Well, not a big one, but at least I'm back on a bike. Dusted off my old bike and rode to work (3 mi uphill here, downhill home). Noticed I've quickly become addicted to clipless pedals. Don't have'em on this bike (yet) and when I downshifted to spin my way up the first hill my feet went flying off the pedals. Darn! There went all my momentum. Oh well. I made it up anyway, then cross-trained the next one, powered up the third, and walked the last again. Goal for today is to get the rest of my lectures prepared for the coming week. Goal for tomorrow is to finish an article. Maybe, just maybe, I'll also be able to put in a round around Litj-Jonsvannet lake and Estenstadmarka forest on my way home, although it's clouding over now and looks like rain soon.

Could also mention that when I was in Lausanne last week there was a big triathlon competition. I didn't get to see it due to conference duties, but wound up on the same train as the Japanese team on my way home. Sat across from a kid who'd got a bronze medal, and heard that their team had won the gold.
