Last night I was digging through some old boxes of trophies and whatnot my mother brought over on her last visit. I found this cd of Russian music from my first training trip there in 2000. It was definately the greatest time in my life. I was running fantastic, no job other than racing, no worries....just living the dream.
Dmitry and I bought a soundtrack from the movie Brat 2 and listened to it over and over while we trained. We associated certain songs with certain places and people. So I stayed up late last night converting that sucker into a format I could play on my MP3 player.
This morning I loaded it into my phone and jumped on my bike for my 35minute commute to work. I found myself 1 hour and 45minutes later riding up a mountain no where remotely close to my work....but still carrying a sack full of work clothes on my back. I guess I was taking a stroll....err... pedal down memory lane and lost track of time, space, etc.
I made it to work a bit late and a bit fatigued. I didn't fuel myself properly because I don't normally need that stuff on my ride to work.......I got in just in time for a meeting and after the meeting there was Aric ready for the lunchtime ride. Ahhh, why not.
Ooooof I'm really tired now. Anyways....so I've been kicking ass at work lately and they owe me some comp time. So no big deal. But it's amazing how music can carry you away.
