Suffering. Great, grand and glorious suffering. 50 mile ride yesterday in the mountains, tons of climbing, 7.18 miles straight at one point, felt awesome. Starting riding today, broke a spoke (again) and only got 30 minutes of riding in, but I dropped the bike and started running. Ran 5.25 miles in the blistering heat (97) with lots of hills then did a bunch of pushups/abs. That is on top of the 100 snatches at 0400 this morning. Fucking loving it.
I am sick of my bike breaking. As cool and cheap and somewhat good the local kids are at fixing my bike I need real mechanics. So tomorrow I go to Macedonia to a real bike shop to get my bike some serious TLC. I will probably have to have my wheel rebuilt. It will cost more but worth it.
It has just been hot as balls here.
The 16th will be 9 months here. I get another bonus then also. I have 5 sick days I need to burn by Nov. Save that for the winter.
I am so completely out of touch with most everything. I haven't watched TV in 9 months. I check the news but that is it. I have no idea about much else and it is fucking nice. Simplicity. Work, schoolwork, riding, lifting, read, eat, sleep. I do miss drinking, smoking buds and sex (wasn't getting much anyway) but I can deal.
That is it.
