday and no coffee this morning made for a really, really hard ride today and I am still feeling it right now….but, the coffee is starting to work so I may survive it….slept okay last night but got up early again so that doesn’t help, either….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I will do some work around here today…the kitchen needs some work and I should do some but not right now….need to watch some sports first…there’s a time trial on the Tour today and that will be after qualifying….today was probably the worst ride I’ve had in months…I even made some toast and peanut butter after I got back here I was feeling so crappy…and I never eat breakfast…more later….

Well…running a little early today with needing to get on the bike by 7:30 to be back here to see F1 practice at 9…slept okay last night but I am still fighting the pain in my neck that I’ve had for a few days now….but, my back is better so I guess that’s a wash….got a few things done yesterday and I hope to get a few done today, too….but not too much….didn’t win the 500 million dollar Mega the other day and that is a little depressing….but, I’m not going to dwell on it…the Powerball is up to 150 million so maybe I’ll try that….I should do one of these on the trail happenings but nothing has happened so that would be a little bit of work….not much to do today….just going to ease into it…not really, need to get on the bike but need more coffee first….more later….

Well…of course I’m running late…it’s a Thursday after all and I did need to do the grocery run…. and I spent over 50 bucks and got nothing….and I didn’t win the 500 million dollar lottery…so, I’m depressed….slept okay last night but don’t feel that hot this morning and I know it’s from not eating enough…so, I’ll have to fix that today…still eating out of the freezer and I’ll have to see what I want for the weekend….I did wear my new shoes out today and they are pretty darn comfortable….and I like the clean look….I do need to stop at the farmer’s market to get some tomatoes today but I’ll do that on the bike since my last water stop is only 200 yds from it….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I’ll need to work on the kitchen today and unload the dishwasher….or not, who knows?  More later…

Well….just got back in from trying to even out the biker tan and I can’t believe I got scorched after only 25 minutes each on front and back…but that’s not what this one is about…I finally got a new pair of shoes today! Have been talking about doing this since at least January but everything didn’t come together until this week when I got some coupons from the Tanger outlet stores for 25% off any purchase. So, I headed over to the Skechers outlet store today and found some really cool (at least I think they’re cool) leather slip on, memory foam shoes for only 45 bucks after the coupon…not bad for a shoe that retails for 80 bucks. They are probably the lightest shoes I have ever had…I think they weigh what my new running shoes do and I thought they were the lightest shoes ever…these things are pretty damn comfortable and I can’t wait to break them in….they are even kind of stylish…I think….

Well….running a little early today since I need to get out on the bike before 7:30 to see the Tour…and it is really foggy out there and I like to ride in it…slept okay last night but had pain in my right ear from the earplug so I had to take it out…I may try to not use them anymore since the loud furnace upstairs is gone….I do have cramps in my calves already just walking around here today so I will have to take something before I get on the bike…didn’t get a lot done yesterday…no, that’s not true…got a bunch of stuff done toward getting a house and that is something…I wonder if I should skip the work out today….I have until 9 to get back here but I need coffee first so I may skip until tomorrow…more later….

Well….just looked at the counter and saw that I am ahead for the month by 11…and now 12 posts…that doesn’t happen very often and I’m not sure why it’s happening now…oh, well….I did get a good bike ride in today…my legs felt like they were supercharged and I could do whatever I wanted without any fatigue or pain…it made for a great ride today and that was on only two cups of coffee…I may have eaten enough yesterday and I think that has a lot to do with it…going to try that again today with making mac and cheese for the first time in over 10 years…and, I’m going to use real butter to make it…I did see that butter will keep on the counter for a week so it will be soft to use…going to have to take Tom’s suggestion and buy a butter dish
Thursday to give it a try…oh, and I did get the papers in today to cash in the life insurance to be ready to buy a house when I find one….was pretty easy but I ran out of ink for my printer…so I bought an entire set of 4 tanks from a re-manufacturer for only 9.81…so we’ll so how well they work…buying the same tanks from Epson was almost 40 bucks and I can buy a new printer for that amount…it’s just hard to throw a printer away that still works fine….

Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for a second one yesterday…it was a busy day and I just couldn’t think of  a topic…I know, there are lots of things happening but I get tired of writing about the rampant corruption going on right now….I did have a nice lunch with T yesterday and had lots of laughs which is always fun…and then out to pool which I lost but had a nice ride out and back with the top down…slept pretty crappy last night with lots of thrashing and woke up around 3:30 for the final time so I think I’ll have to have a nap later…my neck is still hurting from sleeping on it wrong and this is about a week now and that is really getting annoying….didn’t get anything done yesterday but I have things that need to be done today so I will have to get moving soon….but, more coffee first….more later…
