Tuesday, reprise

Since I've got some free time I'll post again. First I wanted to point out I wrote an entry on how to look after skate bearings and bike gears. (In the hope that this would be interesting and maybe informative to all the skaters and cyclists I am friends with.) Naturally this discussion mentioned Petro-chemical distillates. So now of the four Google ads, three refer to the black dino juice in the ground. (Speaking of which, ever notice you change the word Freedom to Liberation in Operation Iraqi Freedom and you have the true reason for the Bush administration's misadventure in Iraq?)

Anyway enough of that! I went skating today! Outside! It was wonderful, except for the part where my time positively STUNK. I maxed out at 34km/h with a light wind, what the $#*@ is wrong with me? Is it the cold? Is it the sweat pants? Am I still recovering from Scooters? Is my GPS busted (the heart rate monitor was not working). There was a head wind, but it was not that bad. I wonder why I did so badly.

I noticed that I am on Eric Gee's (see EGCSkates.com on the right) blog roll. Thanks coach! I should start some sort of incentive program, list me in your blog you get a cookie, list me in the blog roll... hmm, Chocolate Milk? Maybe the next survey topic can be what rewards I should give. On second thought this whole paragraph is an example of a really bad idea.

Time to do some push-ups and drink my milk. Maybe tomorrow I can discuss the relative merits using an elliptical machine instead of skating, there has to be some merit in it somewhere... isn't there?
