back in the groove 
Yesterday, I hit 2000 miles on the scooter. This happened when I was scooting to the dentist. Exciting stuff.
I scooted to pilates last night as well. Everything is better if it involves two wheels.
Pilates was kinda nuts. We used an exercise ball which seemed to work well for about 2/3 of the class and not at all for the other third. I have no balance, I know that already. In the hijinx that ensued, someone farted, which caused the instructor to talk for about 10 minutes about how she farts in almost every class. Yikes, didn't need to know that.
Even in spite of not being able to control my exercise ball, it was a real workout. We ended with arms, and it was the toughest arm workout I think we've ever had. My arms are feeling it today, oh yeah.
This morning, I rode Sweetie's bike into the shop. So I had a bit of a longer ride, and a different route that involved dodging giant trucks, other bicyclists, and parked cars. It was a little too exciting (you know), but still kinda fun in that, my adrenaline is surging 110%, way.
His bike is going to be outfitted in a collection of basic black gear: fenders, back rack, and front basket. It'll match the flat black of the bike. He'll like that. I'm so excited about the thought of it being commute ready. I pick it up tonight.
I went to the scooterists' lunch today, and while the interaction was fun, the best part was walking out of the restaurant and seeing scooter advertisements. Pictures will follow tomorrow. It was cool, and it caused all of us to say in unison, I'm in the wrong job.
Hopefully I'm going on a scooter ride tonight, too.
In my mania today, I've signed up for a sewing class (which starts tomorrow—yikes, no Thursday pilates for a couple weeks), and for a 5k on Sunday. The last couple weeks, I've been so busy that I've had to choose between events. Do I go to the super bowl party, or go on one of these two rides?? This weekend, I had to choose between the 5K and the Worst Ride of the Year, a fundraiser for the Community Cycling Center. It's hard for me to believe that bike rides are looking like so much fun. It's curious.
