Friday Fun

Ok, so for those of you that haven't heard my wife was in a car accident on Wednesday night, she is fine...her car not so much. It is totaled, hopefully. We are still waiting to hear from the insurance company, I really don't want a car that has extensive accident repair done on it....I don't think they ever drive the same. Anyway, this has FORCED me into more bike riding since she is now driving my car. So yesterday we just tried to hang out at home, but we just got on each others nerves (the kids and I). Today we are going to try to avoid the lengthy down time, and since Bridget is working all day and all night and half of tomorrow....we really need to stay happy all day!

So here is the plan, we are going to ride to the rec center where I am going to ride the stationary bike and run on the treadmill. Then we are going from the rec center to an afternoon showing of Disney/Pixar's new movie Wall-e. Should be fun, hope I'm not crazy for taking 2 kids to the movies by myself! Then I'll bike us all home. Total round trip will be about 17 miles, plus the 12 or so that I'll ride on the stationary bike! At least it is only supposed to get to 88 degrees today, so it should be a little cooler (100+ degrees on Sunday!).

Bike commuting at it's best!

Update: so about 30 minutes after I made this wonderful post I got a call from the insurance company and I have to meet them this afternoon....right in the middle of what was going to be our movie time! So that idea might be scrapped as well as the ambitious bike ride. So sad. Hopefully we can get the car situation squared away quickly so we can return to life as normal.
