I felt bad leaving the month of May with only two posts (even though that's twice as many as the month of April saw!), so I thought I'd better just write something on here - just because.
We've had a pretty busy month at our house, but not with anything specific. We're still trying to clean and organize the house and this past weekend I finally cleaned out all the stuff from "my side" of the bedroom that had been piled there since we had our new closets installed! It's finally almost looking like a bedroom again when you walk into the room...
We've also been trying to get ready for Fatty's 100 Miles of Nowhere bike ride. We're going to be riding it on Friday this week - only three days away! - at Memorial Park. We'll be doing 85 laps around the 1.18-mile picnic loop starting immediately after we drop the kids off for their last day of school.
So, in preparation for this event, we've gone to Memorial Park for the last two Fridays in a row to ride as much as we could in about an hour and a half. And "as much as we could" turned out to be only 25 miles. And I was in severe pain. My butt just isn't used to riding for long periods of time on my road bike saddle. Yowch!
We're headed to Memorial Park for "date night" again tonight to get in some more riding... not that it's going to make much difference at this point other than to cement in my mind how painful the actual ride is going to be on Friday.
The good thing is that with this 100 Miles of Nowhere event, everyone gets to declare themselves the "winner" of their category. Which reminds me, I need to come up with my category before the ride on Friday! Hmmm...
