I have not taken a vacation from work yet. who needs one? gas prices are so dang nasty that companies are tossing profits out of the door. you get your company as lean as possible, then comes the grim reaper of corporations known as mr. rightsizing. you may know him as mr. downsizing, however; he was renamed to be more politically correct. all you fundamentalists might try to argue the difference between the 2, but all of you are sitting in the corner office lighting cigars with dollar bills so keep your democratic opinions to yourself. since moving i have done very little of nothing in the way of working out. i basically retired from the world of cycling and really only have to ride about 2 more races this year to fulfill any obligations to the team i ride for. but, i realize that i really do like the sport. when valverde charged to the line and overtook mr. kim of columbia-highroad today in the 1st stage of the 2008 TDF, i was up yelling and screaming in amazement and happiness as the spanish national champion scored another win of his awesome career. did that sound like someone who's a big fan? fan? yes, i am...rider, i do not think so. i think i'm a bit burned out on getting beat in races and training like a madman, or else not being able to train very much but showing up to races and getting my teeth kicked in, or just a combination of all or none of the above. so where does that leave me on a saturday afternoon with lots of house projects, a BMC ready to ride, and a pair of running shoes needed to see some action as well? i'll probably drink a couple more sips of coffee, read the bible, and try to decide which is funnier -- 1) the way my wife KO'd 6 straight opponents on Nintendo Wii Boxing yesterday, and now she battles to even lift her arms do to severe soreness and middle back pain OR 2) the fact that i'm a raging athleteaholic sitting stationary bummed out because my motivation got crushed because i don't like to loose. FELIZ DIA!
