Cheated! I feel cheated. The forecast showed a high chance of showers and T-storms; and indeed, I heard thunder three times between waking and getting out of bed. I figured that heavy rain could begin at any moment; and if lightning was hanging around, I didn’t want to be riding on top of the levee. […]
Outdoor Elliptical? The StreetStrider amounts to an outdoor elliptical machine! Sometimes I see someone using one of these; and it looks like a vigorous workout. I do wonder whether it’s normal to swing widely back and forth while using this outdoor elliptical machine. I’m not at all sure I have the upper body/core strength to

I Feel Like Corn It’s too hot today to turn on the oven for roastin’ ears. Today it’s so hot that I feel like corn — like roastin’ ears, that is. It’s 98 degrees out there; and the heat index is 105! I would have had a hot ride home; but today I didn’t ride

It’s Official! It’s official! Summer has begun; at least, according to the calendar. But things don’t always go according to our way of thinking of time. It feels like the dog days already; and has for a couple of weeks. Last week I was on vacation; and didn’t get in the extra mileage that I
Like an Arrow I wish I could ride this fast! Time flies like an arrow, so they say. Last week certainly flew past; and I feel like I got nothing done. I was badly distracted by the prospect of having to move; and soon. Long story short, that’s on hold for at least a few
