I would like to beat Zach up for sending me this.

Dream on, right? It's on the "some day" list, and I'm hoping that when I'm 50+ I can roll out on something gorgeous and do it, but for now, it's *sigh* not reality.

ELO will save the human race.

OK, so that's not totally likely, but it sure as hell will make us slightly happier. My love for cheesy music is reaching a fever pitch lately and I just can't get enough Boston, Journey, and, of course, Polyphonic Spree. Cuz if the world can't be all sunshine and rainbows, at least what goes into my ears can be.

Predictably this week brings more time on the Lake Front Path... more babies being ridden around in backpacks without helmets, more walkers in the middle of the path, more good times. Witnessed a rider get hit not 24 hours after Ben was hit in a similar way and got to freeze my butt off waiting for the cops... you know, just the usual. Run - work - ride - drink - sleep. Repeat.

Fun times coming though. Join us at the track on Friday- race or just come be social- and then do this to support the Track Cats on Sunday. It's super odd that I don't have any plans for the weekend - no races, no rides, no officiating- and I'm strongly resisting putting anything down for those days. We'll see how long that lasts.

o hai there.

I didn't realize that people really do read this. It was fun seeing some friends at Wonder Lake on Sunday but it's always totally awkward to hear they know things from reading this here blog- since I know little about them cuz they aren't crazy-regular-updaters like I am! But "o hai" goes out to Gina, Tom (hope that shoulder's ok!) and Damon, who are, of course, super nice folks. I got quite sunburned while they raced yesterday.

What can I say? It's Monday. Today's "day off" workout said max HR of 120, which I could break hailing a cab. I ran 12:30's at 145, once again over-doing the plan, but come now. Molly needed the "run."
