when you gonna ring it?
hit the bike for 1.5hrs last night and i felt remarkably good. considering the volumes i've been pushing lately, that is something. i think it may be due to the weather, it was a glorious evening and it was nice just to be out.
i made dinner (gasp) last night and it actually tasted pretty good. this is one of my things i'm going to try to do more of...but i've been saying that since robin and i got married (or maybe even before that).
this spring i had tried for a powerbar sponsorship....i didn't get it (but they sent me a box of powerbars just for trying). but i did get the opportunity to participate in a market research study for some new flavors. it was pretty painless and even kind of fun. we got a powerbar in the mail in an unmarked foil wrapper and we had to taste it and assess its attributes. whatever, we did that a few months ago. i thought i had remembered something about an rei gift card as reimbursment for my time but didn't put too much thought towards it. well, yesterday i got a $20 gift card in the mail. needless to say, i'm a big powerbar fan. and they've come a long way since my sophomore year of high school when i first started choking them down. i distinctly remember my first time trying one...on the bus going to a xc meet. it was chocolate with some sort of crunchy pod things embedded in the bar. it tasted like a shingle. now, well, it tastes like a tasty shingle. but i like the texture of powerbars a lot more than the granola-esque texture of the cliff bar.
