Pizza? Did someone say pizza? We're having pizza tonight, we have it every Friday night. I've really been tightening my diet, less red meat, pork, etc-more big salads, less calories over all. I'm very excited by the time pizza Friday rolls around, it's also a nice reward for continued "all ride weeks"-even in this heat-and much easier than making dinner.

On another note, I'm kinda nervous about the heat, they're calling for 99, 100F today. I wasn't great with my hydration this morning, in fact, I've been trying to catch up since lunch but, this heat takes a lot out of me and I'm worried that I'm behind. Last week I was super-cautious, having drunk at least a gallon of water/Gatorade by the time I left work and, I was underhydrated by the time I got home. Also, this is the type of weather where I ride w/out my helmet, it simply traps too much heat and I get over heated, I'll probably take it off once I hit the MV Trail. I'm thinking about getting out early tomorrow morning to shake the dirt off the 29er but may think better of that idea given tomorrow's heat index of 105 to 110F.

I like Summer but, this is a bit much. When will the insanity end???
