CASUAL run challenge--july (Page 32)

so i finally got my tires dealt with. my dad has a compressor, so i took it over there (turns out that his compressor and my tires weren't compatible, but i sucked it up, and used my frame pump, and got them up to 100psi that is without a doubt as FULL as i can get them, but i'll have dh see if he can get them any higher) yesterday i rode it just down the street and back (it was freaking POURING down rain, but i couldn't resist LOL) it felt AWESOME!!!! it is going to take a while for me to get the whole gear thing down, it's really confusing to me for some reason, it's like i have an understanding of it in my head, but as a practical application, i got nothing LMAO!!

anyway, as soon as dh gets back from his power walk i'm taking it our for a good long ride.

yay tracy on getting in the 12's!!! that is SUPER RAD!!! i started out about a year ago in a 14 and i perfectly remember my first pair of 12's! (and 10's and 8's and so on ) there's absolutely something magic about running as far as getting in to smaller pants!! anyway, congratulations!!
my teeny little word of advise though, don't buy any pants in your new size that you completley LOVE, because you won't wear them for long before you'll be getting the next size down, and it's a heartbreaker to chuck pants that you love and haven't even had for very long.

BTW--you gonna be around much today? i was going to call you 1130-ish, my time.

oh yeah. i also swam today. like a maniac. you know, i really think i've figured out both my swimming problem, AND my bike problem. i need to RELAX!! i think because they are my weaker sports, i TRY really hard, and i'm so tense you know. so after another water panic attack (it was really REALLY cold again) i stayed closer to shore, and i tried to take it easy and relax. not try so hard. and i really felt like i was making more progress that way. and faster to boot. go figure. so for me, maybe that's key. i gotta just relax relax relax

tlnewman30 - 2008-07-31 8:05 AM Last night Laura and I went out to a resturante in Denver for our 3rd anniverssary.  It was called the Cork House.  It was reasonably priced, had an awesome wine list, and really good food.  If any of you are ever in the Denver area I highly reccomend going to it.

Thanks.

By the way I am upset about scrabbulous. However Scrabble Beta is working now. It isn't as user friendly, but has the same outcome.
