Quicky...
Just figured out that I left the lights on in the Jeeper today and the battery is deader than something really dead. I am gonna not sweat it for right now and go for a lunch ride instead. Worst case scenario I will have to call AAA for the umpteenth (see also: a big number) time this week. If they raise rates, sorry, it is all my fault.
Anyway, yeah, riding outside. Riding inside is better for me than not riding, but outside is the way to go. The Bart commented on this and he is dead on. Not riding just makes me unstable.
On that note, I was thinking about quitting again. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around all that needs to be done in the course of a day (yeah, this is a time waster, but I have to be at work and nothing is going on and there's the 4 minute rule) and training is getting squeezed to the very back. I don't blog much on this stuff, but mostly I think everyone knows, I've had a pretty hard time with cutting back on the biking to make room for all the changes in my life these last few years. I just really don't like sucking at biking. Keep in mind, sucking is relative. I think it's natural to want to be as good as you can. And I'm just not. So, am I going to quit? No, I can't do it. As referenced above, I need the outlet. Plus, I'd have (almost) no friends. That's kind of sad. Anyway, if I'm not gonna race, there's no point in riding and when I don't ride I go nuts, so yeah, blog over.
Sandy pointed out that I wasn't playing too nice and I don't apologize because you (and numbnuts Sleevie) are my crew and you know what's up.
