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

Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply."
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
