I promise I’m not going to do this every day. Frankly, no one wants to read repeated blog entries about just how little I can do every day.\u00a0 But today was exciting – I took my bike out for a “real” ride (i.e., not going in a circle around the park).\u00a0 The plan was to go down to Madison Square, or Union Square, and maybe get a shake at the shake shack.\u00a0 Anyway, I got going down the Hudson River Greenway, and before I\u00a0 even realized it, I was all the way downtown at ground zero.\u00a0 So I tooled around Battery Park for a little while, took some pictures, drank lots of water (it was really warm out), and then got back on my bike and rode all the way home.\u00a0 it was a 13-14 mile round trip, and I was gross and sweaty and desperate to get in my shower at the end, but not “tired”.\u00a0 In fact, my legs didn’t hurt at all. I actually thought at the time that, but for the oppressive heat and humidity, I could have kept going.<\/p>\n

This is a really big change from a year ago, when i took my bike to the park and could barely go 3 miles without exhausting myself.\u00a0 That was the day I decided to join the gym.<\/p>\n

Plans for the rest of the week?\u00a0 More bike rides, although tomorrow is a personal training day, so I probably won’t be biking around the island.\u00a0 All you can eat sushi tomorrow night with my dad and brother (have I mentioned that it’s kind of weird to have my brother actually living in the city again?\u00a0 good, but weird.\u00a0 I was so used to our regularly scheduled Friday afternoon IM sessions with him on the other side of the world).\u00a0 Tentative dinner plans with a friend from college who I haven’t seen in about 13 years, thanks to Facebook (and yes, I’m totally addicted now).<\/p>\n

As far as Friday, I’m currently debating whether to attempt to go get a 3G iphone.\u00a0 I certainly didn’t plan my vacation around the iphone release, but since I’m definitely planning on getting one, it does seem kind of stupid to NOT get one while I’ve got plenty of time to wait on line.\u00a0 Although I’m definitely not going to be one of those people who is already waiting on line<\/a>…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
