Stupid Hurts

After two weeks off my bike I finally managed to make the time needed to get it back together and ride a few miles on the new tires. My first errand was to retrieve my car from a parking lot because the battery decided to die on my way home from work this morning.

While packing up my freshly charged battery I realized it was sad that I own enough backpacks to have the thought, “this isn’t going in my good messenger bag, which of my others bags should I take.”

I honestly think I have managed to find the most hardcore workout ever. Attacking hills for several miles with a 25 pound battery strapped to my back was enough to leave me dizzy and close to vomiting on the side of the road.

Yeah it was fun.

So after getting my battery installed I broke down my bike and drove home. I actually stayed inside long enough to change into more cycling friendly clothing before running out to do a few more miles.

Today has been an amazing day. Well aside from car breaking down or course. I had a great time talking to a friend online for a few hours. I got a call offering a job installing networks and traveling. I saw one of my favorite responsible adults and she imparted wisdom. I got to ride a few miles and get my heart pounding. And most importantly I got a HEAVILY discounted ticket reserved for Rome this summer.

Now if I just can get some sleep finally.
