Finally...

Good evening,


I'm fully aware that it has been some time since I have last updated this blog, I also know that exactly none of you have been waiting for this post with bated breath.

It's nice to see you again.

These last couple of weeks have been filled with me packing up my entire life and moving back to the South Shore from Western Mass. Which invariably leads to many many many dull trips on the pike with a truck full of stuff. However, as of about 3 PM today, I am finished and settled back in the house where I grew up.

Huzzah!

With all the packing, cleaning, worrying, and forgetting about things that I have been doing recently, biking has not been a top priority. Also, the weather has been dead set against me taking the beautiful Margaret out. At least I'm over my whole 'dying' phase. I feel pretty good, and now that I am temporarily and happily unemployed, much riding and exercising is foreseen in my immediate future.

In any case, it's good to be home. I promise promise promise to keep up with posts, starting in a week.

Ok?

Cool.


Summer is here, my friends, and it is going to be an excellent one.





And because I'm back near Boston:



Until next time,

Sick... And busy...

Not really anything to report on this week, as I was too sick to function as a relatively normal human being. Wednesday post was missed and I feel bad about that.

I really do.

However, this upcoming week is my final week of work before, what I have just termed it, 'The Last Summer'. I figure, since I won't be working for two months, I will mostly just bicycle around town and get fit and actually make some progress towards this whole century thing. So you all have that to look forward to.

I'm cutting out Wednesday posts for this week and next but I assure you, come June, you will be able to read a quality blog post twice a week from me. For serious.

That's pretty  much all I have to say. Here is a gem that I feel is summing up my life quite nicely right now. Also, the guy on the left at 4:17 MAKES MY LIFE.



Goodnight everyone.

SICK...

Very. So much so, that I cannot form very many coherent thoughts, much less string them together in an honest, thoughtful, and entertaining way. Therefore, no post shall happen tonight.

My apologies, really.


M.

Greetings!

It's been a while, no? Well, I apologize for that. This past week has been a blur of very little sleep, good friends (both old and new), aaaaannnnd not a lot of bike riding.

....

I've been finding it difficult to focus on this goal recently; there is just too much else going on. However, I vow to correct it. THE PLAN:

• SLEEP
• Super-duper important, but I have been absolutely terrible at it recently. We're talking 4 or 5 hours a night, average. 
• DIET
• I have been doing a little better on this one, but I'm going to sit down and figure out exactly what I need to eat on a daily basis. And the fact that I have to do that makes me feel unbelievably stupid. Also, I don't drink anywhere near enough water. Way to go me for being lousy at being alive....
• RIDING
• Now that it is getting nicer out, I'm going to do this whenever I can. Also, I just found out that my truck is basically dead, so no vehicle for me this summer! 

So my objective for the next week and a half is to get all that stuff down. Also, I've been playing basketball with my labmates every week, and I have never been so freaking sore in my entire life.


So that's about it for right now.

See you all Sunday!

Long weekends...

cause me to forget to make a blog post in advance, and now I'm too tired. Here, have this for now:


I'll make this up to you on Wednesday, I promise.

Goodnight all,

M.
