Bruised butt

So I had a little fall the other day on the mountain bike. We were heading out to the trail and I got too close to another riders handlebars and kinda freaked out and ended up going down and sliding on my left side about 10 feet on the dirt road. So yeah, I'm kinda scraped up and theres a big bruise on my butt so it sorta hurts when I sit down or sleep. But nevertheless I went back to the trail last night and was able to ride with minimal pain. I'm just glad to be back riding.

As far as me, not much has been goin on. Mostly workin and riding when its not raining. This week has shaped up pretty good weatherwise, last week was very rainy. I'm trying to remember more of what's gone on since my last post but I'm really having some amnesia here. I really gotta work on saving some money for the upcoming schoolyear, although its hard when I want to spend all my money on bike stuff. :-)

Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to be able to go out to St. Joseph and visit Laura before she starts work this Tuesday. Kinda disappointed about that but I know I will be seeing her soon. The annual 4th of July celebration up north with the family is coming up in about a month here, and I have a little somethin that I'm workin on for that as far as bringing someone up with me, but we'll see.

I guess one thing that is new, I decided last night that today starts my adventure to try and drop some pounds like I did last summer. I have the same goal as last summer, to lose 20 pounds- but in half the time of last summer. I want to be down 20 pounds by the prologue of the Tour de France. There is really no connection with my losing weight or no need to lose that weight by that date but I figured it was a good goal. Plus by losing the weight, I'll look much better in a bathing suit when Laura and I hang out on the beach when I visit ;-) I'll also be faster on the bike.

Thats about all for now, just here, workin at the shop.. have a good weekend kids.
