219: I know she can, she's my sister Anne


I am a crosser.
As such my training objectives for January are pretty basic:


1. Keep moving.
2. Don’t allow my arteries to clog with gravy.
3. Try to not break any all time weight gain records
4. try to ride a bike once in a while.

This is also the time of year when I do a little running. If you’d like to get a picture of me running, imagine Phoebe from Friends running and you’ll have a pretty good picture. Put me on a treadmill and it’s even worse.







Recently, I was running on the treadmill at work. I stared out flailing around as is my normal move. Finally I started to get into a rhythm my arms pumping, sweat pouring, Belly bouncing, everything was going well.








Unfortunately when pumping my arms I kinda karate chopped my MP3 player headphone cord, which was attached to my MP3 player sitting in the cup holder of the treadmill. My violent arm movement, pulled the wire attached to my MP3 player so violently that I yanked the little music machine out of the cup holder and shot it out behind me and across the room.

If not for the quick matrix like reaction time of one my co-workers, I might have sent her to the hospital. YIKES.

Luckily the MP3 player and my co-worker were uninjured. I on the other hand, couldn’t walk up stairs after my little run on the treadmill…







I put this super hot, sexy, sleek, salsa fork on my bike. I'll admit I have been lusting after it ever since I saw Peaches. Sadly I won't get to ride this bike anytime in the next since the midatlantic has been monsoon country the past two days. Look how sexy it is:
Monkey, Zayne and I had a very fun ride tonight. Well, okay it wasn't fun. It was soulless, but at least I did something.
see objective #1

Have you guys done a lot of work since I was there? Looks different.

The VisitPA vest is key to indoor training...

Doing anything short of spending the entire month of January bombed to the bejeezus and watching NFL playoffs and the first semi-serious NHL hockey of the year, has to be considered a raging success for those of us prone to the entropic delights.

Unfortunately, I may not be on the road to success just yet.
