Daaaaaaaang!

What a weekend!  So, Saturday was the Great Western VA Adventure!  After my bike ride, I headed up to RVA to TM’s house.  We hopped in the car, hit Rt. 33 and headed West.  Windows were rolled down, tunes were played, and enjoyment was plentiful.

Virginia is beautiful.  I would have been happy just driving down Rt. 33 all day.   Old ( Read more... )

Okay, so it’s actually the 8th of August.  Close enough!

K, so:

I love Friday nights at the gym.  I had my own lane in the pool, and it was so peaceful.  It was a pretty short workout - 650 m total, with the main set just a 400 m continuous swim.  I felt pretty strong throughout, which is surprising, since I haven’t done much swim training (this is ( Read more... )

Hokay, so:

I was in a foul mood yesterday.  Not really sure why, but I suspect it was a combination of gloomy weather, hormones, and missing my friends.  I tried really hard to get myself out of it: bought flowers on my lunch break, bought some cute shirts, and put on some of my favorite tunes.

I went for a run: 3.5 miler, 35 min.  I didn’t think I ( Read more... )

Went to Ruchee Unique Indian Restaurant last night with TM.  It was great.  We walked in and were the only people in the entire restaurant, and were vaguely directed to one of the booths.  Elevator music of everyone’s favorite top 40’s from the 80’s and 90’s was playing in the background which I secretly (and not so secretly) loved.  There were ( Read more... )

The group ride was great!! I alllllllmost didn’t go because I was being lazy, but at the last minute I jumped up off the couch, attached my bike rack to my car, threw on some clothes and dashed out the door.  I was only 5 min late, but everyone had left already.  Oops.  I did find 3 other stragglers, and we decided to try to find the group.

Somehow ( Read more... )

Wellllll

Yesterday was a bit rough.  Had a late (but very good) night the night before, and around 2pm I crashed.  Came home and napped for about an hour, and then when I finally got to the pool was greeted by a sign saying there was no lap swimming for another hour.   Of course, at this point I had already put on my swim suit, rinsed off, & put ( Read more... )

Well.

Sunday I went to church with Mama, and it was lovely.  Then we had some brekkie at the Broadneck grill and chatted (mostly, I vented, whoops!).  It was good.  I love my Mama and wish I could spend more time with her.

I got on the road later than I had hoped, but spending the extra time with Ma was worth it.  Hit traffic on 95. ELK. Traffic ( Read more... )

In Annapolis!  Came up to get my bike from my parents, so that I can go for the group ride on Tuesday.  I’ve had a great time at home:

My Mama and I decided to fall asleep in front of the TV Friday night.  She deserted me around 4 am, but Tuckie and I stayed in the basement til a ripe old 6 am.  I fed him and Annie and then took them for a walk ( Read more... )

Well, basically, I rule.

After a laaaaate night out on Tuesday (3 am), and an early rise (7:30 am), I wasn’t sure if I’d make it out to do my 3 miles.  But I did!!  I found a nature preserve, and it was pretty dang sweet (and humid, ick).  I saw a beaver, a cardinal, and 3 frogs.  Well done.

Then a new friend came to Chester (I can’t remember the ( Read more... )

Went out last night in Richmond.  Had a flippin blast!

This morning was a little rough, but I’ve been riding off the fumes of last night’s fun =).

I’m supposed to run for 30 min today.  I can’t decide if I should just get it over with and then nap my face off, or if I should nap first.

Decisions, Decisions.  Ima do it though-no slacking off!!
