So I didn’t go riding yesterday because I partied with Mike C instead.  Today after work I had a beer which knocked me out but when I woke up I rode for a few hours. I forgot to see how far I went. Maybe like 50 miles. I did the haystack time trial in 51:36 which is a couple minutes better than the last time I did it so I guess I’m in a little better riding shape.  I was asthmatic the whole time though and didn’t feel totally up to snuff. When I came home I was totally blown. I guess I’ve just been working too hard this summer.  I can’t weight to go to Austin and start lifting again.

So I went riding today even though I felt bonked since the morning because of some reacurring liver problems that are also screwing up my lungs.  I didn’t ride at all last week and my legs were burnt today anyways because of that. I shouldn’t have ridden and only plan on riding from now on when I feel good. I should have stayed home and lifted weights all day today because that would have been easier on my body and I haven’t done that in forever.  I rode to Jamestown today and then came home and got on my bike and did a lap on Betaso.  It was fun enough though.  Last week I ran up to the royal arch and made it back ok. I couldn’t have run any more though because my right calf acted up on me again and made it so I had to kind of limp the last ways. There was a dumpy old guy who was running like a superstar though who I had to pass so that made me push it a little.  I rode and ran awesome last week.  Next week I will work with Mike so no dopage so maybe I’ll have the energy to ride after work.  Maybe I could run to if my calf feels up to it.  I won’t lift anymore though until I go to Austin next Sunday. I’m so excited to go to austin because I’ll be able to work out in the air conditioned house all day long!

ok so i figure i should write a post since i aint wrotened shnitzy in like forever.  I’ve been really listless lately, probably because Ima gonna blaze pretty soon and I don’t have all the motivation in the world on the eve of big transitions. I had a pretty good bike week last week though. Went to Betaso three times and did seven laps the last time I was there. On sunday Ima gonna go there with mike chapin for one last kickit with him.  this week I can’t remember if I even rode once. All i remember is just coming home and crashing. like today I came home and was out like a light all day.  My liver has been inflamed all week and hurting me and making me tired, probably from all the dope I’ve been smoking.  Jay’s been hooking me up every day at work and he or she who wishes to not be named done goved me a big ol bag of weed out of the blue and that rocked my world for a couple weeks.  I guess at this age you can’t smoke all day every day and be in elite form without having a liver rebellion.  Whatever.  I probably should make sure to drink tons of water.  Betaso has been fun.  Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow if I feel up to it.  That’s all for now.  I’m excited for Austin.  That will be so dope if it actually happens. 

I didn’t do much exersize last weekend. Saturday I helped Mike move his records too late and had bad insomnia because I got stoned and so I couldn’t get up early to do the Evans ride like I wanted. Instead I went mountain biking at Betaso with Mike Chapin and then we drove up to Sugarloaf mountain and did some riding around the Switzerland trail.

Today after work I went riding up North and just by luck I intercepted a six oclock ride that left from there that had at least 60 guys in it. There were no women in there though. They were all racers decked out in their team outfits and were averaging 28 mps, even going up the st vrain river. I was hanging out at the back of the pack and noticed that I was totally out of breath because I had bad asthma from getting ripped right before the ride, so I let them go. Three other guys got dropped before me though.  When the little road hit the road to Estes I went straight to see where the road continued and it went along some awesome rocks for a bit before it turned to dirt. I came back on 76th and slowly krept up on a guy I saw from the distance ahead. 

That would be cool to go on some rides this summer where I don’t have asthma and can hammer. I think I’m getting stronger.
