Today’s Excursion
Sunday, June 24th, 2007This morning, despite feeling very unmotivated, I still managed to get myself out on my bike. My ride was an 18 minute trip around the neighborhood at a top speed of 15.5 mph, an average of 8.8 mph, and a total distance of 2.6 miles. This trip took me up and down a couple hills […]
Mixed Emotions
Saturday, June 23rd, 2007While playing around online last night I found that Google Books has scanned about half my novel, Noble Savage, into their book search function. At first I was a little miffed, but then I realized that they may have done me a favor. If anyone should happen upon my book and start reading, […]
Late-Day Ride
Friday, June 22nd, 2007I woke up at 5:15 this morning and could not get myself to go for a bike ride. After putting a full day at work typing up minutes, I came home and relaxed for about 45 minutes, then went for a ride with hubby. We did a 2.9 mile round-trip ride to a […]
Nothing to Report
Thursday, June 21st, 2007This morning, hubby and I skipped the bike ride in favor of nursing our tired sore muscles. I was glad of the break since I’d been awakened this morning by cramped calf muscles and I didn’t think I could really manage to go riding anyway. This evening, I hope to take a least a short […]
Today
Wednesday, June 20th, 2007We’ve reached the mid-point of the week after two tough days at work and some pretty hot weather. Tomorrow’s the official first day of summer (according to the calendar on my wall), despite the fact that the temperatures have been summer-like for a couple weeks now. What I wouldn’t give for the cooler weather and […]
Good Mileage
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007Every time I think this is going to die down, this article reappears somewhere. I must admit that Redbook has gotten some good mileage out of the piece…and I’m starting to wonder where next this might appear.
Yesterday
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007The day was definitely a Monday. At work, we had four patrons in our research room (three at once) - the most since I started the job ten months ago - and I also had three people call in with questions. My day at work ended with my nice 64-ounce water bottle splitting open to […]
Not So Fun
Monday, June 18th, 2007This morning I woke up early for two reasons: 1) too much caffeine last evening and 2) my entire body hurts from my first few days of bike riding. The first reason is one that I try to avoid for the most part, especially late in the day, but I was cleaning out our old […]
Happy Father’s Day
Sunday, June 17th, 2007Hubby and I went for a bike ride to breakfast this morning, a total of 1.6 miles (half of that uphill) at an average speed of 6.6 mph. During our ride, I was pleased to find that my sense of balance has returned to the point where I can ride with no hands again, […]
A Quick Trip
Saturday, June 16th, 2007Today promises to be a somewhat-busy Saturday…so I went out for a brief bike ride first thing this morning. As mentioned before, we live on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada foothills and many hills can be found in our local neighborhoods. One of them is just a few blocks over and hubby suggested […]
