During the IT Department's weekly meeting, I was told that I have better hair than most of the women in the office. Just wait until they find out I'm pretty good at computers, too! On that note, I do have a small project to work on, and I've scheduled meetings with some development teams this coming week so I can learn how they build things (and how I can build things to help them build things). I'm excited! +- I do kind of miss the walking route(s) I had at my old job. There don't seem to be any good routes at the new one, but there *are* four flights of stairs between the parking lot and my desk. So I've been trying to walk those more to get some physical activity throughout the day. + +- After last weekend's 40(ish)-mile ride, I took a few light rides to recover. And then got back into a threshold training ride on Thursday that *really* kicked my butt. I guess I still had some more recovery to do. + +- I skipped Friday and Saturday due to weather, but went out for a relaxing 22-mile ride this morning and felt great.
