Man I enjoyed my ride today, stopped for a couple of pics along the way. They put in a new bridge for bikes and pedestrians across the Rio Grande so I detoured slightly to go check it out:

 

Artist - 2011-04-11 9:20 PM 8.6 mile run tonight. By far farthest run. Sure helps to have running partners. Had to walk a few times but not very much and I ran every hill. Now I need to keep it up.

Abqti - i am sooooo jealous! BUT dont listen to an ipod while biking! we want you around for awhile.

i am taking a "day off" from work today, which means i am (a) currently watching a little Ozwald with the kids (b) getting my hair cut (c) getting a physical (d) getting my teeth cleaned (e) getting my emissions and registration renewed (f) trying to help a client not cause their own financial suicide despite his best effort (g) going for a run and hopefully a ride (g) taking kids to baseball and (h) goign to a meeting.... quite a day off huh?

You may get out of baseball -- looks like rain rain rain.

Thanks for the concern, but like I said in that thread, when riding solo (which is most of my rides) I wear my ipod with one ear bud in my right ear. My school of thought is if you aren't normally paying attention to your surroundings, music or talk radio in one ear won't help or hurt the situation any. 

Now, two ear buds, yeah, that would be pushing it in my estimation for some.

thats the most fun part of the day  

Lauren is the only girl on the team, she orders the boys around while wearing her pink helmet:

Lauren, age 7, "I want to play first base... James you play 3rd" 

James: "but I'm better at catching than you lauren" 

Lauren: "I'm playing first base." 

James "okay, I'll play 3rd"

Its going to be interesting when she is a teenager.

Artist - 2011-04-12 2:34 PM What do you use to carry water on your longer runs? I haven't done them in a while so not sure best way to take some without feeling weighed down. I have a couple of camel backs that I use for hiking and Mt biking, but they seem heavy and awkward. So what does everyone use and what are the ups and downs you have found-
