now the pain is my pleasure...

'cause nothing could measure... (S&M, Rihanna)

 thank you ri ri. now those are some words to live by... ;)

happy (belated) valentine's day to all my lovely friends out there...i hope you were able to celebrate with those that you love... and all you singles out there that are jaded and bitter, please don't be... just because you don't have that "one special someone" doesn't mean that you're not surrounded by people who love you unconditionally and they deserve some recognition too. but please don't send me chocolates. they will not help with any sort of "training" that i'm doing ;)

this past weekend was Spin to End...a 6-hour spin event to raise money for Action Cycling in order to help with funding the AV200 ride... going into it, i had decided to challenge myself to do at least 3 hours on the spin bike (one on, one off, etc.). but then in my endorphin-induced haze, i ambitiously ended up doing four hours (two on, one off, etc.) and realized that it was probably 2 hours too many after getting up and realizing that all the muscles south of my waist were incredibly sore. not nearly as bad as post-half-marathoning, but bad enough that i was walking like i'd been the inspiration for rihanna's song. in any case, i figured now was as good of a time to figure out what it's like to be on my butt for an extended period of time... what have i gotten myself into?!
