Things Get Fixed
I now have my bike back, and luckily it wasn’t too expensive to repair. This weekend wasn’t really a weekend. It seems like I spent to whole time working, but not really. It’s hard to explain.

When things break
I think I broke my bike. I’m not sure what happened exactly at this point. I think It’s my freewheel hub, but who knows. I don’t like my bike being broken, as I am still limited in my ability to run. Instead of waiting I hoped in the car almost immediately to get the bike
When Things Go Wonky
I sat down for my meditation session today, and I just couldn’t keep my mind quiet. I was jumping all around. I was thinking about my long ago attempt to resume karate many many years ago, abs jumping forward to my current practice or rather lack there of. Honestly, after a year of bit going
Mighty Moe
I don’t think I have really thought of a time when women weren’t allowed to run long distances.
