I just completed the last ride of the week before my rest day tomorrow--I'm looking forward to it more than I looked forward to prom as a teen (and I LOVED prom). This is the biggest week I've ever ridden--miles combined with intensity and I'm dead, well at least slightly comatose. Anyway, my goal was to keep my ride at tempo pace and after about two hours I began the groans and sighs process that you only do when you ride alone--god forbid! I would never look like a pouty pants on a group ride with acquaintances and strangers. I always keep my Joe Cool persona--but replace the braces with pieces of energy bar stuck in my teeth and dried salt and spit all around my mouth. Hottest rider of the year award....
Anyway I digress.
The point is that in a moment of weakness, I was grabbing for anything that would help me get through this last ride and I came up with the grand idea to switch Pandora to Technotronic radio. The first song had me smiling and thinking about my favorite teacher, Miss Gunn (who was our gym teacher at the time) and running laps in gym class in elementary school. The rest of the ride flew by--sort of--until the last 20 minutes or so when the Geez Louise's came out (again, never a groan I would say out loud if anyone else was around).
One of my favorite songs. Ever. Been meaning to break out my bead necklaces too.
