So I’m heading up to Iowa this weekend to the fairly new Iowa Speedway to watch the IRL race. This is a good thing because I didn’t think I was going to get to go to any big races this year and that would be the first time since 2001 I think… the year Kansas Speedway opened. My uncle works for Firestone so I’ll be spending some time at the Firestone hospitality tent. The only catch to go to this race is I have to go golfing on Saturday. That wouldn’t be so bad, except I haven’t hit a golf ball in probably 15 years and apparently this is a pretty tough course. So, if anyone has a recommendation for the cheapest public driving range in town, let me know cause I need to head out there this week. Possibly multiple times!

Last night I was back on the bike. Only 10 miles but I wanted to pick up the pace. I didn’t think the night before really had much effect on me until I actually started riding again. The first two miles I didn’t think there was any way I was going to make it the whole 10 miles. I’m pretty sure another night on the bike is a bad idea, luckily I have plenty of weights at home. I’m not sure how I dove back into a work out routine but since I’m motivated to do it I guess that is a good thing. Actually, I think the motivation comes from having to look at myself in the mirror everyday. Guess it is time to lose the post-separation fat. Actually it is more likely caused by fast, cheap dinners for the last 6 months and the free lunches are not helping any. Eating healthy and working out daily… two very difficult things to keep going. We’ll see how it goes.
