Spring Bike Camp
Steve’s getting old! In honor, a road trip is called for. (I don’t have the time off officially approved, but on the tiny chance they give me shit I’ll just threaten to quit. The joys of being indispensible.) I believe Steve’s arriving in St. George on April 23rd (Administrative Professional’s Day). I intend to show…

Big Feet
This is our shoe rack. Only two pairs of shoes pictured are not mine. From top left across and from the left again: my nice shoes, my new Montrail Hardrocks, old Montrail Continental Divides (work shoes), good cycling shoes, old cycling shoes, canyoneering shoes, M’s old sneaks, crappy Continental Divides (see below), Goretex trail runners,…

Deprivation
Colonoscopy tomorrow. For those who don’t know, this will involve a lucky individual (emhmmm..) putting a very small camera up into my colon and making sure nothing funny is going on. My task yesterday, today, and tomorrow is to ensure an unobstructed view, ergo the following: Food Eaten Today (1/30) Breakfast~20 oz coffee~1.5 cups lime…

The future, again
Gotta get reading! Gotta get working! Gotta get running!! Grand Canyon this weekend! (jinx?!) M’s beating me in the post count for this month, but I’m confident my 400+ post lead, built up with over a year of strife and dedication, will see me through to the finish line. Life’s back to busy; workworkworkwork. Car…

That, general mailasie and the weather combined to make going running as per the plan. Got me thinking about dropping running from…

APC
In the bag. An excellent adventure in every respect. Below one can see the upper end of the loop, with the out and back summit trip. I got 6500′ of climbing from the coffee shop to the parking lot. Us singlespeeders with less than 2:1 gearing got dropped on the pavement right away, so I…

Monstercross for Marshal
First (and relevantly), check out mc’s excellent anachronism of the day: The manner of taking hills was extremely interesting. Nearly all stood on the pedals and swayed the body first to the right and then to the left.I had a splendid view, as our car was the first behind the “peloton,” or main body, and…

Back
As in the truck, is back! The temp gauge even works again!! I went to yoga for the first time in two weeks, and lordy did I need it. Laying on my sticky new hot pink Wal-mart mat I fell deep into the yoga zone; glued to the floor with the earth curving around my…

Pilot Error
One of the charming/annoying things about being carless and unmotivated to commute is bumming rides off my beloved coworkers. And I say that with utmost sincerity, if it weren’t for them insulating me from the massive and dull teeth of upper management and it’s fixedent-flavored incompetence I’d have split long ago. I’ve had the opportunity…
