Put in 3,400 yards yesterday, though some of it was kicking, w/ my new fins.
Down a couple of more lbs too, which has me thinking I might go lift some weights or put in a few more laps today.....
Or not.

At last! 75F at sunrise today, 40F dew point. It felt cool for about 45 seconds. Good strong 12-mile ride with some hills. Looks good for tomorrow, too.

Zoiks! Haven't posted here in a while, but rest assured, I've been keeping at it with the bike. I've hit all my monthly goals thus far - I did a 15-mile ride for August, and did a 20-miler last weekend. It's cooled down enough now that I'm riding every evening during the week, doing a 5-mile loop in my neighborhood, working on getting my average speed up. 5 miles is taking me 20 to 25 minutes, which is a decent jump from my average a month ago of around 10mph. The speed radar unit on one of my routes I hit the first time at 12mph; last weekend I made it read 25mph, so that felt awesome.
On my weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) the shortest ride I'll do now is in the 15 mile range, and I've chosen a route that takes me up lots of hills, and then generally down at about the halfway point, so the last half goes much faster than the first half. I'll usually finish off with a lap or two of the Circle C Veloway in southwest Austin (it's a 3.17 mile paved loop in the woods that is off-limits to everyone EXCEPT bicyclists and rollerbladers).
This weekend, I plan to do a 15, a 20, and a 15, for a total of 50 miles in one weekend. By end of October, I'm set on doing a 25-miler, then 30 by Thanksgiving and 35 by New Year's. And now I know with 100% certainty that I can definitely do this. Before, I wasn't sure if I'd bitten off more than I could chew!
Oh, and I've dropped ten pounds, and my calves are huge. :) And, oddly, my upper arms are getting much larger. And I can see actual honest-to-goodness ABS trying to show!
The modern definition of "socialist" is anyone who's winning an argument against a tea-bagger.

I hate Obama's America. You're damn right about that.
Friday, May 28, 2010 - 18:26 To President Obama:
Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar.
Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit.
... go fuck yourself, Mr. President.
