So I like sports. Not in the "I watch Sportscenter every night and can tell you the batting average of the top ten hitters in both leagues right now" sort of way but I do enjoy the thrill of competition and watching people excel in their chosen field. I guess this translates to everything though, I can appreciate a good band, a solid theatre performance, well designed crafts and such. Ya' know, the good stuff. Point being, it was a fun sports weekend for me.
For those who don't know, a fellow Texan and bike racer won his fifth Tour de France last weekend. This is not just any bike race either. These guys go appx. 2000 miles in about 25 days through the hills, valleys and high mountain ranges of France. Anyone who wins this race once is special. Anyone who wins it five times is great. This guy and one other person have won it five times in a row, that makes them legendary. Plus, this was the centennial for the bike race so it was extra special. This race is one of those things I hope to witness someday.
Also, I managed to feel really good about my excercise routine this weekend. I recently began to get back into the whole fitness thing. Mainly because I am tired of being the skilled but out of shape guy on my sports teams. Well, I was out doing my weekly, long bicycle ride and I met up with this guy about midway through. We paced each other pretty well for about 10 miles and I was able to keep up as well as pace him. There is just something so very satisfying about looking down at your spedometer, seeing that you are going 20 MPH and realizing that your legs are doing that all by themselves! I went a total of 30 miles that day.
Alright, that is about it I suppose. I am going to Salt Lake soon to see some friends and play some Ultimate, I'll let y'all know how that trip goes when I get back.

YAY for New Pictures!

The job. I didn't get the position, which makes me happy because now I have to hold out. The job market sucks in Montana, but I don't want to be in a position where I'm taken advantage of like I am right now. Sp we'll see.
Everything is getting better though. I'm not half as tired nor am I sad. Yay!
