I'm at work today, and since we had yesterday off, hardly anyone is here - made for a GREAT parking spot... I haven't ridden my bike all week... but, tomorrow and Sunday I'll be riding 200 miles... still makes for a HUGE week for me. After work, I have to go pick up my packet at McGhies, and get new tubes... I changed my tires on my bike last night, and got a pinch flat in one tube, and the other tube I left in my old tire... so I want to get at least 4 new tubes... I was told that this ride is brutal on tires...

I'm reading the conversation on the Penguins thread about people going stir-crazy when they can't run... I'm still a couch potato at heart, because I don't get that reaction... will that ever change for me? I mean, I sat on the couch all week, and I'm not going stir-crazy...

As I'm looking at the HUGE hills I'm attempting to climb in the next 2 days, I'm reminded that I CAN ride my bike, when I think about the people who sit in wheelchairs because they have MS, suddenly the hills don't seem too High... I'm fortunate not to have MS or any other crippling disease... OK, I lied... that one hill freaks me out... I will consider this ride a success if I can make it up THAT hill!!!

To be honest, I can easily go a week without running without going crazy myself too.

True, Vince. You know it begins to worry me when I don't run. I've no time to study and ask my writer to complete the assignments for me. I feel a bit awkward to ask him, but still I have to run and develop my career.
