Easter

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. The potted Tulips are blooming. A time of Resurrection and new life. It was a beautiful day. A quiet day of reflection. The Easter frogs say hello. I am not sure what frogs have to do with Easter. Or maybe I have the wrong holiday.

It was the first day I haven't gone for a bike ride since Ash Wednesday. Some days I am on my bike for hours. Last week I went to UWM for another lecture after doing some other errands all by bicycle. It was very worth the while and ran late. I had to rush home before it got dark.

Just four days (sorry... weeks) until Iola. I'm not sure if I'll race if I can't get my weight under 260lbs. It boggles my mind that I am running five pounds heavier every year that goes by. Yes I splurge once and a while and make fun of myself but I have been cutting back consistently over the years and just keep gaining.

More tulip.

Hitting the trails also. All in good shape outside of the dead falls from the strong winds we have been having. My legs feel they are strained and without reserves, though I get them to do what I want. Feeling I had nothing left the other day I had nothing better to do than put it into the big ring and push and pull on my crankity cranks just because I could. Uphill downhill or just level ground. A rest today, most likely ride to the gym tomorrow and then some rain days coming and my legs should be exploding with energy when I get out again.

And just to prove I have my own Peeps, I took a picture.

We went to Redbox again and got "2012." One of those movies that are so bad that they are good. And with technology making it all look so real it is a must see. Not to mention that it is all about Wisconsin. I could write all day on the things that don't make sense, but I don't want to take the fun out of it. I always wanted to visit the South Pole.
