Tuesday Night Dance Party

Oh Geez, I love that Sheryl Crow album, Tuesday Night Music Club.  Not quite Adele, but pretty darn rootin tootin good.  I went for a run tonight, and stuck to my 10 mile route...there were a lot of people out, even though it was later in the day and the sun had already set.  I was going to post something about sudoku, but since drafting a possibly Earth Shattering Blog Post about being able to solve a Hard puzzle in under 5 minutes, I've fallen off my concentration and my times are back in the 15 minute range.  Somewhere there's a lab rat saying, "Serves you right."  Anyway, here's my run route, and another playlist.  It's some of the same music...though no Sheryl Crow or Adele.

I know, totally pathetic.  Had to share though.  Sudoku really helps my patience.

Chilly run

I've been doing some core strength workouts at the Saint Paul Skyway YMCA, trying to make sure those jumpy knee ligaments and tendons are staying in place while I'm on my bicycle. I've also started getting back on the treadmill, and tonight, I guess I got a spur in my saddle and went out for a ten mile loop. Yesterday I rode the Raleigh xxix in the snow and on some trails, and besides having a little too much air in the tires, had a good time despite myself.

The snowfall has everything looking still and feeling quiet.

"Growing up in a place that has winter, you learn to avoid self-pity. Winter is not a personal experience, everybody else is as cold as you, so you shouldn't complain about it too much. You learn this as a kid, coming home crying from the cold, and Mother looks down and says, 'It's only a little frostbite. you're okay.' And thus you learn to be okay. What's done is done. Get over it. Drink your coffee. It's not the best you'll ever get but it's good enough."
