today i...
well, where do i start? remember a month or so ago i mentioned hitting 5,000mi for the year that upcoming week? well, i still haven't hit it. i've been riding every day still, but mostly short rides around the neighborhood. i realized that i burned myself out big time the first 8 1/2 months of the year. it became a chore to ride and that's not the point. but, i made a commitment to ride every day and have stuck with it.
4 weeks ago, me and the girl decided to finally part ways after 7yrs of off and (mostly) on. hit me a little harder than i expected but that's usually how it is, right? it was a long time coming (and mutual) so i halfway expected it to be a little easier. that's ok though. i've got some good friends keeping me in check and have recently started spending some time with a girl that manages the bakery a couple of doors down. i'm not one to be alone, so i try to find company. so far, so good.
my bike shop started doing music shows (when you google us, it actually shows us as a legit venue with upcoming shows) and we've had some pretty good talent roll through....LA Witch, Crumb (whose next stop was third man records on their tour) and Sugar Candy Mountain to name a few. things are mostly going ok and i'm thankful to still be on my feet.
