absolutely amazing day
Today was another beautiful one. Even more beautiful than the last. I started it with a five dollar pancake breakfast that my cousin's school was hosting (the boy serving the pancakes just picked them up by hand, placed them on the spatula and flopped them on your plate unapologetically - absolutely adorable).

what a day!
It's a beautiful, sunny day in California! Finally! I went on another bike ride with my dad. He still kicked my butt even though he got a flat half a mile from home and had to walk it! I did learn that Drops of Jupiter by Train is definitely the best soundtrack for any activity, jus' sayin'.

Patricia Starr on Pedaling Over the Rockies and Changing Your Life in Your 60s
Patricia Starr, age 71, was Ms. Senior California in 2006 and Ms. Senior Nebraska in 2008, and in 2005 she pedaled across America wearing short short and pantyhose to raise money for music scholarships at her local college. Her new book, Angel On My Handlebars, chronicles her ride.
Before I started, I’d never ridden more than 62 miles in a day. I’ve been walking two miles a day for about 30 years, so I had strength from that, but everyone thought I was absolutely nuts. I was 67 at the time, so people were just laughing at me. Once I got on the road and they saw what was actually happening, though, they though it was wonderful. Some days it was 120 miles. That is so far. I live in Santa Barbara, and it’s like from Santa Barbara to Disneyland.

Mary Loves Steel Cut Oats and Counts Walking to the Bar as a Workout
Every day, we give you a snapshot of a fellow striver in fitness. We ask personal questions, he or she boldly answer. Today's snapshot: Mary, aka gleam.
- What would you do (fitness wise) if you had all the time/ability in the world? I'd like to bike through the wine regions in France. Taking my time, of course, to stop and do some tasting.
- What are you just never going to try? Paying for a diet, whether it is to be a member, for custom meals, pills or powders, I believe I can eat healthy without paying extra.

it's great to get lost
I went to Otto's class at yogaworks, and I got my ass kicked as usual. It was great though, it always is :)
