Darn. Not cold enough

I've been driving T (and L) to school M/W/F due to T's broken ankle. Can't remember what was up last Thursday but I didn't get to ride.

Last night it was looking like it might hit Chelsea's -20*F cutoff; if the wind chill is below that they cancel school. That would mean I'd get to ride.

Didn't happen. No wind at all this morning, so school is on.

And tomorrow would normally be a ride day, but the new kitten is going in for neutering, so I'm not sure if that will work out either. I'll probably wind up driving again.

I guess it's onto the treadmill. I hate that damn thing; so very boring. And I forgot and brought the wrong MP3 player; this one has lots of music but no audiobooks (good for working, not so good for working out).

Yoink

Snagged a couple of the Sandisk 1GB MP3 players + radios at woot.com. They make excellent workout/cycling players. I had a 512M before but I gave it to T. I've been using the Zen Micro on the bike, but it's borderline big for cycling, plus I know for a fact from the previous Sandisk player that sweat can get inside players and corrode contacts.

These players will run for 10+ hours on a single AAA rechargable, and 1GB of audiobooks is quite a bit (512M didn't quite hold a full book).

If you're looking for a tiny player to use during workouts, they're $10. Can't beat that. I just grabbed a couple so I don't mind if I drop/break one or short it out in a thunderstorm.

Just for the record....

I tested up to green belt + blue stripe in tae kwon do on Friday.
