Happy Mirhers Day to those who ...See MoreI went on another spur of the moment bike ride with a club member. We did 14 miles on a very sunny warm afternoon. My body isn't used to riding two days in a row. I took a short nap when I got back. I am a bit stiff and got too much sun despite slathering on the sun screen. I plan on taking it easy tomorrow!
Happy Mirhers Day to those who are moms and grandmas!
Judy, Double walk! Do you miss your reservoir? Are you close enough to take occasional road trips back there and to walk with your friend? I remember remodeling a bit like pregnancy--will it ever end?
Lovely Mother's Day here. Literally. I opted to plant flowers over a bike ride on the theory that then they'd be done ahead of a predicted rainy week. I hope the roots don't rot. Thunder and heavy rain at the moment.
I've been a laggard on walking due to 3 trips in 3 days to the grands--emergency babysitting, then planned babysitting, then piano recital. All good, but a limit on walking time. Yesterday I squeaked by with 10,258, the day before 9,329, and less than 10,000 total Thu. and Fri. Not sure what today will bring.
I am really supporting him on distance running as he shows a lot of promise for cross country. He has the right body type, he loves to run and he's competitive. Fortunately this jr/sr high school's cross country is a very successful sport in the state and many kids get scholarships to Div I schools. That is his best chance at going to college financially. The youngest one is very well balanced in her activities and is strong in academics. I like to think I will still be around to see them going to post high school but like everything else, one never knows.
Anyway, although I took it easy, the whole day is over already. The rest of the week looks to be similar as the schools try to pack in a lot at the end of the year.
I hope to go on a special bike ride the community is organizing this week to commemorate the college student who was killed this month on his bike. I think I can fit it in.
Bob R/CAI don;t see a user with that name, I think it's possible you may have registered a long time ago, and we had to cycle the database once upon a time. You should just try to re-register with that screenname. If you have trouble, let me know and I can see if I can get you straightened out....
Teacher's aide in NY suspended without pay for yawning, unjust evals and terminations, teacher strikes in WV, Ky, Ok, etc. Is it time for a teachers "Me too" movement?
I had an account years ago but looks like it's no longer active. When I try to create a new account, however, the system doesn't like my email address nor my username. Can an administrator please advise? Thanks
Today was my first official of summer break! We spent the past two days taking down and cleaning the classroom for summer. That was hard work. Today was the new rider call out for our cycling club. Once the dark clouds and brief rain passed, the conditions improved considerably for the ride. This was the first group ride that I have gone on with my new bike. What a difference a year experience and a faster bike can make. Last year when I went on my first group ride at the call out, I struggled trying to do seven miles. It was very hot then, my old bike was decades old and I didn't know how to shift gears very well. Today I breezed through 17 miles with barely a sweat.
I had my first experience with an angry, barking and bike chasing dog! He was furious we were on his county road and boy, did we have to ride fast to get away.i guess there must not be any restrictions on loose dogs out in the country.
So my summer plans for biking are to lead a novice/senior group on Monday mornings, go on a faster,longer club ride on Thursday evenings(with a Supper get together after at the new pub) and help with the training group I was on last year on Saturday. Hopefully I can fit a spinning class and another club ride in between. The summer's going to go quickly but at least I'll have something to show for it.
