i've been packing everything into boxes lately as i'm moving on saturday. it's quite a process to go through all your stuff and see what you want, what goes to the trash pile, do i really need/want this? all that pluss finding a way to organize it all for when you unpack. it's daunting, but necessary, i don't want a huge mess at the new place too. besides, we really need to get rid of some stuff as our new place has less storage space (no garage) so all the extranious accumulation is getting weeded out and dealt with.

had a garage sale, sold a ton of bike crap and other misc items that were just sitting around, i figured it's going to cost me money to move it so if i can get anything out of this junk it'll be worth it. so a few bike geeks got great deals on stuff and i made a month's rent off stuff i never use. the problem is, it still seems like there's too much and it's never ending. i could sell stuff on ebay all day and still not hit the bottom of the pile.

oh, the racing has sucked lately, in case you have not noticed (which is easy, since i haven't done anything noticable). i'm good for races under 10 minutes, which seems odd as i'm going well in training and have no problems getting the hours in. just need to crank up the intensity a bit, but every time i want/need to something gets in the way. flats in races, crashes, stomach bugs, it's been like i constantly have a roadblock as soon as i can open it up, so i feel i've never gone full gas this spring. i'm trying to be patient, and i know there's many more races and opportunities to come.
