Yesterday I was in Salt Lake with Cami, and I didn’t get a chance to do a workout. We had a really good time and got to eat lunch with Cami’s dad at Olive Garden. The salad was good and the soups were excellent. Later we hung out a bit with Staci and Tiffani. For … [Read more…]
My poor bicycle hasn’t seen any action for months and months, so today seemed like the day to make a change. First I inflated the tires with the tiny-but-very-effective bike pump.
