sweat, sunscreen, and lemonade stands...

today is my first day off in a while. i've been biking like a maniac (or so it feels to me), and my legs are tight. but i LOVE it. i'll be strong like an oak when this is all through.

as my title implies, i've been enjoying the finer things in life during my training adventures. on saturday, it was about 80 degrees and sunny, and i was biking past a bunch of youth soccer games when i spotted a "lemonade", aka ice cream and kool-aid stand. it's bad karma to pass one and not buy anything, and i was thirsty, so i stopped and got a cup of lime kool-aid. delicious. 25 cents a cup, but i decided to be generous and gave the little girl 2 dollars. mmm.
i wish they had a lemonade stand in the computer lab...

anyway, yeah. i'm currently biking between 25 and 30 miles a day. if any big riders are reading this, please don't laugh. i know it's not much, but i'm in school!! i'll get there, if slowly...

and as always. thank you all for your support--i've just broken $5000.
