So I barely got up this morning in time to bike out. Actually, I woke up with the strong temptation to just take the bus… but I hopped on my bike and had a really smooth ride into work. I found a brand new route that cuts down 2 kms from my trip, and I had a bit more power in my legs so I averaged a better speed. Not only that, but my new route let’s me avoid cycling on the narrow streets of Ottawa completely so I’m happy. Though the old men still whizzed by me, I made it into work in almost exactly an hour (trust me, the old folk know how to cycle).

Not only did I make it in by bike, I managed to pack a lunch and snacks today. I’ve been pretty bad for eating out during lunch, so this is huge for me. And, I brought enough snacks to ensure that I wouldn’t go through the pain of yesterday afternoon when I had no sugar in my blood while making the long bike home.

Though in all my preparation I ended up getting a ride from Renata back to Barrhaven. She invited me, Frank, and Mel over for supper as she was leaving on holidays and she wanted us to clear out her steaks. We had to get their early so biking was out of the option… but I wanted to, honest. Anyways, we had a protein feast with absolutely delicious slabs of steak, BBQ’ed drumsticks, and fresh out of the oven peanut butter cookies. It was tasty.

I think that has really ushered in the summer for me, having some nice steaks on the barbie. It’s officially summer for me now :-p

Ash and I are doing a double date thing tomorrow with another couple, and that might involve more steak goodness. I need the protein for all this cycling… right?
