Back Into It

Posted by Moose  Published in Biking, Body, Exercise, Food, Government, Running, Stress, Swimming, Work

Training, that is. Ran and swam yesterday, biked this morning, running a long run tomorrow. Definitely feeling it tonight; almost didn’t do laundry as planned, but managed to get off my butt and get it done (yay for clean sheets). It’s a good kind of tired though – good, honest physical exhaustion from exercise.
Work’s [...]

Tapes

Posted by Moose  Published in Body Electric, Mood, Motivation, Music

This particular song by Alanis came on in the car tonight, and it ended up meaning a lot more than on previous listens:
“I am someone easy to leave”
“Even easier to forget”
A voice, if inaccurate
Again: “I’m the one they all run from”
Diatribes of clouded sun
Someone help me find the pause button
All these tapes in my head [...]

Recovering/Work

Posted by Moose  Published in Coffee, Food, Friends, Government, Health, Home, Work

Cold’s still here, but better. Not feeling the need for quite so much sudafed to keep the sinuses in check today, more like just the normal allergies dosage. Let myself sleep in, and now I’m sipping coffee from my SF Zoo mug this morning and missing my boys out in San Francisco. And as much [...]

Down a Bit

Posted by Moose  Published in Health

I love when the body decides it’s time to slow down. Took today off from work to recuperate from a head cold that’s currently driving me nuts. The down time did give me time to finish up the last sock and start a new pair (I’ll take pictures later), and get the laundry done (clean [...]

Notes on the New Bike

Posted by Moose  Published in Biking, Commuting, Exercise, Friends, Geek

First, I’m loving not having to shift gears. You just get on and start pedaling – no worrying about whether you left it in the right gear, whether it’ll be too loose or too tight to get going, you just go. If there’s a hill, it’s harder to pedal, if it’s downhill, it’s easier. Simple. [...]

Reintegrating

Posted by Moose  Published in Biking, Club, Commuting, Dating, Diet, Exercise, Food, Habits, Knitting, Leisure, Mood, Motivation, Shopping, Sleep, Stuff, Travel, Triathlon, Work

For some reason the reintegration back into real life has been a bit difficult. There was the inevitable backup of work at the BGA (“vacation is its own punishment”), breaking things off with someone I’d been dating, adjustment back to east coast time (which means I have to try and fight my normal nature to [...]

Shiny

Posted by Moose  Published in Stuff

Bought myself a new shiny while out in SF.

Seems to be becoming a habit, commemorating a body electric event with jewelry. A habit I kinda like.

Dear Love, 2009

Posted by Moose  Published in Body, Exercise, Health, Leisure, Massage, Mood, Motivation, Queer

I still have a lot of stuff to process from this past two weeks. Dear Love of Comrades (DLOC) was simply amazing, and precisely what I was needing. It revealed a lot of things to me which I needed to see and experience to help clarify where I am in my life and where I [...]
