Barenaked Ladies said it best - "it's been one week since I . . ."
Speaking of Barenaked Ladies, their new album "All in Good Time" is very good, and I highly recommend it.
But I digress . . .
I knew there would be some off days with my vacation and work travel over the last week, but I was really hoping to sneak in a ride or two. Alas, it wasn't to be, and even though I'm a little bummed out, it isn't the kind of thing that would have derailed previous efforts. Before now, it would have been a total momentum killer, and the Experiment would have been over. Not anymore. Shrug it off and get back on, and that's what I did tonight. It's all about realistic goals and expectations, and I have managed to keep those in perspective.
Time: 1:28:52
Distance: 22.68 miles
Avg. speed: 15.3 mph
Max. speed: 19.7 mph
Music: Barenaked Ladies - All in Good Time and Barenaked Ladies - Barenaked Ladies Are Me
Relevant lyric: "I'm a walking advertisement for everything I never meant to be"
Miles to March 2010 goal: 48.93
Days to March 2010 goal: 6
To take 8 days off and be able to jump and crank out a pretty fast 22+ miles is astounding to me, and it solidifies my feeling that I am turning the corner on being physically fit again.

No Gullet Report report right now - I haven't had dinner yet. And in case I don't come back and edit this post, I will disclose that I stopped at Wendy's and had a spicy chicken sandwich and chili (instead of fries - it's all about choices) for lunch, with a Dr. Pepper, because who doesn't love a Dr. Pepper every now and then?
An added bonus - I thought I had 86+ miles to go to reach goal, but it was only 71+. Nice. That takes a little of the pressure off.
I'm out-
