I bought a bike!

Posted on March 8, 2014 By admin

I realised two things today. I haven’t ridden a bike in at least 10 years, probably more, and I am severely out of shape. I’ve been thinking of getting an e-bike as a way to ease myself in getting some exercise on my way to/from work.  I test drove one today and I’m sold! If all goes according to plan, I should have it in a couple of days :-) it was weird though. I’ve never ridden a bike with a suspension,  so that took a bit of getting used to. The kicker was going up a 30degree incline with more ease than walking it, and that’s a scary steep mofo of a hill!

Good news bad news

Good news: we had our 4-week personal training “evaluation” and we found that we could do more stuff, at higher impact, while feeling a lot better about it (i.e. not feeling like we’re about to puke on the trainer)

Bad news: the evil, evil woman is going to use that against us and pump it up a notch. Bitch.

(As a side note, we really like Liz, she’s a great trainer. We just like to complain about her).

Yaaaaaay, gadgets!

Xmas came early for me. Katy bought me a me tablet and I got it early so that I can bring it to Canada and use it to keep Bean entertained.

In other news, we had a visit from our new personal trainer tonight. I think it’s going to be a sound investment of time and money,  even if she did mention several times that it’s ok if we swear at her. That doesn’t bode well :)

Quote of the day

The one positive thing you could say about the bread products around him was that they were probably as edible now as they were on the day they were baked. *Forged* was a better term. Dwarf bread was made as a meal of last resort and also as a weapon and a currency. Dwarfs were not, as far as Vimes knew, religious in any way, but the way they thought about bread came close.
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
