Bike Trips

This week:
Tuesday: biked with Heidi and Jill 15 miles around Battle Ground with some hills
Wednesday: biked to work and back from 6.4 miles out. 12.8 mile round trip (Climbing out of Camas is like climbing out of your own grave)
Thursday: biked with Heidi and Jill 12.25 miles; mostly flat. Heidi's odometer turned over 100 miles.
Friday: biked to work from 12 miles out. 24 mile round trip. Met a guy on the road named "Scooter" who was just wrapping up a four-day, 200 mile biking/camping tour from Battle Ground to somewhere in Oregon.

Today is Saturday, and why I awoke in the 3 o'clock hour, I don't know, but Heidi and Jill and I are planning a 30 mile round trip, with some hills. At the apex of our trip we'll visit NW Organics farm, where I hope to buy some good-quality garlic for seeding my garden, and some for eating too.

Sunday and Monday will be days of rest from biking.

A month ago I was typically weighing in at 223 and now I am centered around 218. The Wii Fit says a good BMI for me would be 196. That's about what I had thought before the Wii, but somehow, having the Wii tell me helped. I can hardly wait to see how fast I can truck along when I'm 20 pounds lighter and stronger in the legs, heart and lungs.

Shower Curtain

So we got on BedBathAndBeyond.com and began looking at their shower curtains. Heidi said, "If they have one with big red poppies, that's the one I want." And wouldn't you know, on page 13 of 13, and on clearance, for 19.99, there it was; a shower curtain with big red poppies.
