Morning monkeys!

Currently 79*, and is predicted to 98* today. BigT says it is just getting comfortable.

Be jealous of me sitting in my office all day today. Though in reality, I'd rather be anywhere but there.

Be safe out there.

Good morning.
Day two of back pain, and I've determined its because I sit on my ass entirely too much every day.
Hopefully it pass and I can ride this afternoon, and I have to get back into an exercise routine other than cycling. I'm getting too old to coast by on caffeine and Advil.

Ordered parts to rebuild my DHR pivots, due in Friday in time to ride all weekend.

We've discussed this before. Ween from he caffine over a couple of weeks. Get your roadie setup on a trainer and spin in front of the tv, get a foam roller to work you IT band, and start working your core and stretching. 30 min per day should be enough to start seeing almost immediate results.

Nick, take your wallet out of your pocket whenever you're sitting at your desk/driving etc.
That did more for my back issues and any amount of stretching etc.

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
Afternoon. I am officially the mother of a First Grader! Syd was excited that she got the teacher she wanted and her report card was perfect so we're all happy here, despite the 95+ degree heat. Alex is doing well and nursing a LOT so hopefully we'll find out that she is growing well on Monday. I can't believe she's going to be a month old tomorrow. Talked to the Dr. office yesterday -- they were calling to check up on my health and well-being and recommend that I start some light physical activity. I didn't mention that I have been mountain biking once or twice a week...that's "light" physical activity right :D

I'm hoping to get a ride in tomorrow and on Sunday with Splat & JBP....gotta set the alarm and pump, pump, pump so I have enough food for baby Alex!!! I'm thinking a nice ice cold beer will help me with that :cheers:

I blew out a disc that took forever to heal. Between changing my chair and removing my wallet, my back got 100% better. The seat in my car was a huge help. If only I could make an office chair using the same seat...

A guy at my place does that too. Even made our machine shop make him a special computer stand to raise his monitor/keyboard. Fvcking goon.
The funny thing is that standing at work is really healthy even if it is strange. Not to mention some peeps claim it might be the differance between getting fat because of work and staying reasonably slim.
