Axodys 10C Edition

I rode my bike to work again for the first time this week. On the way home I was pretty pleased with the ease I was able to blow by another biker going up Howard. He actually caught up to me while I was waiting at the light on 2nd and I didn't try to beat him from that point, but I totally dusted him on the way up.

I think my legs are definitely starting to get in better biking shape. I may have to start running here again soon too. I definitely want to start getting in better shape.

I'm doing pretty well on my Taco Bell Star Wars contests. I'm only one piece away from winning $10,000. Of course I'm sure the piece I don't have is the hard one to get.

At lunchtime I got my first summer length haircut of the year. It's going to be really nice not having to mess with it after I wear my bike helmet. The weather tomorrow is actually supposed to be pretty good so riding to work shouldn't be a problem.

I've been thinking about looking at bike computers for a while, but I haven't done anything with that yet. I'm also thinking I should look into bike touring bags. My old backpack is working fine for now, but I think it'd be worthwhile to have some other options.

I played some StarCraft for the first time in a couple weeks and I actually made some serious progress on the level I was stuck on. That definitely left me with a good feeling because I had felt somewhat frustrated up to this point.

I started off the day by watching some track out at Mount Spokane High School. Kristen ran the 800 and then a leg of the 4×400. Amazingly enough her team won the relay! Unfortunately my mom and I missed it because we were getting cold and wanted to get some shopping in.

This evening Mary and I went and watched the Lilac Parade downtown. That was pretty fun and it was cool that the weather stayed bearable.

Nichole has her big race today. It should be interesting to see how she ends up doing.

Even though the weather didn't really warrant it I decided to wear shorts today. Actually it wasn't that cold this morning, but it was somewhat cloudy.

Nothing too exciting happened today.

I didn't ride to work today or when I got home. I was actually feeling sleepy so I took a short nap instead.

I'm definitely looking forward to this weekend.

I didn't ride to work today, but I did get in a pretty good ride after I got home. It made me realize that there's a definite downside to living towards the bottom of the South Hill when you decide to ride up it and you're out of shape.

Even though the weather has been weird and crappy in May so far I really think this is going to be a good summer overall. Chances are it will go by really quickly as well.

I should really get around to doing some of the site improvements I've been mulling over forever. Or I could just go to sleep now. I am kind of tired.

Today has turned out to be a really nice day.

Unfortunately for me I had an incident with a seven layer burrito while driving. There's nothing quite so fun as having warm gooey guacamole, sour cream, and beans dripping onto your lap. I actually thought it was pretty amusing at the time.

I rode my bike to work for the first time today. This morning I tried to dress appropriately for the conditions since it was somewhat cold, but I still managed to break a sweat by the time I got there. Unfortunately my ears took about twenty minutes to warm up.

The ride home from work was much nicer temperature wise and I tried to take it a little bit easier. By the time I navigated through downtown and up the short hill to my apartment I had started sweating once again.

I think my commute is going to work out pretty well this summer. Now it's time to start looking at car repairs.

And I thought the weather was weird yesterday! It snowed out at my parents house for quite a while.

I got to play with little Joe today which was definitely fun. He's getting fairly accomplished at kicking and throwing balls for a two year old.

I also saw The Mummy and thought it was good for the most part.

I got the chance to look at some old photographs of myself at my grandparents when we went to wish my grandmother a happy Mother's day. My middle school picture was definitely the worst.
