Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

Went on a hot and humid NWICY type ride this afternoon but only went 16 miles and it was more eventful than a NWICY ride.

Lowlight: Mile 12, did nice slide into 2nd stop after I had to leave the path and do a half crash in the grass. D-canoe I was passing (after saying I was passing) obviously did not hear me. He was wearing big over the ears headphones. Of course he didn't look either. Never did know he crashed me. *** hole.

Highlight: Mile 15, got flagged down by a cute young gal who had a flat tire. I was wearing an ISU T so I am sure I looked non-threatening. It was a slow leak and she only had a mile or two to go so we just pumped it up and didn't patch it. Man was she cute. And sweet. Kind of hippy cute with hippy gal halter top. Got a high five and a "You rock!" for my assist.
Rode off thinking "Man, I wish I was a 20-something!" :rolleyes:
 
My car just went over 130,000 miles. From here on out everything else is just gravy.

Be careful what you wish for, from the old classic cartoon Chow Hound.

Ms A asked me last night if I had "baby fever". I said yes.

I thought she said "Bieber fever". :(

Just a friendly observation...

You might want to consider whether or not you & Ms A are in the same place in your relationship and if you have the same goals. If you're out of sync, someone is going to get hurt...
 
Might just be me but when on vacation I am not terribly concerned with how many calories I am burning. Then again there is no doubt that CG is healthier than me.


normally I don't much mind but the length of the trip plus the amount of food + eating has me being a bit more conscious of it. Actually just went and worked out for 30 minutes. Felt good.
 
I was mostly listing the calories because I was surprised how much we burned playing volleyball. I knew we were working hard yesterday (played 2 on 2 for a while - lot of court to cover!) but my fitbit registered it as a harder workout (by avg heartrate) than my last gym workout. But it didn't feel like work, it felt like fun! Now if I could burn 600 calories at the gym while it felt like fun!

It's good practice for our volleyball league next month. I told DH I'm getting ready, going to be like Misty May! He seemed dubious.

About the same height.

exactly! What's a foot or two between friends?!?



and no real odd tan lines. Did get lines from the top style I wore the first couple days, so I did a strapless one yesterday and one with a different profile today to even that out...........cloudy and rain, not much sun. So that didn't help much.

I was serious! I had no idea she was 5'9! I guess next to Kerri Walsh she looks like a midget. But Kerri is like 6'3, so that makes sense.
