Resting

I had grand plans for today. I’m four miles away from running a marathon over five days (4 on Monday, 7 on Tuesday, 4 on Wednesday, 7 on Thursday), which would be kind-of cool. It’s a great day to bike into work. I really wanted to watch another episode of Dexter, and that would have… Continue reading Resting

My Sunday Brunch

This is an absolute horrible start to “bike to work week”.
