Seen While Out on the Bike

I love running into weird stuff while out on the bike and being able to snap a photo.

My next PDA is definitely going to have a higher resolution camera on it (I've got my eye on the Palm Pre when my current contract expires next January)

Last Tuesday, I got in 25 miles after work. This photo of a Zebra however was the second most unusual thing I saw on this ride. The most unusual thing I saw was over before I could get my phone in camera mode, so you'll just have to take my word for it.

Lets just say it was a donkey show, but the natural kind, not of the Tijuana variety. It was both fascinating and gross, but the details aren't fit for much more than a frat house, so you'll have to use your imagination.

Rough Training Weekend

Well, I knew hopping a flight to spend a long 3 day weekend at the beach in South Carolina wasn't conducive to hitting all of my planned workouts this weekend. There would be no masters swim, and running in that swamp is torture.

Sure enough, I didn't really make the most of a tough situation, and fell short of the weekly volume goal.

I managed to get in a 3 hour ride this evening followed by a 25 minute transition run. I weighed myself before and after and lost 5 lbs durng the session despite downing 5.25 20oz bottles of fluid.

Next week is a big week. Hopefully work will cooperate. It is shaping up to be a challenge.

However, you had better be ready to stick to it for a while. These things don't start in a matter of seconds. You have to work at.

Wednesday's Storm

You may have heard that my city, Flower Mound was battered and bruised by a massively intense storm on Wednesday evening (around 6:30pm) again at 1am and 5:30am on Thursday morning. Power lines, trees, fences, chimneys, roofs all came down. We persoanlly had pretty severe roof damage.

This couple videod the action while in their car. I luckily left work a tad early that day and got home about 10 minutes before this started, but many of my colleagues had drives home that were just like this.

This is along 1171 a bit east of where I live, but the storm was moving west to east so this had just passed over my house.

When I first heard the tornado sirens, I looked out of one of my windows, and the clouds were low and circling just like the footage at the beginning of this clip.

Here is a snap shot of the radar around that time.
