It's 19C here. In Poland... WTF... Not that I'm complaining but WTF.

On the other hand I'm learning how to do backflips and frontflips (sans bike) on flat ground (ok air track). Jesus it takes a ton of energy.

Mornin!

With any luck, my FIL and I will finish out our bedroom today. That means I'll be able to focus a bit more on job searching. Kinda need to get back into it at this point, it's been 1.5 years...

No snow here yet. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. That stuff can fuck right off.

Can't wait for Saturday, getting together with a buddy to go scope out a ridge for a new trail. Should be nice.

Checked the weather... that settles it, I will NOT be running this morning.
I got ya covered!! 7 miles this morning. I also did 7 last night while racing against the rumbling volcano in my intestines. I won that race....barely. Then I spent all night feeling like hell. So after sleeping only four hours Tuesday night, last night's sleep was only marginally better.

I aim to average 10 miles per day. I'm about 200 miles behind schedule :(

DH resort miles would knock a few off that, but still way behind.

We’re wearing puffy jackets inside our house. We made coffee with a JetBoil. The vet across the street is surrounded by fire trucks and has reported “light smoke”. I’ll be lucky to hit 1200 miles this year, but those were some quality, on-dirt, outside miles. All of them.

Morning Monkeys.

Motivation is at an all time low right now. Doing online classes, filling out online job apps, fielding calls from recruiters all over the place. Very frustrating and disappointing all at the same time. I was laughing with an ex-coworker about just getting a job with Pinkerton sitting at a desk in an office building with no real responsibility but lots of fake power. Maybe a greater at Walmart. After interviewing with Amazon, I sort of feel dirty.

Well. No snow. I think it's supposed to be 90* today, so there's that. Been staying consistent with the 4:30 gym sessions now for almost two months, plus I've just been eating better and avoiding garbage. Down 25lbs and dropped about 2" off my waist. It's nice to not feel like shit all the time. Plus I've been feeling really good on the bike.

low motivation is the name of the game!

I did make it to the final round of "who's getting a new job". Unfortunately, they said there's a short list of two candidates that I'm on. Sounds kind of fucky to ask for salary requirements from two people, but hey that's HR.

I also have a vasectomy this afternoon, so that's a big day.
