I hate riding in the cold weather and as such already have my old bike firmly established on the trainer in the basement. I don't know how many more days there will be like today so I thought that this afternoon I better take advantage. The problem was that I have not a single spare tube, and my computer wasn't charged. What do do? What to do?
Oh I know. I go just go for a ride. No schedule, no speed goals, no time constraints. No stress!!
It was that kind of a day and it felt good. I also went to the pool this morning only to find the 2 available lanes filled with floaters, and instead of letting that get to me I spent a half hour stretching in the hot tub, and then went back home. I do have to do something different there for the winter because trying to swim in those conditions does cause me lots of stress. I'll figure something out.
So nice to hear from Older, Softer, Mary today. I consider it quite a coup to stir her to a comment. I think she really wanted to take credit for saving my life. I think I neglected to mention that my helmet was busted Mary, so thanks to Therese Rose for reminding me to put it on.
Odd John, the problem with a spring marathon is really the timing. Both the training and the race itself seem to leave me over extended just when I'm getting into the heart of it. It's like peaking too early. Perhaps if I wasn't such an A type, and could just accept a fun marathon it might be a different story. In hindsight it was that day in Waterloo last May that started my problems. I should have quit at 30 kilometres but I couldn't do it. I really, really beat myself up and then never recovered. I'm pretty sure skipping it is the smart thing to do.
Fat Elly, I typed this whole thing on my tablet with one finger so if there's any spelling or grammar problems would you mind fixing them for me. And just how do I get on this "speakers circuit"?
Good to hear from you too Larry. I wish you'd get a more interesting name though. Maybe Mary can help. I'd call you queer Larry but some people might get the wrong idea eh?
And does anyone know if Cory's alive? She owes me some money and won't answer my text? I may have to go to her house.
Easy ride.

Feel free to call me queer Larry, when it comes from someone who loves you it's a fine compliment.
ReplyDeleteLove queer old Larry
I am in awe of you Larry! You took it to the next level! I am so blessed to know you because I absolutely know that this world is a better place because of you!
ReplyDeleteTo my lovely husband...I enjoy reading your blogs!
Well, if Mary can be old and soft and Larry can be old and queer, I wanna be old and sassy, which is different from when I used to just curse at everything! That's it, sassy old elly.
ReplyDeleteYour Hubbard quote need an apostrophe (man's), but you need to change it, I can't!
As for speaking, you do up resumes, tell people you want to talk and you want them to pay you. Then you need to do it so that people hear you and then everyone wants to hear you. But trust me on this one, don't use the same coach you used for your amazing race clip!
