Winter is here. I've resorted to catching carpool rides from my employers house. Biking to work daily is preferable but not easy to sustain. I hate that two of the others in the vehicle are desperate to want to smoke in the car and that the smoke representative (head honcho smoker who prioritises smoking above all else - along with beer) makes no secret that he is at great pains to resist smoking for my sake. So if it suits him (on occasion), I will inhale it whilst the window is down blasting 100km (windchill) air in my face but still the smoke eddies inside filter through my respiratory passages.
How angry can a person get about such involuntary smoking? I hope we don't have to find out.
At least biking a few days should make it easier on us all to get what we want/compromise.
Now that we have a new job in town I'll be commuting to it every day we are working there.
Enuf Wingeing, the weekend was pretty fun. Achieved a few hrs (12) running merrily about the coastal hills with T Farrant near Cheviot in the Annual Heights of Winter Rogaine. Having won it the past two years, I was lazy about getting a team mate organised for 2008 and so was looking like not doing it (after doing the past 6yrs in a row). T gave me a txt to say his team - mate had bailed out on him and so we joined up.
We covered about 20km straight line at a good speed but by then (3.5hrs) T was knackered. So a win was not on the cards with T being a young fella, we shortened our planned route and came 9th in the end. The meal at the after-event function was great and Greig and Tim won. The trophy went back in Greigs car (since I caught a ride with him).
