Missed

So it's Wednesday, and there should be a post about swimming. But there isn't. I didn't go this morning. Why not? Did I sleep through the alarm? Nope, I woke up before the alarm went off. Was the weather too crappy? Nope, when I went out and shovelled the driveway it was actually kind of nice, for a February morning. But the weather WAS too crappy last night, and there was still about 6 inches of fresh snow on my street. I like my car, but it's not good at handling any real amount of snow. So I was stranded until either the city plows out the street, or enough traffic goes through to put in grooves that I can follow. We got a half-assed attempt at plowing after last Wednesday's snow, but nothing after Saturday, or last night. And I'll bet whoever is supposed to do it checks it off as done at the end of his shift. All I would have to do is get to the intersecting street, since The City deems that important enough to clear, to the risk of not making it (or finding another uncleared street) was too great. So no swim for me today. Instead I went back to bed and stewed in anger for an hour.

Then I got up and rode my bike. I was scheduled for a short ride this afternoon, but with other plans tonight, I was either going to miss it, or cram it between swimming and heading to work. So that's the aluminum lining on this cloud (it's not worth enough to be silver). A decent spin just to open my legs up since I'm not bike-commuting either. At the very least, I'll be very rested for my FT test on Saturday. I better kill it.

Bike: 30 min, zone 1-2
