On this, the day New Amsterdam was surrendered to the British in 1664, I am surprisingly wound free.
Yup. I fell off my bike again. It was actually two days ago. I did a total somersault on my bike. Lucky I was on a grassy part at the time. Apart from some grass stains I couldn't believe how unscathed I came out of it. I think I'm getting good at making potentially catastrophic falls look graceful. Key is to smile when you get up. When I fell of shiny bike a while ago my adrenaline took off and I felt funny and really shaky, then I was soooo tired later. This time though it was nothing so exciting, though it probably looked more exciting than the shiny bike incident. I wasn't even going to write about it, except that today I took a header down some stairs at school (this time I wasn't riding a bike), and again came out generally unscathed, which I thought was strange because it was on concrete and I just had a t-shirt on. Well, I was wearing pants too.... and shoes.

Golden Calf

Ouch, my calves kill. It's because I ran a half-marathon on Sunday. I suppose I did it for the T-shirt. I might have collected pledges for the charity, but I wasn't sure if I was going to chicken out at the last minute. But I didn't, and it was fun. It was a little disconcerting to try to keep the pace of a sixty year old woman I was chasing the whole race. There seems to be some sort of sense of accomplishment that is outweighing that feeling though.

It's rediculous how fast that dude finished.
