happy birthday dad...

just wanted to wish my dad a happy 64 birthday. you need to ride that bike i got you.

well back to me. i've been kinda preoccupied with the tour de france and haven't really updated the ole blog. main reason is that i would give away all the stage winners. so how about that TDF lance gets third but you know he was pissed he didn't get first no matter what he says.

my training... i have been picking my spots. i rode the road bike for the first time in months yesterday inspired by the TDF. but i will be going back to the mountain bike though. i finally changed out the seat on the mtn. bike figuring that it was the seat that has been tearing up my nether-regions (tmi, i know). clarence at the duck suggested that i just pull out the whole seat post and swap it that way. so i am probably the only dude on a Moots YBB with an Arione Tri seat with dual bottle holders on the seat post. SEXY...

but let me tell you the padded nose coupled with the microsensor shorts is a "life changer" for sure. hopefully it clears up this evening for a good ride.

big toe soe...

i have a severly ingrown toenail that's making it hard to ride and do the elliptical. the saddle sores aren't really healing so i'm thinking about taking a break. i will keep going until i can't. i'm thinking that now may be the time to put some weights in just to keep off of my feet.

might have to go to the doc about the toe but i don't know how they are going fix it. other than anti-bi's i don't what they'll do. do they do surgery for that sort of thing? geez. anyways, it's been a month and a week and i'm still kickin'

don't no body take-a my pride...

can't no body hold me down. uh oh, i got to keep on movin'

so far, so good. so after weeks of going to the gym everyday i got WAY bored and to that, that the tour is on, i decided to venture outside. I've been taking out the mountain bike because of its suspension and ability to gear way down for the hills. my butt is was in indescribable pain. i have noticed if i take some Aleve before work it does a good job of taking the sting off.

friday i felt so good that i rode before and after work. so today i decided to only ride once...but in the heat of the day. it was only 95 as a high today and felt WAY better than a hunn'ed. at some point i know i will start to weight train but for now its only cardio. i plan on taking sunday off of the bike to let the nether-regions heal. that means gym for 30 mins. that will probably be difficult just because it's so boring.

everyday, i see a little more of "dominator" coming back but it's LONG way away at this point.

day 29 and counting...

so i broke with routine but i got back into it. i am getting quite sick of the elliptical at this point so i decided to ride my bike yesterday. i can't tell you how painful that was. my hands and feet and...seat were throbing in pain after about 5 miles and at 10 miles i thought i was going get off my bike and start crying. but i finished the whole 12 miles. those that don't know or forgot 12 miles is from my front door to the 7 mile marker at River Legacy and back.

lets say that i had no plans to ride today at all and the elliptical was definitely in order. i got it done but i hope i can walk tomorrow. after the ride yesterday my knees and hips felt almost arthritic. yet another reason i didn't ride today was saddle sores. in a few days i hope to hit the bike again or at least the trainer after work. stay tuned.

breaking routine...

i went yesterday in spite of of my stomach problems but when i came home i went straight to bed and had to call in. i think i could have made it to work if i hadn't gone. but i was so dog sick that i didn't. this morning i'm just going to go to work and tell myself i'll make it afterwards. i can't risk losing any days of work. stay tuned.

finally got my polar back...

so, like three weeks ago when i started this streak my polar got a crack in it and started to fill with condensation. the next day i took my old one in to get the battery changed. well, that one ended up water damaged so they had to send it in. after they said it would take a week three weeks later viola!!! a brand new polar s625x mmmm, mmm.

they didn't even charge tax. so i recommend if you need your battery changed or a 30% discount on new one that is unrepairable, take it to the dallas repair center. it's in downtown and there is a parking lot next to the building.

My weight: well yesterday after i weight myself i was pissed to see it at almost the highest it's been. so i just said 4k'it for today and eat whatever and i went to whataburger for breakfast, i had my cousin babe (chicken dinner house) fix me some fried chicken for lunch and i had my papa john fix me a pizza for dinner. with 2 venti starbucks mixed in for added bonus. so i weighed myself same time i do as always and it was down 2 lbs. that being said i officially don't really care what the scale says... for now anyways.

day 19 and counting and i'm not dead or dibilitated so i'll just keep going. i might even do a two-a-day or 2 over the holiday. gotta work on the diet but i know that will come.
