Well well, that was one fast weekend. I'm really not sure why we can't work 4 days and have 3 days off! These weekends are simply insufficient!
Something to take up when I become ruler of the universe...
moving on...
Saturday I had training, per usual! Except this session was my very last one with Missy the Trainer. I'll miss her. She's just a super genuine, sweet person...and those are the kind of people I like to be around!
Anyway... training was good. I weighed myself when I got home and it said 214.4! Can you believe that? I don't think it stuck... but it's a downward swing and I'll take it!
Later that night, I was heading out to see Fatty's band play. I hadn't seen them yet, and I was very excited! Of course we got to the bar that it was at and found out that his band was going on last. Unfortunately, Joel and I couldn't stay that late, so we missed out :-(
They are playing again soon though (in June) so I hope to make it to that one.
I will share with you the highlight of the night, though... which was discovering THIS HUGE ROCKING CHAIR.
(this is one of Fatty's bandmates. I told him he looked like a little baby in this chair, and asked him to suck his thumb for the picture. He refused. But when I asked him to poop his pants, he gladly complied.)
Amazing!
Aaaand, moving on again.
Sunday!
Sunday I woke up and headed out for a bike ride. I thought I was being a genius and decided to go over to Fort Devens. Devens is a military base. It's really cute, with lots of short hilly streets and big parking lots. It's usually very quiet in there, but just my luck... I drive in... and there's a 5k race going on! Ha!
The base is big enough for the both of us though, it was fine.
The Low Lights :
• Too many NO TRESPASSING signs. I wanna go where I wanna go, dangit! Top secret smop secret!
• There was one very steep hill I couldn't make it up :-(
• I set my cyclemeter app wrong, so it didn't properly record my ride. My guess is I did about 10 miles.
The High Lights
• I got practice on real street, with even an occasional car! Scary, but good.
• I made some friends!
Here's Hester the Groundhog :
And Charles the Chipmunk (look carefully, you'll find him!) :
• I found a cool gazebo (which was right by a pond) (seems I discovered a blurry spot on my lens too, oops!)
I realized I am not quite ready for off roading!
Heck!
So, that was my ride! I got a good workout in with all the hills... even the ones that defeated me at least left me with a gift of sweat and burning quads.
Then, I had to run home, clean myself up and head out to see my friend Becky in a show! The theater company she belongs to was putting on Sweet Charity. It was great!
Wish I could have gotten a shot of the gorgeous cast! But I am not so rude. All you get it a dark shot of the stage before the show :-)
