Running For My Life

Why do my things keep breaking? First it was my Garmin Forerunner (which has since been fixed), then it was the TV in my basement (also now fixed), now it’s my exercise bike. The bike itself still works, but the screen that displays the speed, distance, calories, etc. is broken. I suspect one of my kids threw a ball at it because it was knocked completely off the base of the bike, but nobody will fess up to it (sounds like something I would have done as a kid). Now I’m wondering what will break next? My treadmill?? My leg???
So without the display reading, I was forced to time my bike workout this morning with an old-fashioned stopwatch ($4.99 at Walmart). I estimated my total miles based on my typical pace for a ride like that. I am sure it’s not off more than a mile either way, but it still would be nice to see my progress along the way.

On a completely unrelated note, I have now turned down two ticket offers to go to the Packers-Giants NFC Championship game this Sunday (my co-worker invited me, as did a friend/client who went to the Packers-Seahawks game with us last weekend and was totally fun!). However, if the Packers win and go to the Super Bowl, there is a good chance I will be going to Phoenix for the game, so I am trying to save up some of my “me time” for that. Go Packers!!
