Turn the knob to 11


Monday, December 3

too much today

Having the day off was good and bad. Good because I got to leisurely drink my coffee in my living room with a cat in my lap. Bad because I eventually got up off my ass and went outside. At 11 I went over to Breakaway to play indoor soccer for a couple of hours. Yup, nearly two hours running back and forth chasing a ball with guys much more skilled than I. I did score a goal, and a left footed (I'm right foot dominant) shot at that. That told me the ankle is nearly 100%, it's a shame the rest of me isn't. I dropped off a care package to my brother in Dallas so he could make more headway with his single speed project. A fork, handlebar and two sets of V-brakes should allow him to get it mostly done. I had some time to kill before the 6 pm Z$F so I watched Dr Phil and Oprah. Yeah, that was more of the bad part of the day. So then it was off to ride the Fe2+ on rollers. That was different. I didn't realize how much I moved my hands around on the Seven. The Mary bars are great on the trail, but on rollers they're limited to only one position which gets a bit numbing at about 40 minutes. By an hour in I was spent. All the running, well, sprinting really, had taken its toll on my legs. Time for some Vitamin B (beer) and Vitamin I (ibuprofen) and sleep. It could be worse, I could have tried skate skiing on ungroomed trails too.
