Also, I signed up for a 35 mile bike tour in early June, so am motivated to get my biking butt in shape.

What I really want is a treadmill, and almost bought one a few weeks ago used from some lady on Craigs List. Then my children needed some financial help. But maybe now I can get one.<br /><br />I love all your pointers and am copying them out for reference!! And I've bookmarked you so I can come back later and browse your blog and website.

I'm looking forward to that Query Tracker contest, so I'll stop being a shlumper and get on that.<br /><br />Most of the time I'm not really a shlumpy underachiever, but somehow I've convinced myself that I am. Sheesh. I definitely need a motto: perhaps "Don't be a schmuck" or even better "Schlumpy is as schlumpy does." Okay, that was lame. <br /><br />Looking forward to more of your blog!<br /><br />p.s. congrats on being repped.
