New bike - Trek 2100 - on its way!
After a lot of searching, I settled on a new road bike and ordered it yesterday. It's a 20-speed (2x10), racing-style road bike. I've also started to accessorize, with new cycling-specific shoes, a helmet, and a fancy cycling computer (speedometer+cadence). It's supposed to arrive on around the 19th. I'm looking forward to some good bike rides!

Best 12 mile outdoor run ever yesterday
I went to Apex Community Park and ran 12.05 miles in 2:07, which is my best performance over that distance, including splits of my half-marathon races! Glad to have a really satisfying run for once!

I'm a sinker!
At least, according to my swimming instructor. The sinking problem is magnified every time she makes me do a drill, although I still sink when doing a regular freestyle stroke. At least I learned to use my shoulders a bit last night, but now they are sore this morning! Six lessons to go... how much more can I learn? Still lots of room for improvement!

First swimming lesson in 20 years
I went swimming for the first time in a long time last night. My strokes were OK but terribly inefficient. I was breathing a lot hard than I thought I would be after each lap. Plenty of room for improvement, but I think I'll do well by the time my lessons are done at the end of March.

Would your boss do this?
A great Dilbert cartoon that puts a common phrase into imagery!

20 mile run
It seemed like it lasted forever, and that's probably because it almost did (4 hours, 9 minutes)! Hopefully the last long run of the season that I have to do on the treadmill. I think the temperatures will be warm enough for morning long runs in March -- we'll have to see. I did get to enjoy Rocky III, four episodes of Family Guy, and one episode of the Sarah Silverman show :-)

A great web comic from XKCD
How big a nerd to you have to be to laugh at this?

Did you know?
"99.91 percent of ingredients in all hair shampoo sold in the US is the same, despite the over 1000 percent price difference between the least expensive and most expensive brand tested."

Scout's back to normal
The swelling went down for good on Friday. She spent a lot of time at the dog park this weekend running around without a care in the world. We're glad to have our labrador back!
