My Endless Blabber....Extended!

Verbal Landscapes. Check it out. When not thinking about sleeping (due to the most UPSIDE down schedule IN THE WORLD), working, and thinking about what I should be doing on my bike, I will be put my 3 lbs. to work.

Whatcha think about the music player? Leave me an idea about it. I thought it was cool. It gives a tiny taste of the kind of music I enjoy. But this is not a democracy on this website. Should I go as far as saying a Monarchy?

Gotta go before I fall asleep and drule on my keyboard. ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

It's a weird time of the year to take time off from work, but it's the easiest. People tighten their financial belt here in EO and would rather spend their money on other things besides food. I hear about it all the time; for example, the latest and largest LED LCD HDTV with a 1,000,000:1 contrast, 2 thousand HDMI's, a couple of VGA's, and a partridge-in-a-pear-tree. I've taken the time this week to learn the lingo for the current tech so that the head-up-in-the-clouds a-holes, that I seem to run on a daily basis, can't try to launch and evade me. Through it all, I did purchase a new flat panel monitor for my computer. So, the education did help me.

I also spent a devoted amount of time wathching 47 episodes of Nana on VEOH. It's a super cool anime--WAIT?! Did you say ANIME? Yah! Anime. I've seen a lot of them through time-from chicks and mechs to super sexy manga heroines. But Nana is no different, in my opinion, to the over-rated "real-life" dramas on TV. However, through the soap opera effect that Japan loves to death, it touched me in an area that I could very closely relate with. That, however, I will not divulge. You'd have to watch it and put that puzzel together yourself.

During this time, I've toyed with the idea of writing. What? Now, if I told you, I'd have to do something shameful to you. I will probably start another blog site to post my writings on. But when that happens, you will know. So keep tuned.

It's Not November Yet

I felt like the balls on a billiard table this past couple of months. In the past, I stated I was going to find myself in other forms of physical activity, but that didn't happen. Have I ever told anyone that I work retail? Not one week's schedule is the same, and my start time can be/is different every day that I work. Days off are not the same either. Needless to say, my schedule got turned upside down--I went to working freight crew for the past six weeks instead of my regular day job.

Well, things are starting to level off for me at work, and I am finding time to now exercise--what? you might say--I still am trying to figure that out.

So, today, B-Fast and I went for a maiden voyage ride for about 2o miles or so. After about 5 or 6 miles, I was actually starting to have a good time, despite the wind. I thought I was going to hack up, not just one, but both of my lungs at the beginning. Sounding like I had asthma, and dealing with the bodily fluids of the head, I kept trudging through like a pilot going through the sound barrier.

I don't know where B-Fast stores his "little racer guy", but it does make me jealous! He rode his armour-plated cross bike and kept me chasing his arse on my sub 19lb. road bike. He told me of lore of how he and the soon-to-be Australian-bound Professor would do crazy high speed/tempo rides. I'm never going to be that good. Age will kick me in the private sector before that will ever happen! I am getting better, but at a tortoise pace.

Anyways. It is not November. I am thinking that this is a good time to start moving forward with my bike again. I still have Power 90 for cross training. Ohhhh, how did I miss my bike and all the physical joy and pain it does endow on one's body!

No Wheels to the Power of 90

It has been a few weeks since I have posted a real blog. My bad. Some bad news is that my goal for the next 90 days is not to ride my bikes!

I had an emotionally devistating TT earlier this month. No details. Just pissed off.

I have taken up a systematic approach to physical conditioning that requires me to focus on it for 90 days--not riding my bike. But don't get me wrong. If any of you who know how to contact me, wants to ride, I'll ride.

The system is known as Power 90--a step behind the legendary P90X. I've already enveloped myself into it for a couple of days now, and have discovered how much of a whimp I really am.

November is my target to start training back on the bike. Cold? Yes! Am I crazy? You will have to ask that to the others I know who will be riding/training during our cold, snowy wintry months. If our winters are consistent with the past couple of years (YAH RIGHT!), road riding for me will go thru the beginning of December. Then it is trainer work for the next 45 to 60 days.
So the 6 months between 2009 and 2010 will be for training.

Lighter. Faster. Stonger.

Hats Off to the Brit On A......

Mountain bike??!

The wrong equipment, even a weird place and time, can add up to a win! Read this article and LOL!
