Finally rode the commuter bike on the commute today! It means my tri-bike has no pedals right now (as the bike shop is ordering some cheapo looks for the commuter, and while waiting the good pedals are on the commuter bike). I also got a flat. I think the tube on the bike wasn't really…

… or something. Anniversary of what, you might ask? Well, that’s the tough question. There is definitely the easy answer: My first tri was this day in 2004. On a borrowed hybrid bike, and reverse order (Redlands Tri). Wooo 2 years of addiction. But there is also the answer that I seem to remember more.…

Swimming (with Lisa) was good yesterday. She doesn’t look at all as broken as I was worried about! And her swim form in particular looks great as always. This morning though my bed was too warm, and I had been up to late. I may run this evening, or I may let the BAAR Brawl…

Ok so yes, I did a lot this weekend. I earned my rest day today! Only pilates, and I'll be good after that. I promise! I didn't even bike commute (thanks to an 8am meeting when I get here at 8:30 on the bike). But yeah, damn that was a great weekend! Friday I extended…

It was a good weekend of accomplishment! Got my computer working (I had fried the hard drive about a year ago, and had a new one sitting around for a while. Even managed to recover all the stuff on the old drive! wooo!) Pilates on Saturday – I've been wanting to try more of the…

It’s in the mail… Jer, Lisa and I have now been committed. To Vineman (then we’ll see where else they commit us to…). It should be awesome! Ran this morning, and it went alright. It was basically still dark, and with some tunes on very low and the morning noises it was calming and great.…

There are 3 Vineman apps sitting next to me right now. Just gotta walk across the street to the postoffice either today or tomorrow (depending on time) and then Lisa, Jer and I will be set! This weekend was fun. Jer came out here, and he and Lisa and I went for a bike ride…

There is something about sharing goals that makes them more real for me… but first I’ll start with the beginning. A fellow blogger on the other site I use posted a great “1st 50k” report, and I told him so and that someday I’ll be there. He told me he’s read my IM report, and…

There is a towel hanging out of the desk drawer behind me, bike shoes under the chair, and my beautiful bike in the hallway. I feel like I fit in with you other bike commuters today! Took metrolink most of the way in, biking the last 10 miles (where it doesn't go – yet). Instead…
