Rain day #12—and a welcome rest day

Thunderstorms started booming their way into the Miami Valley last night. A light rain falls even this morning, though the online weather radar shows most heavy rains are much further to the north. It's a day for driving, and a chance for rest that I can use well. Not only am I tired from lack of sleep, my butt has started to develop saddle sores. (I'll write in more depth on saddle sores.)

And a chance for errands, including picking up the Trek 850 from Kettering Bike Shop and leaving off the Lotus, which has developed a worrisome click in the bottom bracket. I need to shop for food too, at least for the staples of a week's breakfasts and dinners. And Practice Yoga has a special Vinyasa this evening with live music by BJSR, a cooly supple musician-yogi I've seen beside me in class.

Monday is a rest and crosstraining day

It had been threatening rain, even actually dropping a bit of precipitation overnight. In this morning preparation time, there was a faint sheen of wetness on the brick walkway. The forecast for the full day included moderate, intermittant showers. So by the time for leaving on the bike, I decided that this is a rest day.

But that didn't mean a total rest day, which I had taken on Saturday. On my way home from work, I stopped at Practice Yoga for my crosstraining, and it was a superb workout. The 5:30 Open-Level Vinyasa, a popular time, was directed by Kathi Kizirnis, a popular leader. At least 20 yogis were in the practice room, and each had a separation of four inches from another yogi.

Soon enough the sun will set late enough to allow me to bike to the Oregon District for a 7:15 class. (Sun move fast!)

Rain day #8

Temperature: 41°F at 08:00
Precipitation: light to moderate rain
Winds: none to 5 mph
Clothing: Work casual
Time: not available
Bikeway users: not available


It's continued raining off and on since yesterday. Roads were spottily dry this morning, and rain is again forecast to continue through the day. So today I can go to Cardinal Fitness after work and then to Practice Yoga again.

But also, the hard drive crashed overnight on my laptop. I've got to bring it to some IT service to verify that the crash is real, and to replace it if necessary. My updates may be infrequent until next week.
