Bike commute

Hey so I cut 6 minutes off my bike commute. Instead of taking 53 minutes, it only ("only" being quite a relative term) took me 47 minutes. Thursday and Friday has a chance of rain, so Im probably not going to risk riding in thunder and lightning. I dont need any NDE thankyouverymuch. But if I watch The Weather Channel (local on the eights!) sometimes they give you a rundown of what things are going to look like (weather wise) (man Im using a lot of parenthesis) around 8 am noon 5 pm and 8 pm. Something like those times. And if things look clear up until 5 pm, IM GOLD (that means I am good to ride that day). Oh and I also rode listening to my iPod. FIRST TIME. So coach! I can listen to music and still hear cars whizz by! I mean, this is fanfreakintastic! I just have crap headphones that fall out of my ear sometimes. But I use them since they're longer than my iPod headphones.

Anyways. I think to commute to work, I need to be in better shape. So if I dont go commute Thursday or Friday, I must go to the gym. I can take Friday off and do yoga Saturday and Sunday. The reason why I wouldnt bike commute on Thursday and Friday is because it's supposed to rain. Falling and hurting myself is hard enough when you're dry.
Blood, sweat, tears? You think thats bad, try blood, sweat, tears, and rain.

Are you asleep yet?

Brenda was talking about how she looked dorky bike commuting. I dont think she gets that everyone looks dorky bike commuting. Especially if you do it properly. Helmet. Lycra. Bookbag. Blinky reflectors. I need a big orange triangle with reflector strips on the back and Im set.

Ugh, one vent for this morning. A driver didnt turn on her blinker. She was coming up behind me and I was about to cross over a driveway. And I saw the car slowing down BUT SHE DIDNT HAVE HER BLINKER ON!! What am I a mind reader? Use your blinker thats what its for! At least give me the opportunity to prevent you from running me over. I shouldnt have been on the sidewalk, but that street is just way to busy and I have yet to grow balls so I ride on the sidewalk during this particular part of the commute.

Oh and when I WAS on the road, it seems there was a lot more people driving past me all aggressively. I could literally see this one black lady's eyes roll as she passed me. I HAVE RIGHTS TOO!

OH YEAH! Amy is coming to church with me on Sunday! Yay! She used to always teach primary and then she got all pregnant so its not like I've had the opportunity to go to church with her for a long time. And when I was living with her, I think I was working a lot at Six Flags Over Georgia (ie, on Sundays).
So yay! Amy said something about all the "hot men" there. No comment!
