July non TdF challenge (Page 5)

The wog is done! I feel like a fried egg though.

Cool. That was a double post. Evidently, BT felt that I needed a special post pad.

did a run and bike today.  was just going to run, but the charcoal didn't light before I ran so I had more time.  worst part about the bike was the pack of fleas I found.  All of sudden had this little brown things on me and biting.  bastards.  I did an out and back so of course - found them twice.  That'll teach me to go shirtless.

Help! I'm addicted to Versus on TV. All they've been showing today is TdF coverage (past and present). And I CANNOT TURN THE TV OFF!

It would only help if you used it on the people that were keeping me there. 

To pad or not to pad. That is the question.
Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the tasers and slander of outrageous padding
or to take arms against the sea of padding and by opposing end them?
To rest, to sleep,  no more! and by training to say we end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks the flesh is heir to; tis a consummation devotedly to be wished.

Got in a ride today. It was a little more than I was expecting. I figured about 30 miles along two different trails. One trail meanders all over the place and crosses other trails. I took a wrong turn a couple of times and had to backtrack. Other times I ended up on a trail that took me out into a neighborhood and I had to ride around until I found the right trail again. Then the trail map for the second trail wasn't very accurate. It showed the trail ending at 9 miles where it comes to the freeway. Then it should have been just a couple of miles to my sister's for the family festivities. Well the trail ended at 9 miles but I still have a while to ride to get to the freeway where I thought the trail ended. I took a maintenance road (I was on my mt bike) and picked up a thorn. No problem, I'll just pull out my patch kit and fix it. Well, that won't help when I leave the pump at home!  No problem, I'll just call the wife and have her come get me. Well she hadn't been feeling well so she had laid down for a nap and was just leaving. So i started walking. I almost made it there by the time my family caught up with me. The ride has potential though. I'm going to do some more research and ride the trail in reverse to see if that helps (the first trail will also take me home from work and should be about 20 miles).

This training thing is going to getting "interesting"! Today being the 4th, of course there are pool parties and fireworks so my girlfriend has made sure the social calendar is scheduled like a military operation.  My instructions include going shopping for supplies to last through 2 pool parties and a fireworks show tonight - drinks, snacks, ice, yada yada for her and her three daughters (16, 13, and 10 yrs old) plus my 10 yr old son(which means of course everyone demands something different), then load the trunk with chairs, blankets, towels, sunscreen, bugspray, etc etc.  Imagine her pleasure when I left for a bike ride and weight workout!
I happened to be watching a documentary about three guys running across the Sahara - told her it could be worse and that I could be doing that.  Believe it or not, she didn't see the humor.

Well, that was the intent. Although, I suppose using it on yourself would have impressed the people shanghaing you.

*I* see the humor!

Of course, that ^^^ might be a little harsh, seeing as how it's only the 4th day of the month, and it's a holiday weekend. (And I accounted for some vacation time in my own goal-setting....)

But after all, "Evil" is my middle first name.

Want to wog. I love summer, but I don't love wogging during it.....

Happy Monday! (I go back to work tomorrow, so Tuesday won't be so happy.)
