Zzzz...

My only goal for this weekend was to do a single 40+ mile route. I managed to do much else, including a 6.6 mile route.... which was only so short due to a flat tire. I managed to ride the bike home, though a new leak surfaced on the way. (Actually there were two flats. the first flat was two holes, and large ones; the second slow leak was also two holes, though tiny. I believe these were all caused by creases when installing the tube. I will not make that mistake again)
I also managed to get emotional at a wedding reception, move a dresser, and watch the men's final at Wimbledon. It was EPIC!

Now, listening to Bocelli and Brightman, I retire.

Holiday Cello clips, as promised

Up on the Rooftop


Bach's Minuet #3, again. With 2 major mistakes, it's still better than before.


Holiday Medley. The middle two songs: "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen" and "Oh Come, All Ye Faithful" I played by ear

Second Half

Today I did 64 techniques,
125 pushups and 100 crunches.

I listened to Yo Yo Ma - Inspired by Bach the whole time.
Now I'll shower, record some music on the cello, and volunteer for my favorite political candidate.

  • 10 one-armed (each arm)

Then I jogged a mile (7:30) walked around a bit, then jogged another 14:20. I got bored of my normal route so I don't know how far I jogged, but it was about 3 miles.

Totals:
  • 100 squats
  • 200 crunches
  • 200 pushups

I failed to work out Friday and Saturday.
