Wait...I'm assuming you have Yahoo DSL like me...Yes you can u-install IE but why would you want to? It comes in handy sometimes for some functions..I was just curious. I'm not doing anything with EI.

Riding over Hawthorne/Via del Monte three times is probably not the best recovery ride.
Now my legs hurt.
They don't feel recovered. :(

Ouch! I'm going to do a spin out later at the RB or GP...haven't decided. Or, gasp, I may go for a long walk. Yup...walk. If anyone needs a definition of what that word means, PM me. :p :D

Why does Norv suck?
I haven't done crap today. Nothing. I sorta cleaned up my place a bit. I've had a salad and now I'm watching America's Next Top Model marathon. I'm addicted. I don't know why, but it's just fluff and I don't have to think. I haven't gone near Patsy...doesn't look like I'm going to.

I watched football all day, with exception of a couple hours, where I wasted time going to a bike shop, get my replacement cleats, drive to another bike shop, just to look around. Oh, but I did watch a little bit of the vuelta.

I've never been a Norv fan. Then again, I wasn't a Marty fan until the last 2 years.

Norv Turner does indeed suck...as does Ted Cottrell...Basically thay took a 14-2 Chargers team, poised to absolutely conquer the whole of the NFL team this year, and turned it into a confused mass of Junior College rejects.
I was so disgusted...but then I remembered that I don't have any vested interest whatsoever, went to the fridge, and enjoyed a Sam Adams Oktoberfest...then another.
On a more related-to-bike-forums note, I haven't ridden in 3 weeks. I think I'm going to sell my bike.
Crazy...since I'm not at all depressed or emotionally unbalanced at all. I just don't feel like riding, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
/not really going to sell my bike...if I do, my tire pump will be useless.

You probably do more productive things on Sunday than watching NFL football. I should have just went for a ride.

Anyone cross-train by rowing? I went to the storage unit and retrieved my Concept 2 (http://www.concept2.com/us/default.asp) indoor rower that hasn't been used since we lived in Pennsylvania. I was surprised that 5 minutes with a rag, and it was good as new.
My attention span isn't very long on something like this, but I do enjoy it infinitely more than any other indoor machine (elliptical, treadmill, etc). Perhaps now I can elevate my upper body from "prison camp" (thanks ovo) to merely "emaciated".

Oh no. I disagree. I've learned how to be breezy, easy, fresh...Covergirl. I've learned that if I stop cycling, ate nothing for a year, I too, could be a size 0. I've also learned makeup tips and how to move my shoulder back and tilt my head for photos. I've learned that if you have too much arm in a photo, it will make you look rounder (hello? That's why I look so fat in my photos lately. I just need to move my arms out of all photos - even those where I have them on my handle bars). I've learned that you should relax your face, and arch your back in most photos.
All very valuable information.
^^^^^
But wait, you left out the lessons of the NFL. You run and crash into somebody with a different uniform, they fall down and go boom.
I survived the Urban Assault Race in Long Beach today. The best thing I can compare it to is the Amazing Race except you're on a bicycle. It was a blast.

My husband rode his bike today for the first time since he broke his ribs (2 weeks). I though it was too soon, but he said he felt great, just a little sore afterward. I'm thankful because he has been able to do nothing for 2 weeks and he'd give me these looks when I'd go out to ride, made me feel guilty. :( (a little guilty anyway. :p)

Just finished a spinerval session. Well, didn't exactly complete it. I was only able to manage the warm-up, 2 minutes of main material and then cool down. :cry:
This is now my new goal; to be able to complete the full dvd in 1 sitting.

Great news. I did a century 3 weeks after breaking 2 ribs. I was surprised that they healed as fast as they did but who are we to argue?

Cool down is the best part. Just concentrate on that.

It was around 50 degrees and raining all day up here in Portland, so I flat out bailed on the Livestrong ride. I can ride in passing showers and I can ride in the cold. I just have no interest in riding in the cold with a steady constant rain.
The weekend was far from a bust though. I had a great time hanging out with some old college friends and I raised a good chunk of change for the Livestrong foundation. I also got in a nice ride around Portland yesterday. I also saw a city where cyclists and cars apparently manage to coexist without angst, bitterness and anger.
