Jogged in. Bread was 'funny' so didn't get breakfast which is why I think I felt pretty lightheaded as I went past Plutos. Also possibly the effects of spin last night and then ...

About Me:

Descartes said "I think, therefore I am" I guess my motivation could be paraphrased as "I train, therefore I eat brownies" I aspire to be mid pack. I am overly competitive with myself, haven't any motivation at all to compete with others.
