Gonna Be So Fresh...

Jul 12, 2012 23:23

Tomorrow will be my first day back on the bike since Monday. I've given my legs and tender backside a chance to fully recover from last Saturday's punishment, I think, and I'll be as tapered as can be hoped for in two days' time. I've also been to the gym three times already this week. In many ways, it's more relaxing to go and work out hard for an hour than it is to ride easy for several hours. It probably burns up the same amount of calories, but it feels so much different. Still haven't managed to adapt to going to work in the morning rather than midday. That may end up being my downfall... That and the heat.

Not much else to report today. Made it through another day of work. Ate some corned beef and some pastrami. Liked the corned beef better. Drank plenty of coffee. Drank even MORE water on Alisher's recommendation to "hydrate, hydrate, hydrate two days before." Watched Khan knock out Judah while I processed will call tickets. Listened to NPR and podcasts. Rode the bus twice. Turns out if you leave for work at 9:30 instead of 9, at least recently, you're much more assured of an ok seat and far less jostle.

Did laundry after work. Went to the gym after laundry. Once again did not use "must be paid for water" from my own shower at home. Leaving the gym clean is a very, very refreshing revelation. But it doesn't work if I ride a bike to get there, because I have to also ride a bike to leave.

Staying at Eric and Angela's tomorrow night. Have a show to work first, then will hit theirs to carbo-load and hopefully go right to sleep. The next thing I know, I'll be on a bike for 12 hours, heading south to Portland. And summer will be that much more complete. And vacation will be that much closer to happening. And THEN I'll totally have some substance to write about!

stp, cycling
