Today's entry is late because... no, not because of my planned bike ride, that has been delayed because... after eating breakfast I decided to lay down for another couple of minutes and was out like a light... for 2 hours. Hell! And when I did get up (late!) I decided to take the dogs for a walk in the park. It's cool out, mid 60's (F). While there, we were stopped by a woman who commented on Biggie's size. As I've said before, he's very big for a Boxer. And it isn't that he's fat, it's just that he's big.
I'm off today and tomorrow... on the legit, scheduled days off, in other words. Since I missed my window of opportunity for a ride this morning, I've rescheduled for tomorrow, though later in the morning. This morning my route was going to take me over to Highmark, but there will be a lot of traffic that way tomorrow so I'll shift back to my old route up Tower Road, fewer cars, less chance of getting bumped off the road by some asshole talking on his / her phone.
I guess the Idiot Jerk is at G7. I just had some sort of news flash where there was screen shot of him dozing off next to the Japanese Prime Minister. I guess he agreed "in principle" to sign some sort of trade deal. Translation: Don't count on it. This fool has a terrible record of following through on commitments: he thinks contracts have as much value as toilet paper.
Yesterday I rode halfway through the 27 mile Bow Tie ride, in other words 13.59 miles. I stopped because my butt was beginning to hurt. I'll ride again this afternoon. It's gotten to the point where I'm riding almost every day of the week, which is fine with me. I changed the battery in my HRM and readings are back to normal, no more sections where it says my heart is beating 230 times a minute. Right now I'm averaging between 124 and 133 which is not bad when you do it for 45 minutes. It's not going to be an option this afternoon. Nope. Lily was 6 years old on August 19 and today we're going to celebrate with cake and ice cream. Yum.
you will have to post pix of lily and her cake. I turned off the air conditioner and opened the windows. the cats LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI did that, too. This is great weather!
DeleteThe weather here in Virginia is great too. A pleasant shock to the system when walking outside!
