WooHoo Tehas

So the drive down was not too bad. I broke it up into two days, stayed at Econolodge in Dalhart, Texas. It was exactly what I needed. On the drive I saw a train off the tracks. It was not a big deal, but it looked kind of crazy. I have been riding a lot. Today I am going to spin it out. I met a girl Sara that my Uncle introduced me to. She does tris, so maybe we will ride sometime. She already stood me up on Friday for a ride, so I will not expect anything. It has been so nice outside. I am doing pull ups, just randomely when i head outside.

   The animals here are fine. Two house dogs, Toby and Cheney. Toby is a terrier, and he is not bad, but he can get really moody. Cheney is just really shy, and has taken some time to warm up. She does really well with the animals. So for riding, I have crammed in like a 50 yesterday, and a 30 the day before, and today my goal is 2 hours, I might just take my mountain bike out, and see how that goes.

I went out last night to the local bar, it is called the London Hall. It has been ther for over 100 years, and today apparently is the day to go. I should have gone thursday, they have a BYOS night, bring your own steak, haha. I thought that was a good idea, I will go there probably next thursday.  It was me, three guys playing pool, and some girl bar tender, that is it. I just sat there and talked a little about nothing. I suck at pool, so I only play with friends that I feel very comfortable with. I kind of just wanted to go out dancing, but that can wait until I get home, I have a partner, and plenty of places to go.

So though he was a hypocrit Marcus had some good motivation.

Make the world smller

So you can you can expand yours. This is what I am going to keep in mind. See what behind new corners. Yesterday, was bad, real bad, as if I was not myself. I missed a spin class I teach. That is ok though, I mean in the big schemes of things, it is minimal damage. This does not represent who I am though. I have a buisy week ahead, and I must prepare as much as I can tomorrow. I have some new toys as of latly, includiing to new bikes added to the herd. One Mountain bike, it is a barracuda Team Dos equis-

Literally the same bike. It is amazing, and if I am doing any mountain bike racing I have not excuse.
Talking about no excuses, the GT has now been asigned to be the commuter, and to take his place, well a nice R5000 from Cannondale. All dura-ace, sub 19 lb total frame. No excuses at this point, I have gone over to making all the bikes egg beaters now, since that seams to be much better than the looks I have had. So with all this, what is there to complain about.

I applied for some new jobs, hopefully something steady will come up. I am in the process of looking up more certifications I could recieve. It will only help. I find myself doing some survey exam sample questions from time to time to keep my mind alittle tight, but tutoring might also help. So things happening, tomorrow work, then coaching(coaching is not work, it is something I really enjoy doing. Then firday- Volunteering then dinner at Ras Kazaas Abbys favorite place, it is Etheopian. No wonder they have no food, they brought it all here, and make us eat really nice portions. Then I am going to the high school basket ball game, first of the season. I jsut watched the middle schoolers play, and wow, that was a blast, it should have been not so fun because I did not even realize I had missed my class I teach. Saturday, ok here is saturday,
730-830 am work the Boldrunning table for the colder boulder
830-930 get in car drive to chilly cheeks duathlon, run ride it,
then 1200- on driving to texas,"yay"
