Today I had a flexible 10:00 appointment in west sedona to have my carpet cleaned by service master who would be @ this address for a house cleaning. Funny thing, we both had the address correct, the house was on a corner, I had the correct street, he picked the side street. He called me asking where i was and I asked the same. I got out of my van and he started walking from his rig. We saw each other and realized what was what. Carpet has wear issues, it ain’t brand new anymore.
Drove to MBH and geared up for a road ride on my Turner, all 150mm of travel complete w/ seat dropper and I am ready for the ramped sidewalk crossings. My goal was 1 hour of riding, just to test reflexes and my collar bone / shoulder. I was off. The hours spent spinning paid off as I have developed a powerful spin as i charged up the hilly streets until i crapped out. Broke off ride at just under 1 hr as planned. Tomorrow I will ride a bit further.
Taking the theoretical max aerobic calc of 220 – my age (61), times 85%, my calc’d upper limit is 135 bpm.
Resting pulse is in mid 60s. See how little room I have b4 anaerobic threshold.
Visited w/ Rama @ his shop.
I learned that a spa near uptown sells monthly memberships. Previously I was treated to visits to this posh spa. I heard $100 / month. I reasoned that having access to a paid for shower until 9:00PM w/ the freedom to let someone else clean up was worth it. I happened to meet the spa manager @ the desk. We negotiated $90 starting today and ending 4/30. Fun successful negotiating. I price each shower out @ $3.00.
I am back @ Beaverhead flats again tonight. I cherish my independence and freedom to wrap myself up in egocentric activities: it is only I who waste my time.
Today was a pretty good day.
Another day of mid 70 degrees and no heat @ night. I wake up @ 7:00 to listen to Bob Edwards radio show. AZ does not do daylight savings. I miss 7 and I miss his informative and sometimes thought provoking show. Part of my day. I found his show way back during my winter in the Pisgah.
