Remember on Friday when I was bitching about it being over 100 degrees here in Portland? Well, it's been raining and in the 60's since Sunday night, so needless to say I am leery about making any wishes right about now. Also it means my Jeep is a swimming pool---what fun!
A few weeks ago the Roommate and I participated in the Bridge Pedal, a bike not-s0-race including 8 bridges and about 24 miles. Today a neighbor gave us a photo of our "team". I look worn out, huh? I had gotten my front break replaced a few days before and the installer kinda fixed it to where the break pads rubbed the rim, unbeknown to me at the time, so I ended up working a lot harder than I needed to. For the whole 24 miles. In that light I will not feel guilty for not working out if I should miss a day or two in the next month.
More on my fun weekend later. Gotta pretend to go to the gym now.

Hard to believe those spindly legs could power a bike at all, let alone one with the break on.
They need a massage....
Yea, I was wondering how long it would take Portland's weather to make you eat your words about the heat.
Yeah, I knew the 100 degree weather wouldn't last forever (3 days was enough) but I didn't expect October weather in August. Go figure.
For some reason, half the people I know live in the Pacific Northwest and y'all have been having MY weather all summer and I have been having yours! I want my weather back. Only without the humidity. Thanks.
I'm sorry, I'd love to leave a comment, but my hands are too cold from this freaky weather.
didn't we just get summer?
Mostly, I wanted to say congrats on the Bridge Pedal. I have friends who have done that in the past and it's not easy.
