Testing the Theory of Muscle Memory
The past year or so, I've been testing the theory of muscle memory. We know it exists, I don't think, we have a clear understanding of the pure theory of muscle memory. I'm like a petri dish in a chemical laboratory; testing hypothesis after hypothesis to better understand the human body, and how the body works in relation to the mind and nutrition. I have been painting on and off for 6 weeks, same project. I have had contractors at the house, the holidays, the bike rides, Palo Duro Canyon, the girls home
It’s been a long time, I can tell my exercise ball needs air.
I am no longer ergonomically set up on my exercise ball for computing. Bummer, needs more air. It feels so good to be sitting on an exercise ball when I'm working. I've been super busy, the holidays are here. For the first time in my life, I don't actually feel stressed about it. I just feel like

Long Strange Trip, it was.
There was a time and a place when I would get on my bike and race for 6 hours, like it was a 1 hour tempo ride. Those days are gone. Apparently. I guess, when you have a year off for multiple jaw surgeries, the chance that you're going to come back and NOT feel the pain, is highly unlikely.

Everybody needs a pair of these shoes!!
Ha, Ha, made you look. It's been 2 months since I've broken my toe. Tip: Don't ever have un-pure, or mean thoughts about someone, or the negative energy will getcha! I decreased my volume and intensity on running. I would feel it sometimes, but the the last few days it was incredibly painful. So off I went

My Boyfriend, Scott
Many of you have heard of him. Some of you have met him. He's truly a delight. With race wheels on, weighing in at 21 pounds, he's very impressive. I'm still working on a real name. Until then, I'll just call him, my boyfriend, Scott. The nice thing about my boyfriend Scott, is he's there for me, whenever I'm ready. He never talks back. I always feel better about myself when I'm done hanging out with him. Now on Friday's ride
