What I did yesterday

Route Elevation Graph of my bike ride yesterday
Total elevation gain/loss: 779.0 feet
I don't mean to boast here. (But I will) Yesterday I rode my bike from my house up to NCAR. This is a graph of the elevation that I climbed. I used to ride this on a daily basis. But I haven't ridden it in a long time, (years) I considered turning back several times, and I went about 4 miles per hour on the climb. But when I got to the top I felt like a million bucks! I let out a primal yell! On the way back down the hill I maxed out at 30 MPH. Not that impressive to some people that I know, but I still feel good about it.
I then went to a party at my friends house. A big pre Thanksgiving pot luck. Did I eat a lot? You bet! Tim watched the kids, so I got to have a night out on my own. I ate my fill and whiled away the rest of the evening hula hooping with my girl friends to some good music. How fun is hula hooping?? FUN! http://www.hoopnotica.com/ Check it out! (I guess that I can add pink fuzzy leg warmers to my Christmas list too!) Make your own hoop for cheep http://www.jasonunbound.com/hoops.html One thing that I noticed is that all of the girls who were good at hooping had slender waists. So I think that I might give this a try. I managed to keep the hoop up around my waist, but I couldn't move it to my upper body. But I plan on learning and getting a trim tummy in the process.
Also, speaking of good music, Radio Head has a new album coming out soon called Rainbow. You can only get it on their website.
