Chores

Sitting here at the coffee shop, I’m completely brain dead. I have to come here to call mom and dad for our weekly talk. My home internet is unreliable, thanks to last weekend’s debacle with my landlady. So, as my conversation nears its end, I find myself staring at six photos for over an hour, wondering what to blog about. Heck, I don’t even know what to blog about.

Tonight started with me dropping off the laundry at the Green Hanger. I took a walk and ended up at the Bridge Pizza for a slice, where I posted a tweet.

When I got back to put the laundry in the dryer, one load hadn’t drained the water. I pulled out all these dripping wet clothes and tossed them into the dryer, adding more time. So what if it shorts out? I couldn’t deal with waiting and paying for another spin.

While the clothes dried, I went to the Orange Street Trail for my usual day-off hike. I posted my best time and walked in the dark. It still amazes me how well you can see while hiking in the middle of the night under the Big Sky.

Now the laundry is done, and I’ve stopped in to call my parents. The chores are done, well, almost. I think I’ll go home and just plop myself right into bed.

Oh, I remembered something to blog about! MBRA posted the cyclocross standings today, and the results are up for last weekend’s races. The big news is that I finally cracked the top 5 in a cyclocross race this weekend. Last year, it was no problem, but this year, my ultra-endurance training has made my top-end performance somewhat impotent.
