Training Log Archive: Becks

Cycled in but only made it halfway home before something slipped in my front brake again and I was cycling against the brake pads. I was very tired anyway so Rob picked me up. Think I have now fixed the issue after a bit of time spent in the garage with youtube, though my brake cable is a bit flattened and I think it might be pulling free. Probably needs replacing. They probably should have done that on my "total bike service."

I like fixing things.

An excellent article from a newspaper local to my parents:

C • Those 12

Alex and I had a gossip orienteer around the red at Huntington. It was a glorious day and the company was even more glorious. Good times.

My legs hurt climbing up the stairs at work afterwards, to find that my mice were not yet ready and I could have had that coffee after all :)

C • coffee 2

RED - Splits

Legged it into work to get there in time for lab meeting. Every time I thought "I can't keep this up for much longer," I did, so that was nice. Lovely weather.

Isn't it Friday yet? I am ready to drink wine with acjospe.

Clem stare-y eyes!

The cats formerly known as Devil Cats make it very tough to leave the house these days. They are insanely cute and nice to me. I currently have Rosie on my lap and Clem guarding my right flank. Both purring like crazy. They're still not quite sure of Rob, but he's getting there.

I'm sure the arrival of acjospe on Friday will result in some of their former devilry!

C • you must be 5

Facing a day of hell today and so made the most of the sunshine and warmth by running into my two hour "effective teaching" class. Today it was not very effective. Then the mouse babies were ready so I prepped neurons in our tissue culture room, which is happily over 30oC again as they switched on the heating a couple of days early. That took nearly three hours. Then a two hour meeting, then rush through my IP, set the Western going, sprint across town to Bentara for George's lab leaving do (actual sprint in trainers plus dress win), then back to the lab for another three hours or so. Joy! Rob won't let me watch the Walking Dead to fill the transfer time in case I don't sleep tonight. He's probably right to do so.

If only people would e mail me about what training they want to do this weekend, then I could use the time to plan that. Hint hint? Anyone?

Into work only. The bike was so horribly squeaky and my mouse pregnancy timing was off, so I took the time I suddenly had free this afternoon to drop my bike back at Zane's for a free tune up. It'll be back in a couple of days.
