well, that was an interesting and perhaps inauspicious way to start the second half of 2006. not the least of which is that it was only when i woke up this morning that i realized it was still wednesday, not thursday.

that sad fact is brightened by the fact that i get some free dinner and firefly watching with maggie after work today. i am also excited for the prospect of a golden gardens bonfire yet later tonight, even if it will likely be full of hippies and their ilk celebrating the solstice. their patchouli oil and drum circles won’t be able to keep me from delicious s’mores goodness.

my knee is looking tons better as well, and somewhat against doctor’s orders i’ve started riding the police bike again. 12.5 miles on both legs yesterday! it was amazing how weak my left leg is but true to the cliche it was just like riding a bike and i was making good time up hills and trackstanding at intersections. add to that the 4.5 miles from sunday and my normal commute on monday. this week is already looking tons better. i am going to be keeping my cycling to a minimum, i’m still not quite ready to be in full swing with point83 or the fixie as of quite yet that will wait until it’s completely scarred over.

weekly total: 21.3 miles
cumulative total: 168 miles
