I needed to drop something off ad a friend's house, and I realized that I haven't biked further than Davis Sq. in I don't know HOW long. So, I went for a 5.5mi bike ride this evening. Stopped in the middle to pick up some Sake as I've been craving it like MAD lately, and came home again.

That felt gooood. I really love biking, I need to do more of it.

I wish I'd started earlier this evening, as I like it less once it gets dark, and I don't know if any of you have noticed but it's getting dark at 7:30 these days. (Don't shoot the messenger!) But hey, it was a great ride, and now I'm all reved up to get something done this evening. Watch out laundry...

hmm, I require a biking icon.

I don't run.
I can't run.
I'll play ultimate frisbee for 2-3 hours straight, running most of the time, but going for a jog? Can't do it. Never could. Bores the hell out of me and hurts in strange ways that playing frisbee doesn't.

3 years ago I bought a pair of nice running shoes, and swore that I wouldn't put them on except to go running. They've sat unworn in the back of our closet since then.

This morning, I went for a run.
I wore those shoes.

Today a hard-fought 2/3 of a mile. Tomorrow... likely the same. But someday!
