I'm falling apart

So I headed out today to go for a ride. I was planning on riding to A&B to get some lube and other stuff. So I make a right on CC from waterford and get hit by gail force winds. Then my right knee started hurting to the point where I couldn't shake it off, and ended up aborting the mission. Overuse do I need a break? It has been bothering me on the last few rides nothing unbearable though, until today. I did lower my handlebars 1cm and raise my saddle 1cm about a week ago so I went ahead and changed it back to the old position. At least I gotta good ride in yesterday with Mertz. Hell of a guy, wish there were more cyclists/people like Mertz. Here is a pic from yesterday me givin some sheep the stink eye. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I've lost the Christmas spirit.

So I went to the Martin Center to day for an x-ray of my colon. As I did research the procedure (barium enima) online I found that they basically shove a tube into the rectum and disperse barium fluid and then blow up a ballon so the barium stays in, so they can take pictures. So I get there and they had me drink the barium so I asked the nurse if they were going to be putting this liquid anywhere else and she said no. I was releived and assumed that they must just do the same test a different way. Turns out they were taking pictures of my upper gi tract instead of my lower which I had scheduled for Monday. Wouldn't be such a big deal except for yesterday I had to do a bowel cleansing which all I could eat was chicken broth, flavored jello(no red), soda(which gave me most of my calories), and black coffee. It was horrible I think I had about 300 to 400 calories all day yesterday, also going to the restroom every five minutes. So basically I did all that for no reason and probably have to do it again Sunday, unless they found out whats causing my stomach problems from the procedure today. Which my doctors office has but wont give to me cause he is out of town till the 2nd and if I wait to do the barium enima after Monday I will have to pay my insurance deductable. I wish my pain would just freakin go away looking forward to riding again. Sorry for bitchin just fed up. Good Day

Surfing Find

Trek to Astana

Is that SRAM red group on a TREK?

Finals are Over

I finished my last final today. My grades are Networking B, Computer Hardware B, English 101 A, and Math NP(Not Passed I'm horrible at math). Im happy with my grades especially for not being in school for about 7 years. Going to Arkansas this Saturday to visit my wifes family as long as I'm feeling better it's a 3 1/2 hour drive, so I don want to feel sick while I'm there. One month off of school looking forward to it

Two Ralphs One Trainer.

I puked twice yesterday morning. Then I rode my trainer yesterday evening. I saw Joey on the Veterans Cemetary hill climb today and he showed me how real bike riders go up hill. I haven't puked in about 8 years the last time I puked I was drunk on beer and wine while I was with my furture wife. Isn't it beer before liquor never been sicker. Liquor before beer your in the clear. Woops. Glad I don't drink anymore.

Jip Jow

So since Saturday my right foot has been hurting. I actually ran three miles on it Monday night and it felt good while I was running, but walking made it hurt. So I have decided to go see the doctor today. I know it's not the bone so I'm thinking it is a tendon or some kinda vein or some shiznat. When I lift my toes up with my foot flat on the ground I can tell something is not right, it's like something in the bottom of my foot moves. But actually today it doesn't feel as bad. I guess I need to know if I should stay off of it or try to work it out. My presentation in my Networking class went pretty well I got an 87 out of 100%. I was told that I read from my powerpoint a little to much but overall I'm happy with my grade. Now I just have to get through finals. Today I started my computer build in my computer hardware class. Took everything out and now it is just an empty shell. Actually I put the motherboard, power supply, cd-rom drive, and dvd-rom drive back in. So hopefully when I get everything put back in it will boot up with no errors otherwise I get points taken off. To DAD Semper Fidelis To Joey Defensor Fortis

Case of the Monday's

So me and the wife went to the Ozark high school track to run. I wanted to do 5 miles the furthest I have ever ran would be 3 miles. I accomplished my goal and felt great. I didn't go to fast coming in at 45 minutes fast enough for me though as I haven't ran in a few months. The wife did about 2 miles and she was there for moral support. After that we went home and put up the Christmas lights outside. Then for some reason my right ankle starting feeling like it was sprained or something, and could hardly walk on it today. Put some ice and then heat on it for a while and it is feeling better I guess my body isnt used to running that far especially outside I usually only run on the treadmill. So that was my weekend oh and I forgot to mention the studying for my computer hardware test tommorow and prep for my presentation that I have to give Tuesday for my Networking class. Then finals are coming up soon and I start my diet tommorow as well. Im actually looking forward to my diet as I need to detox all this crap out of me.



That's right North Americas WAN (Wide Area Network) is the basis of my presentation. Deal With it. To my budd Joey Defensor Fortis

Down With the Sickness

Went to the doctor yesterday to find out I have a sinus infection. He put me on some antibiotics and said I should be feeling better by thursday. I hope so cause I'm looking forward to some turkey and pie. Although this will be the last week of eating crappy food. Because starting next week I will be on a diet of 1500 calories a day. I need to drop about 10 lbs to help with my climbing. First of all though I need to get back on the bike because I havent been on it since sunday so Im thinking of getting on the trainer tonight. I don't want to push it though and end up feeling worse. Does anybody have any good diet plans that they have done in the past or are doing now? I want to lose my weight slowly and the right way. Have a good Turkey day. Joey your my BITCH!

Windy Condish

I'm so sick of the wind. I went south today so I would have a tailwind coming back. I ventured out to the roads that were traveled sunday for some new/old scenery I thought maybe I could remember some of the route from then. I made it to Highway W and turned on three different roads that were dead ends. Finally turned left onto some road Old...p something I cant remember the second part. But it took me back to selmore road kinda pissed me off cause I wanted to go into Sparta and head back to Ozark through 125. Oh well shit happens I just hope this wind dies down it's killin me at least it's making me stronger though. I guess it could be snowing though which I hear may happen around turkey day.
Again where the hell is Joey?

Pain.

Me, Jason, Jason Ward, and Mike Mertz on our ride Sunday. The last 5 miles my legs gave out and I started cramping so bad I couldnt even get out of the saddle. Reminded me of my first Dogwood ride. Though the cramps went away on Cherry street back to Hickory. How does that happen? I guess I need to put some more miles in just not enough time with school and work. I wasnt even aware that Mike was taking a picture very sneaky.(I stole the pic from his blog) It was a good time and I hope to join them more often on rides. Where the heck is Joey?

Hey Blogger

So this is what it's all about blogging the night away. I decided to start a blog because I'm tired of doing homework and wanted to start something new. It's weird that I even have enough energy to even be up right now because of the ride on went on today. About 65 miles with a headwind for about forty of those miles. Oh well it was a good time riding with Jason Ward, Mike Mertz, and another Jason I met today cool guy though. Anyways I love my wife very much and check back often for more useless stupid shiznat.

Union Hill Climb

Me climbing Union Hill first time using a camera and riding at the same time excuse the quality. You know it
