Listen up, Lunchbox...

...there's something wrong with me. Seriously. tomorrow is my first at home HC workout, high cadence. According to my calendar, its "to fail" meaning i pedal til i can't pedal no more. i don't like cadence, it hurts my shins (insert whine) but yesterday, after my 1.5 hr ride, i'm like oh, tuesday is HC day and i was so tempted to try a set out, just for fun. This morning, at work, i'm thinking "today is weights and tomorrow is HC!"...driving home "i have to clean and lube the bike, gotta get it ready for HC!!!" ...coming back from weights, i'm about ready to jump out of the car i'm so excited for HC. What is going on? I know, tomorrow, i'm going to call myself an idiot. going to shake my head in disbelief over my own stupidity. but tonight? i wanna ride my bicycle.

oh and i get to go to a legal conference tomorrow. maybe thats another reason for the excitement? just another example of how there's something odd going on? but i haven't completely gone crazy. Today, as i was driving in traffic (55 mins to go 15 miles. ridiculous), i was *almost* calm as i saw the red lights and the cars backing up. Almost. It would have been the first time in my life and i know lots of people that can vouch for that. I learned the streets of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs b/c i can't stand traffic and i'll turned down street after street trying to find a way around it (and now with my trusty GPS system, i no longer get lost!). But thankfully, that didn't last long. The "i'm going to make a spot and you'd better let me in b/c i have my signal on and even though you can't tell b/c its broken its on so i'm coming in" driver you all know and love woke up and i got home in 35 mins. I rock.
