So yeah, I'm just sitting around doing nothing. Today is technically a "rest day" for my training but I still ended up at the gym for about an hour. I just can't not work out all the time. Yesterday was good, the practice race went well.. the new bike performed exceptionally badass so that made me happy. I stopped to help a girl after she had a technical difficulty, so my time wasn't super good, but I felt fast. So CATS should be cake.
Finished "Icuras Hunt" by Timothy Zahn last night. Pretty good book. I suddenly had a bunch of free time, so I needed books. Luckily I remembered a post on Penny Arcade a while back.. and that is where I got the idea for the Zahn book. I also picked up Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury, and even for the heck of it I got Gravity's Rainbow by Pynchon. So yeah, I'm looking forward to the Bradbury, but I have a feeling that G's R is going to be something a little wierder than what I was looking for. I want to get the Stephenson novels, but they are still in hardcover, so I'm waiting for them to, you know, get cheaper. There is of course the hope that they will be put on some discount book shelf by mistake and I'll be able to pick them up for under 10.. yeah I know, hope springs eternal.
So no Texas, and just more busy work anticipated at work for this week. I mean, it is a paycheck, but I want something interesting. Maybe heading back to NV and working at SBI wouldn't have been that bad of an idea. Oh well.. life goes on.
Well going to bail now.. not sure what else I'm going to do tonight.. read maybe, finish laundry, get to sleep early. Going to go running with Erik and Richard in the morning. 4 mile tempo run.. oh man.. it is going to be rough. Gotta get my times down.. whatever happened to 6 minute miles.. or was I ever there? Well.. maybe next season I'll be able to run better.. winter training here I come.
