I found this photo of carbon fiber brake calipers (my source is a secret) made by a German company called Ax. To think there is something lighter than Campy Record! Soooo pretty.

Like any typical Birminghamian, I prefer waiting to the last minute to commit to anything. But I think I want to run in the Vulcan 10K on Saturday. That means I will sign up a couple of days before the race.

Yesterday I did a five mile fartlek run and it wore me out. But this is supposedly how I'm going to be a faster runner. My goal for Saturday's race is < 50 minutes, which equates to an 8 minute pace per mile. Most of the course is flat, except for the hill going up Clairmont/Highland Ave by the Presbyterian church. At least it appears that way. Last year my turkey trot 10K pace was 8:17 per mile and I'd hope that this year, with more experience especially with negative splits, that I can at least beat that time.

I'm starting to hurt from running. I've had problems with tendonitis in the IT band over the past few years, and have to do maintenance activities to keep it from coming back. Stretching, cold water post-run baths, ice where the IT band meets the knee, custom orthotics, and something I call The Tennis Ball Torture. This entails laying on the floor and putting my weight on a tennis ball in the hip area where the IT band meets the hip. This is a very sore area and thus pressure is quite painful, but it significantly reduces the soreness in the area. During the torture sessions, my dog stares at me because she thinks I have stolen her tennis ball.

Birmingham was rated sixth most dangerous city in the US for its high crime rate. I'd wager a bet that the crime rate has something to do with the fact that the city council has police officer salaries practically at poverty level. Assuming that one of Birmingham's finest works 2080 hours per year, they're getting paid around $13.50 an hour. Considering that retail jobs pay between (on average) $8 to $10 per hour, a police officer isn't getting much of a risk premium.

That's sad.

This year's Halloween weekend has been a lot of fun. Friday night I dressed up as the pregnant cheerleader from my alma mater, which was well-received with a lot of laughs and "oh my gawd that is hilarious" and "I remember that outfit when I went to V3stav1a!" from random people at the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The RHPS party was a blast; my friend made prop bags for everyone in the group so we participated in the movie. And the Alabama Theatre looks cool covered in toilet paper. It is one of my favorite places in Birmingham.

I suppose my pregnant belly wasn't entirely plausible since the bartender sold me beer.

You can judge for yourself. Sorry, I had to block out the other peeps because I don't want to post photos of anyone without their permission.

Ah, innocence lost.

Then I woke up at 0530 Saturday morning to help with the Halloween century. We manned a rest stop then swept the ride (which means we got to ride!) My new Cannondale Morphis jacket performed well; actually it was a bit too hot on climbs.

Last night I went to a costume party/pub crawl with the house harriers. I don't think they actually run (maybe a couple of miles every month or two). They have the 12-ounce bicep curls down pat, though.

Then today was Boo at the Zoo to see my nieces dressed up in their halloween regalia. Stinky little cute things.

In conclusion, this Halloweenie is cooked. I've had enough until next year.

I will wrap up this post with a short video of a bmx rider who didn't quite make his jump. OUCH.

My pro-level road bike just got even better.

I volunteered to man a rest stop at Saturday's century ride and we're going to try to ride both ways out to the stop instead of driving, so I thought I'd make the event more festive.

Awesome.

I have very few problems in my good life. The current conundrum is whether I should buy the Polar CS200 HRM, which is for cycling only, or the Polar CS300 HRM, which can be used for both cycling and running.

The CS200 has more cycling-related features, but the CS300 is a wristband so that I can take it running. However, I don't know if I really need an HRM while running. About the only thing I would use it for while running is to look at it and think, "HOLY CRAP. My HR is through the roof!"

I bought a couple of pairs of CW-X compression tights this summer on sale, and it finally became cool enough outside to try them out. Unfortunately, my recent weight loss has been retained and I would say that the women's smalls are no longer providing compression, but merely coverage. I may try wearing one pair over the other next time. However, the areas of fabric that cross the quads and stabilize the knee (see photos on website) do provide some extra warmth. I had a very pleasant 7 mile run yesterday. The bottom of my kneecaps were a little sore afterwards, though (strangely). Sigh. I wasn't planning on this. Most of the dress pants I wear to work are rather baggy, and I'm not sure if I should go out and buy new work clothes in fear that the weight loss is temporary. I can't say that I'm not trying to gain weight; candy jars are prolific at work, and I can't keep my paws out of them.

The benefit of this weight loss is that I have effectively lost about ten pounds on my bike; 7 lbs of body weight and 3 lbs of bike weight. That makes for an instant gain in strength.

In my fake trading account I sold Google short. But after making the trade (with a $25 per-trade commission times 2), I realized that Google's share price will have to fall at least $2 for me to at least make up the commission fees. This is yet another example in support of the efficient market hypothesis. In other words, all those stinkin' commissions you pay when trading frequently eat up the additional earnings you'd make compared to the buy-and-hold strategy.

On my fake $100K account I've made $3K in the last three weeks, only investing $60K. I'm going to work on investing the rest of it. (However, a 3% return in three weeks isn't bad at all, if my returns will hold.)

On my group's fake $10 million account, we've made $400K in three weeks' time, investing $9MM with the other $1MM in cash. Not a bad return, either.

The moral of the story is that you must have money to make money. So start saving.

Yesterday I did a 60-mile ride with my comrades; I forgot money and food and subsided on water and 20 ounces of gatorade for the ride. We didn't stop during the second half of the ride, anyhow. When I got back to the bike shop I wolfed down a Powerbar, barely chewing it. Then I ate a 12-inch BMT sub and a bag of chips from Subway. And for dinner, I scarfed down a big plate of spaghetti and garlic bread. I think I ate as much food yesterday as a college football player.

After my ride yesterday I ate lunch and hung out at the shop for a couple of hours to get started with helping them on some team/event-related stuff coming up. They have a fun job, goofing around, riding scooters and talking to people who stop by to hang out.

Here's a few running routes I like:

Moderately hilly 10 miler starting at English Village, going thru Southside and downtown, then back again. Some of this is part of the Mercedes Half Marathon.

Relatively flat out-and-back on the Shades Creek Greenway, through Brookwood Mall parking area and onto Jemison Trail until Overbrook Road. This is a good one for solo running; you don't have to worry much about traffic. However, I hate the surface on the Jemison Trail. 8.6 miles, and if I run it from home and back, that adds another 2.5 miles for a total of 11.1 miles. Ouch.

Vulcan Run 10K route - This run is really nice. It's similar to the first one I posted that's 10 miles long and also contains some streets used in the Mercedes Marathon. The only thing I don't like about it is running on the concrete sidewalks through Highland Avenue.

Trak Shak 5-miler. This is a good 5 mile run but every time I run it, someone in an SUV or pickup truck buzzes me. The problem is that stupid idiots are speeding through Homewood neighborhood streets as a cut-through to busier roads, and the Homewood police aren't doing a damn thing about it.

Hmm. That's about all I do so far but hopefully I will learn some new routes this winter. I like running from Southside to Downtown especially during weekend mornings because Downtown is dead and oftentimes you can run in the middle of the street (this is good because roads are banked, and you can get weird aches and pains from running slightly crooked). Most of the time I just use the Shades Creek Greenway with the addition of the S Lakeshore Drive (a dead end street), which is 1.5 miles out and back. People I run with say Greenway is boring but at least I am still alive to run it again.

Have a GREAT weekend!

My manager brought the super multi-mega-mix of halloween candy to the office today so guess what I pigged out on. And then, of course, I became hyper, so I blog-posted four times today (am I done yet?). My employer gave us a company-logoed gift today (to add to my gigantic collection of company-logoed items, which I had to rent a storage unit to keep). This time the gift is a very warm, fleece-lined man's jacket. I'm too small for men's clothing, and they so thoughtfully gave me a small, but it swallows me whole. So I put my hard hat (company logoed, of course) in the jacket and zipped it up, and paraded about the office announcing to everyone that I'm having a baby in a month.

Bored with that (but not done bouncing off the walls), I am wearing the hard hat at my desk for the rest of the day.

One of my more serious coworkers just walked by, glanced at me, and thought perhaps he should pretend like I'm normal.

Heh.

I like squeezing my two nieces' baby chub. I like it when my baby niece sucks on my shoulder when I'm holding her. I like it when I act goofy and they laugh at me. I like it when the baby coos. I like to laugh at the baby's pink cottage cheese butt. I think it's hilarious when my niece colors herself with blue marker (her mother does not). I like the peaceful tinkling music of the crib mobile. I like dressing the baby; it reminds me of my playing-with-dolls days in childhood. I like getting a birthday card from my niece that has her crayon scribbles all over it. I like how tiny my niece feels when I give her a hug; I want to hug her even harder but I can't because I'd smoosh her. I laugh my ass off when I tell my niece about pooping in the potty in hopes that she'll want to emulate me. I like making a mohawk out of the baby's fine, soft hair when she's getting a bath.

I especially like being able to hand them back to their parents when they cry or poop in their diapers.

But life in my family would be terribly boring without the munchkins there to make it fun and interesting.

Their "Aunt Beff" loves them very much.

I am excited about the speech I gave today because I did it well and people complimented me afterwards. I know this sounds silly and millions of people do public speaking all the time, but I always was afraid of getting up in front of people and thought it was some tremendous hurdle to overcome. It's all about confidence. Before being introduced I was excited about taking the podium and having a chance to make people laugh. I've never been excited to speak before; I've always been nervous! I feel like I have a mission to prove that not all speakers put people to sleep. Some folks I work with drone on and on about every minute detail - one thing people tend to forget with public speaking is to hit only the major points. Nobody is going to remember anything else.

Anyhow, one of my long-standing myths was destroyed today.

Leaps and bounds.

P.S. Before everyone thinks I'm getting a big head: I was also humbled today because I rode with five masters riders (I think most of them are in their late 40s) and they kicked my ass on their "slow" ride. They only had to stop and wait for me once. But while I was panting like a dog on our ride, they're all chatting on their cell phones, doing business, and I don't think the people on the other end of the calls had any idea that they were exercising at the same moment.

I used to think that having class from 4:30 pm to 9:45 pm was brutal, until Farmboy came around. He brings me dinner at 7 pm during my break; for 15 minutes I sit in his vehicle and chow down on a sandwich. Last night he brought me hot chocolate, too. Then he gets a hug (sometimes they are long since it's a Monday), and I sprint back to class right as the lecture is starting, full and happy.

In the olden days, I'd eat a granola bar or some almonds during my break, then go home starving to death at 10 pm, when it's too late to be eating a huge meal.

I have never been the recipient of this kind of sweetness before. And it rocks.

I'm on my second round of antibiotics since the bronchitis didn't completely go away the first time.

Neverthless, it hasn't affected my training track for the half-marathon in February. My speed is faster this year than last; I'm just starting to see evidence that multi-year training does make an athlete gradually stronger (over a period of several years).

Tomorrow I'm giving a brief speech to a department of around sixty people. I used to be terrified of public speaking, but that fear diminished when I gave an impromptu toast to my father at his retirement reception. I'm still a little nervous about tomorrow, but I should be fine. In some ways, I like having the chance to entertain people for a few minutes.

Gawd. 5:45 am is too early. It was still pitch black outside when I got up, but Peet's was there to help me out. (I'm not sponsored, heh heh.) And it was 40 degrees outside. I started my 60 mile ride at 7 am as part of the Kid One Century ride. We took it slowly, since it's now time to rest up and get ready for winter training season. Winter training involves building endurance with long, slow rides. This year, as opposed to last, I am following a more regimented program that targets some of my many weaknesses.

So in one week I went from baking in the sun on a Gulf Coast beach to freezing my booty off while wearing various layers of winter cycling clothes. It warmed up after a while, and the layers were peeled off as the temperature rose.

My bike did most of the work for me. I'm falling in love with my new bike. :) My old bike is ready to be put on the trainer, so that I don't put any wear on my new bike while training indoors.

Posted by megabeth at 03:11 PM | Comments (5)

I am so, so good.

The website I created, my Magnum Opus, is getting accolades at the association-wide YMCA conference.

The reason why I don't do this full time is because everyone who does seems to be obsessed with it. They go to geek meetings outside of work and spend all of their waking hours staring at computer screens and trying out new technologies. (Disclaimer: my exposure to web designers primarily lies in advertising agencies.) Also, there usually isn't such a position for someone who both designs and writes code; they want you to choose one and specialize. In terms of technology, I'm conservative; I stick with the tried and true instead of the cutting edge. I'm not in this business to prove to anyone else that my skillz are the best and that my code is perfect. I design well enough; I code well enough, and those two talents together are unusual. Don't need to outsource to a subcontractor to write the code, which is good for me because I make more money that way.

Shit's just all good right now. I have more energy than ten three-year olds combined.

A lot of cyclists like their coffee since they tend to get up very early to beat the heat. My internal clock is kinda messed up so I'm usually in a stupor until around 9 am. However, I have mastered the art of stupored (stuporous? stuporen?) cycling. One of my friends who works at a local shop suggested I start drinking coffee before rides. The suggestion finally registered in my head, and I made a conscious decision to increase my dependency/addition to caffeine. If you could pick something to be addicted to, this one's not so bad, right? I'd rather be hooked on caffeine than sugar.

I bought a french press for work and my coworker gave me some Starbucks Caffe Verona. Then Farmboy scoffed at my support of the corporate entity that is trying to put Lucy's (a local shop) out of business. Thus, Starbucks no more. (Though I would buy SBUX, but the gains have already been made from their 40,000 store growth plan.)

He ground up some beans for my press and I drank it this morning and it was very good. I'm certainly not a connoisseur, but the good stuff (aka "Kind Bean") from Peet's makes me want to drink a lot of coffee.

A buck-twenty is how much I weigh now; the last several years my weight has hovered around 126-128 lbs, so in the last couple of months I dropped quite a bit in relation to my total weight (around 5%). It wasn't intentional, but several circumstances probably instigated the drop. I can't say I look better or worse at a buck twenty, but DAMN, I feel good. This winter I am going to work on adding more lean muscle mass and by spring I should be a very efficient cycling machine.

Here is a little slide show of some photos I took at Santa Rosa beach this weekend. (Click for extended entry. Click photo for larger version.)

Looking east towards Seaside.

There were several damaged houses, presumably from Katrina a year ago. But who knows, maybe an earlier storm.

Every time I go to the beach, I take a photo of my feet facing the surf.

Looking east again. No waves that day.

Looking west towards SanDestin.

It's just water, but isn't it clear and pretty?

Another storm-damaged home.

Closer view of the lovely teal color that must have been popular in the 1950s.

And another one.

And another one.

This one was in the worst shape, at least in the interior.

This was reeeeel smartt. Build a huge mansion on beachside property, but don't worry about protective dunes. In fact, you should remove the dunes so that the house can have two garage door openings on the beach side of the house! And you wonder why some people lose their asses in a hurricane.

It was a perfect weekend for a wedding on the beach.

Pretty sunset.

I got back late last night; photos forthcoming. Yesterday on the way back from Santa Rosa we stopped in Freeport and rode this route plus an extra 8 miles near Eglin AFB. First we stopped and asked the sheriff about the roads and he said plenty of people ride them; plus 20 and 331 have shoulders on both sides that are wide enough for cyclists. The other roads without shoulders have little traffic, except for dogs.

Heh. I thought that since I have been primed for hills, that a flat ride would be easy. It was like a road race because there was no chance to stop pedaling for 50 miles. You can't coast since there are no downhills. And my booty didn't like sitting on the saddle that long so every once in a while I would stand up to pedal. What most destroyed my motivation was that the roads appeared (not sure if actual) to constantly be at a slight incline, with no end in sight. Miles and miles of slight incline. When we would reach a turn, I would be excited just to use my bike's steering. An additional source of excitement would be a piece of debris in the bike line. Sad, I know.

So I chased after my maniac companion (he's a solid Cat 3) for 49 miles. Pigged out on Mexican food immediately afterwards then passed out asleep until we reached Birmingham.

I don't know if I would want to ride that again since it was boring, but I learned one valuable thing today. The reason why road races hurt me so badly is because I don't train for them. A good 40-50 mile manic chase without slowing or stopping is the proper training for a road race.

Two weeks ago when I posted about my beach trip I thought the weather was perfect. Wrong. It can get better. This weekend is truly perfect, with cloudless skies, temps between 70 and 80 F, a light breeze, and crystal clear, calm water.

We rolled into Santa Rosa Beach late last night around 9 pm and found a restaurant still open so we had yummy tuna steaks for dinner. Then we were up at 6 am to meet a riding group; we rode a relaxed 30 miles right next to the shoreline.

Coastal riding is way different than foot-of-the-Appalachians riding. I'll take the latter over the former. We climbed a gentle incline (about 30 seconds) and one guy said, "That hill really wore me out!" It's all about perspective. Cyclists in Colorado would laugh at me. It gets boring sitting in the saddle and putting forth a consistent effort for the entire ride. I used maybe three gears. I like getting out of the saddle so my booty can get some circulation and I can use different muscles.

The wind is the main challenge; crosswinds blow you sideways and headwinds are mighty strong.

We had a chat with some guys visiting from Wisconsin. They said people up there go on winter road rides in the snow. Wow. That sounds painful. Wonder if they use chains on their tires? ;)

I spent hours on the beach today trying to concoct a plan to get rich off the stock market and then buy beachfront property in the Grayton Beach area off 30-A. Haaaa ha ha.

The only thing I don't like about the tropical climate is that there are no hills. Guess that's why Hawaii is so expensive.

I took photos this time, especially of some homes that were damaged by Katrina and still haven't been fixed. Fire sale, anyone? I'd like to bid.

October is by far the best month of the year to visit the panhandle. It's not hot anymore but the water's still warm enough to swim in. And the evenings are refreshing and cool. Best of all, it's not crowded.

I'm so glad I decided to tag along on this last minute trip. I have nice friends.

One thing I've learned from playing the stock market (with fictional money) is that I have no patience. For example, two days ago I bought stock XXX (ticker hidden so you won't do something stupid and go out and buy it) at 49. It drops to 47-something and I freak out. It had been upgraded to a buy rating, but the volatility was driving me nuts. So I waited until the price was at my original purchase price and sold the lot of shares one day after buying them. Now it's trading at 51.

NO PATIENCE.

The right time to buy a stock or ETF is exactly when you think you shouldn't. Over the past couple of days, everyone and their brother has been selling off commodities. They were hammered. It's against every rational cell in my body to buy gold, timber or silver right now. But buying something when it's popular and everyone else wants it is probably going to cause you to lose money.

This trading stuff is going to take some practice, until I develop a thick skin.

I may be going to the beach again this weekend. I should know something by the end of today. If not, then I am doing a 60 mile bike race/ride on Saturday; a cult classic event. Either way there's something to look forward to!

The last couple of months in the dating scene have been fun. An example: Over the past few weeks, Farmboy has: cut my grass, tilled a fall garden, brought me dinner, cooked me dinner (twice), brought me a snack in between classes, taken out my garbage, picked up my furniture from the store, built the furniture, brought me milk, brought me cold medicine, and gave me a tour of his work.

I've been dating narcissists for so long, I don't know what to make of someone being nice to me consistently. Of course I like it.

Other guys are trying to woo me as well: flowers, overabundance of text messages, cards, meals, movies, surprise notes, dogged persistence, an ego-boosting waterfall of compliments.

The biggest change I've made recently to go from being treated like crap to being treated like a princess is this: I used to be attracted to the loner, the misfit, the guy who needs fixing. I still have that attraction to that type of person, but instead of encouraging him to be interested in me, I tell myself to walk away from the possibility. The only people I allow to woo me are those who are psychologically well enough to appreciate someone else besides themselves.

Improvements across the board: School, cycling, dating, family relationships, my health, my happiness... (work is curiously missing... haha).

Campy hub for training wheels
HRM - maybe Polar CS200?
New Look Keo Classics for training bike
Write CD of good music for bike shop dude
New windproof jacket for outdoor riding
Training plan for upcoming year
French press for new coffee addiction
Put old tire on training bike rear wheel

I put a hold on the "breaking myself of sugar addiction" goal until the beginning of 2007. Life is too short to deny myself holiday goodies!!

Ready for the suckage of indoor training!

The weather this weekend was gorgeous. I squeezed in a long bike ride and a recovery run amidst the freelance work I'm still burdened with. And I took breaks for social activities, though I had to turn a friend down for hiking yesterday. Bummer, since the weather was nice. Cross training is good this time of year.
