Friends,

15 miles today.

I’m getting very tired, doing 15 miles per day. I hear it only gets easier from here though.

Left to bike at halftime for the pistons game. Pistons kicked cleveland’s ass. Did 10 miles in i don’t know how many minutes. Probably about 45 minutes.

got home, watched rest of game. we won, yay basketall.

ate some pizza for dinner.

went back out on bike for 5 more miles. Was very tired at the end of that trip.

Watched tv, did internet.

Ordered a 2gb ipod nano from zipzoomfly.com for the georgia trip. Should be nice.

I have a hunger.

yeah, that’s all. Laterios people.

So yeah, I did my 15 miles today.

From home back through park, from park past old high school, from old high school to oxford lakes, from oxford lakes to glaspie, from glaspie to town, from town to pontiac street, from pontiac street to library, from library to powell lake, from powell lake to pollyann trail, from pollyann trail out to some magic road on the outskirts of orion, from magic road to some other road, from that road to pinetree road, there i met nana, and we had a chat for about a half hour.

From nana’s house to some road, to some road, to some road back to pollyann trial, to powell lake, to library, to pontiac street, back down lakeville road home.

16.1 miles for this trip. Add that up with the rest: 101.1 miles for the week. Woohoo for completing goals.

On the first leg of the trip, i was goign up this hill by powell lake and this jogger guy was standing up there. I heard him say something as he said something, but i couldn’t make it out. As I road down the hill, i saw some fire. I yelled “what the fuck?”, and then biked quickly out of there. I saw some guy with his daughter standing at the top of the other hill i was at smiling like they had set the fire.

Six Tacos for dinner, yum.

fucking tired okay.

Yeah, Today wasn’t too hot. Got woken up my my neighbor hammering something. Got on the internet and did my usual rounds checking email, helpdesk, irc, forums, then i had a chat with a few people.

Two hours passed, I decided it would be a good idea to get out on the bike. So, I got on the bike, and high tailed it towards orion. Winds were gusty. I managed to make it out to orion though.

In orion i stopped at my uncle/cousin’s house. There I had one beer, and a chat with some family. We talked about biking, the wedding I’m going to have to go to later this month, and current events. That stop lasted about a half hour, and a good time was had by all.

Then I left, and headed back towards oxford. Winds from the north made the trip difficult, but I managed to get all 15 of my miles.

Odometer now reads 401.3, Hoorah. One more day of 15 miles until I’ve completed my 100 mile week goal. I’m considering getting lost out on the pollyann trail tomorrow, but I’m not sure. I’m not too wild about the trails these days.

I’ve been thinking about getting on a road, or possibly cross bike. It would cost a lot of money, but I would be able to travel much faster on a road bike. Probably much further too. My friend scott has a specialized road bike, and has done 50 miles on a single trip.

I’ve been getting good speed on my mountain bike. Average has jumped from 10mph to 16mph. I usually get 16mph riding with wind, and in a no-wind enviroment.

I’ve been meaning to get out on the pollyann trail. I miss the section between hosner, and lake george road. Maybe I’ll do a round in that area next week, or on today’s trip.

Well, that’s all I have. Laterios.

Yeah, it’s been a good day.

Got up, did internet, had tunafish sandwich, drank pop.

5:30, Went out on bike. Made decision to do 18 miles to make up for the mileage loss of the week. According to my figures, doing 15 miles 6 days, and 10 for one day will make things better. So, I couldn’t ride tuesday, that will be my 10 mile day. So, I just made up those missing 10 miles during these past two days.

Sunday - 15 miles
Monday - 15 Miles
Tuesday - 0 miles
Wednesday - 22 miles
Thursday - 18 miles
Total Right Now - 70 miles
Future readings…
Friday - 15 miles
Saturday - 15 miles

That will give me a total of 100 miles by saturday night. I’m going to continue doing 15 miles per day into next week.

Today’s trip was pretty fun. I took a trip out to orion. In orion, I got bunch of waves, and smiles from a bunch of random people. The weather was all great, traffic wasn’t too paniced. I saw a homeless person who looked a lot like wookstock up by a car dealership. We gave eachother a nod of the head, and passed by.

I rode out near nana’s house, but didn’t feel like riding deep into orion to her house. So, I just turned around, and continued back into oxford. In oxford, I looked at my odometer to find that i only had about 8 miles. So, i decided to continue all the way through oxford, doing my usual 10 mile route, with the first oxford lakes bit cut out.

First trip through oxford was both aggervating, and depressing. Wind from the west and north, coupled with all of these overweight, angry, reckless drivers made the trip a bit of a downer, but I managed to bike the whole thing without being killed, or crying.

Back through oxford, I got 30mph going down the big big hill. On the way back through town i stopped by zak’s to check out their laptop offerings. They now sell asus laptops, and it’s a pretty good deal. I may buy a laptop from them when I have the cash ready.

Went back through oxford, the bike path was blocked off by a group of 12 speed walking women. I tried asking for them to make a path for me, but they weren’t listening. I ended up just raging off the path onto the road to pass them. They yelled sorry, i continued on.

Back through oxford lakes, that was OK. No terrible wind.

Got back home. Happy I managed to make it for the full 18 miles in a single trip. My previous 15 mile trips were broke up into 1 10 mile trip, and 1 5 mile trip.

I hear the weather will be worse in the coming days. I shouldn’t have trouble doing 15 miles for 2 days in a row though, unless there’s another full day of rain. Then, I don’t know. I’d have to have to do a 30 mile day though.

I’m probably going to have to go out to bike earlier tomorrow, since there’s going to be so many drunk drivers out there during the evening hours. I’m considering purchasing a bottle of el toro for myself, but I only have $28 left, and I am considering buying a bunch of things. Eh, I’ll just skip on da booze for now.

The tip of my middle finger goes numb on every bike ride, and today I figured out why. I always use the tip of my middle finger to apply pressure to my brakes.

That’s all I have for all of you, Laterios.

Today was a pretty wacky day.

Went to bed at 6am after watching the x-files on tnt.

Woke up at 9am to go shopping for clothes.

went to kohles, and got shirts.

went to famous footwear to get new pair of shoes

went to old navy for shorts.

went to joe’s crab shack for lunch; fish and chips.

came home and wore new clothes.

Went out to addison oaks with dad. Brought my camera along. On the way there, I opened the camera to make sure my memory card was there. It wasn’t, oh well.

Rode a bunch of laps on the pavement trail, and a little bit of the regular trail. about 12 miles total.

Got home, went online for a while.

Got back up without eating dinner, and proceeded to ride another 10 miles on the bike, in an effort to make up for yesturday’s missed miles. I ended up getting 10 whole miles. So, I’m going to have to do 18 miles tomorrow.

Good news with the pants I got. I’ve dropped from size 42 down to 38. I’m very happy to return back to the 30s, I haven’t seen these sizes since middle school.

Pistons beat the bucks to advance to round two in the nba playoffs, tonight. I wasn’t around to watch the game, but it’s pretty kickass that they finished them off at home.

and that’s all i have to say.

It’s been a not so good day.

Got pleanty of sleep, woke up to find that it had been raining all day, and was still raining.

So, that cancelled my plans to bike.

Last night I transferred $180 from paypal to bank account. I suppose I’ll go shopping tomorrow, since I’m in such desperate need for clothes.

that’s all i’ve got for y’all. Take care, everybody.

I don’t feel like blogging.

I rode 15 miles last night, and 15 miles tonight. I still have to ride 15 miles every day after this.

I got a new shirt. It’s a hawiaan. It’s pretty big on me in both waist, and height. I can understand the waist, but height? I didn’t know I was going to start shrinking when I started this weight loss thing.

I really need to get a tan. I don’t like having a pale face. Perhaps I’ll blow some cash at a local tanning salon. Summer isn’t due for a couple months.

I haven’t been able to make it out to addison. Sorry, people.

I’ve been tired, angry, and depressed for the past couple days. I don’t know why. I’m just not very happy with life. This diet thing is very difficult. Perhaps my depression is being caused by all the food I have been missing out on. I really don’t like the people who say they go to food for emotional healing. I fear I am becoming one of them.

“Murder by numbers” has to be the greatest title for a movie in the history of cinema.

Man I’m hungry. Does anybody know if replacing food with water in the middle night is a safe?

I’d like to become a vigilante. Too bad there isn’t much crime in oxford.

I think I’ll just start telling people I’m a vigilante. It’s not my fault there isn’t any crime, I was born to be a vigilante!

I’ll probably need to learn karate to be a vigilante..

Maybe I can be the non-violent vigilante.

Yeah, that’s perfect.

This new red hot chilli peppers album is good. So is the new neil young one. Lots of good new music coming out this summer.

Well, that’s all I have for you, internet users. Have a good night.
