tuesday the sixth of february

Long time, no post. Not much is new. Got a new caad9 road frame, but haven't taken it off the trainer yet. Hopefully I'll get it out this weekend. Even on the trainer it feels stiffer than the schwinn I was riding. It ought to fit me better too. I've been putting more time in on the cross bike than anything else. Trails at siue are awesome right now, but the new loop is quite lumpy still and kills my hands when I ride the cross bike with lobster claws on. I hit a wall last night when I stopped being smooth in the woods beacuse I hadn't eaten anything. I was still fine on the road, but i couldn't coordinate anything well in the woods. Tried the pork burrito at qdoba-once is enough for me, chicken still the best. Later, I went and watched the departed-not bad.

We had to put one of our cats to sleep yesterday, she was about 16 years old (apparently that's about 80 in human years) and has been going downhill for a while. Tumor in her nose, fluid in her lungs, fun stuff like that. I'm sad to see her go, but her quality of life wasn't what it used to be.
