Day 6: Thoughts and progress

I've been reading Steven Pinker, the American linguist. You know when you give someone a raspberry? Raspberry comes from a British word for fart that in turn comes from raspberry tart. The book's full of wild word origin stories like that. Wild stuff.

Sleep. What about a nap? Maybe scheduling a 30 minute siesta would help recharge the battery some? I took one today after setting two fence posts and just about collapsing in the afternoon heat. It was hard to wake up from, but I'll admit that after I got going again I lasted longer into the night.

Food: two eggs and three turkey sausages; glass orange juice; 3 cups coffee; 2 bowls awesome salad; half a hot dog; water; 2 coke zeros (that cant be good); some pretzels and sunflower seeds; lots of water.

Exercise: school circuit; hills on bike ( 3 trips up my hill).

Tomorrow's my first road ride with a group.
