Yay...I get to start the thread today!


Did my commute (14 miles) in good time. I had a few simple carbs before I left and it made a huge difference in my energy/strength. Unfortunately, I don't know my avg speed because I forgot to hit 'stop' on my computer and it kept going...it thinks it took me an hour and 40 minutes!

Saw something kind of odd on my ride. I saw a woman out for her morning fitness walk (I've seen her out before...usually with a girl friend). She was walking through a really nice neighborhood (lots of big old houses) and yet she was carrying a baseball bat. She certainly looked like she could defend herself (I'd guess she was taller than 5'10" and she wasn't tiny) and yet she felt the need to carry a bat. I really hope this wasn't because something happened to her or her friend recently! Poor thing!

It made me think of Jennifer Ewing...and that I didn't have my pepper spray on me this morning.
