For no apparent reason in no particular order......
* I have been able to ride the Stationary bike for each of the last 4 days. Nothing special and not fast at all. Longest I have gone is 4 miles. Each time getting started it takes some uncomfortable effort to be able to get a full turn of the pedals - knee is still a little swollen and quite stiff, full flexibility is still a ways off. No running yet and nothing but the bike for a few more days at least.
* There is a new Smurf's movie coming out. I was not a fan of the little blue people first time around 20 or whatever years ago - that has not changed and my family is not going to be lining up to go see the movie.
* My take on the NFL lockout being over.....I'm glad, not for the players, owners or even the fans. I like to watch the games, especially on a Sunday afternoon - and nap. There is nothing like a Sunday afternoon nap and it seems an NFL game puts me to sleep quicker than most other things.
* Some day soon I will finish up the Sheep story post. But every once in a while when meeting and talking with people, conversations often lead to someone asking me if I am from Australia, or South Africa, or England. But I have also been asked if I am from Maine and other New England States - even was once asked if I am from from Texas. For those who care - asking me if I am from Australia instead of New Zealand, I think is comparable to me asking an American if they are from Canada.
* 25 Days till Pikes Peak Ascent. Never will I be so unprepared for a race that I have looked forward to for so long. And yet, I am getting more and more excited to do it. I have no clue what time I will finish it in. But finish it I will.
Well that's all that really matters anyway is that you finish the race. Also I think the way you are letting #12 do what he feels appropriate is right on the money. It sounds like he is running for the right reasons for the love of it and the health benefits.
