justs like riding a bike>>>

I decided that I needed to cross train, thanks to my dad and his neighbor I now own a bike, it's a little rusty, but it works just fine.  I purchased  he obligatory helmet, and set out.  Within the first 50 feet my quads were burning.  I thought I was in a little better shape than that , but I pushed through it.  I have to say that even though I hadn't ridden a bike in 3 decades I did fairly wel, it came right back, as the saying goes just like riding a bike, you never forget.  Well, I may not have forgotten, but I didn't remember everything, like how exactly to stop smoothly and get started again without looking like a fool.  But I managed.  I was feeling pretty good about my ride up the chehalis western until on my way back, I forgot about hand signals and started to make a left hand turn, apparently there was a much more experience rider that had been trying to pass me and I hadn't noticed, that is until I almost crashed right into him, thankfully his skills were up to par and he was able to avoid me.  I yelled out "sorry-new at this".  He had to be thinking, that lady looks way too old to just be starting to ride, but he kept going and I will probably never see him again, no harm not foul.  I definatly need to invest in a new seat, the small ones are a little uncomfortable in some of the more private areas, but that is an easy fix, overall I feel pretty good about my ride.  Thankfully the weather was awesome so I was able to get in a couple good runs this week, the longest one was 8 miles.  Good progress towards the rock n roll half marathon. Sounds like the boys are all coming along with their training too, I am so looking forward to June 25th!  we have the hotels booked for those that are running, I keep envisioning myself standing there with my boys and all our finish metals, so cool, and it looks great on a man resume for those still looking that is.  I am hoping the weather gets nicer so  training will be a little easier.

  My schedule changed, big drop in pay, but I can really use the extra time right now for all the stuff going on.  I am keeping my eyes open for a new nursing position, preferrably one in hospital education, I will have my BSN soon, so that should help.  If anyone knows of any positions for an experienced RN I would be willing to check them out.

I have developed a bad habit of pushing back my homework assignments until saturday when they are due, that creates unnecessary stress, I need to over come that habit, but things are so busy, that is when it seems to fit.

It's been a tough few weeks, and I am exhausted, time for bed!
