All the things you can do

Well, I am about 10 days removed from any running or any serious form of exercise. I am starting to feel a little bit better and thinking about running again. This probably means I am coming around and getting to be recovered. I don't know what the next thing I try to do with my running is going to be but it will be something. The "I suck, I quit" text message I sent after I finished VCM wasn't quite true. I am not quiting ... quite yet.

So, what do I do when I am not training to pass the time. Well, on sunday I went tearing around on my new to me but old to everyone else road bike I built up in my garage with spare parts from a road bike, spare parts from my brother, spare parts from a friend at work, and spare parts from a friend of my brother. Thanks to all the parts wealthy people who donated to the cause of getting me out of my running shoes into funny looking shorts, stiff shoes, and a plastic piece of head armor. Here is a picture of my new baby.

She is old but she has a young soul.
I took her out for her maiden group ride with Mario, Dan, and Christy Mae for a nice summer cruise. I hope to go for another one this weekend if we can get a crew.

The other hobby I took to quite well was concrete breaking and porch building. I always wanted a farmers porch, so I am building one. First I had to break up the old concrete portico we had on half the front of the house. It was a pain in the butt. Almost 8 cubic yards of poured concrete and cement block. I have done things that are more fun.

That's all I got.
