about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

The ride in permalink

I rode to work this morning! Wuhoo! So much fun!

It's cloudy and chilly and just a wonderful bike riding morning. I followed someone up the first hill, and I could have passed her. Yes! It's like a dream. And this, on my little pink bike. Who knew?

I've been taking the Eastside Esplanade in lately, because it has a little bit more in the way of ups and downs, and I really could use some work on the ups. I was very pleased with myself. I was tired by the time I got to the Hawthorne Bridge, but I kept a good tempo.

I got very lucky and the eco-exterminators are coming to the house today, so I'll be heading back there soon.

Eco-ecterminators? Neato! I've never heard of such a thing. I've gotten mouse traps that don't kill the mice, just trap them, but I've never heard of eco-extermination. "Fake it till you make it" might just have to be my motto. Thank you.
