lazy and hot today. went to watch the world cup game with a friend at Buffalo Wild Wings this morning, it was incredible how many points Germany got. so instead of breakfast i had some boneless wings in parmesan garlic sauce, yum! later in the day i had a delicious mango smoothie and for dinner i enjoyed a huge watermelon with some other friends. since watermelon is just water, i think i'm going to have some cherries or strawberries tonight. the scale didn't change today, so i guess that's better than going up!
i rode my bike to and from the rec center where i played sand volleyball for 2hours this evening. so i was able to put in 10miles round trip. on the way there i took the scenic route, but part of it was flooded because of the lake it runs along. i got through most of the flood with just getting my tires wet, but the last 20feet or so was deep enough for my toes to get wet. lucky enough i had sandals so i didn't have to ruin gym shoes, but unlucky because of all the gross stuff that could be in the water. just think of it: pond scum, bacteria, other grossosities, ew! so on the way back i took the more direct route and didn't have to worry about dead fish. hopefully the storms will hold out and the flood will dry up, that's one of the best trails to ride!
i read in the idiot's guide today that there is no advantage in getting a woman's bike, the kind where the top tube is really low so that women can wear a skirt while riding. they are not as strong as men's bikes and women shouldn't have a problem riding a 'man's' bike nowadays. they are basically unisex. i wonder what the woman's guide to cycling will say about that...
well, i have no idea what tomorrow will bring. i'm sure i'll hop on my bike and put on a few more miles. it's supposed to be 85 and sunny all day.
