Another Day Another Ride
Managed to get on the bike again this morning. Due to better routing and better legs I got here like 20% faster than yesterday (8 minutes). That lessens my morning stress considerably as then I have plenty of time to use the building facilities and arrive at my desk without looking mussed. AND WE ALL KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS!Ride home last night was a bit strenuous but not too difficult. I feared it would take me 50 minutes but it took just 45, but I'm hoping it will normally be 40 or less. Today it is going to be in the high 80s so the heat will bring its own difficulty aside from the hilly ride.
I weighed in this morning and I've never been this heavy before....eyah. Well when I ride regularly I usually drop a few pounds a week until I get to some sort of equilibrium. Lets just say it will take 2-3 months before I see that. I just hope to be able to wear a bathing suit in early August without looking like a beached....you know.
J man's first day at preschool went well. Evidently a kid pushed him and a kid pushed and hit him, or both kids pushed and hit, not exactly sure. But he didn't seem very upset by it and just told his teacher. He's new so from my view it is natural that other kids will try to establish dominance over him. He's really tall but very thin but wiry so we'll see how it goes. I'd kind of like to get him to take Judo or something because he's the kind of kid that if trained to use other (bigger) people's weight against them, he would just never get picked on ever. He's really strong and tall, just not big. My prediction is he'll get big when he's older, but we'll see. Probably spending more time on the bullying thing than I need to, sorry. He told his teachers and the kids stopped, so no biggie. He really likes the place and he'll make new friends fast.
