more basketball.... n'stuff.
if you ever wonder what i do while at work (besides... work. obviously) let me clue you in.
and if you love college basketball (or.. just basketball in general) and don't know who bill simmons is... get yourself to readin', cuz its some good stuff.
now, i don't always agree (because obviously durant is my team's arch nemesis and must be squashed like a bug) but damn if the man don't make me laugh!
in other news.. i've got an afternoon bike ride lined up and... i'm not gunna lie... i'm gettin' kinda nervous. its been a few months since i was out on the roads and although i've been spinning all winter.. mostly.. its just not the same.
this is the real thing.
actual hills. actual wind.
cars to not run into, curbs to not run off of.
its the real. thing.
when i get tired i can't just stop.
when i stop, i can't just leave my feet in the clips.
when i clip in and out, i have to actually balance my bike.
i'm not sure, but i think there's a good chance i might forget one or more of those things. which could very possibly lead to a somewhat unfortunate experience.
so we'll see. but i have a funny feeling there's something about biking i might be forgetting.. and that doesn't bode so well for me!

I just took my bike out after the long winter and yeah - spinning isn't quite the same! And I was finally forced to learn how to change a flat tire! Good luck and enjoy the glorious weather!

rubber side down.

Just remember to clip out with both feet - always! That's what has saved my bacon.
Enjoy the ride and remember - as long as you keep pedaling you won't fall over.

You like the Sports Guy, too? Really?
Hmmm...
I'm really starting to think that maybe we should get married.

Hope your ride went well! I look forward to not tremling everytime I get on the bike. It will happen. Sometime this decade!
I'm sure you did great.

ps - I've found Bold's advice to be very helpful. Rubber side up usually hurts.

I have no idea what clips and balancing is all about...just...good luck!

too lazy to click on link...but my spinning instructor makes clipping in and out look so darn easy! i'm guessing that it's not. still, wind in your hair and all...FUN!

Because my craptastic UConn Huskies were SOO underwhelming this year, I am rooting for the Jayhawks to go all the way.
But let's talk about the real issue---
How is your half marathon trianing going? I have decided to do San Diego full before I head out to parts unknown.
