Did I mention that I increased the tension on the bike to level 4 last week? I totally did, and boy can I tell. I can't go as fast nor as far as I was at first, and I really feel it. It's great, because it feels like I'm really doing something.
I am so ready for the weekend, let me tell you. We are supposed to get snow, but I didn't know that and I scheduled a last-minute (and sorely-needed) dentist appointment for myself and my kid tomorrow afternoon. So we'll see how that goes.
Starbucks Salted Caramel Square. Have you had one? They are delicious. I ate one at my desk this afternoon, as I pedaled along.
With that out of the way - what a lovely day I've had! It started with a bit of training (I have a student entering data on spreadsheets - not much fun for him, but necessary for me), followed by a work meeting, then a group of us met to go over the first week of Digging Deeper: Making Manuscripts, a MOOC out of Stanford that promises to be pretty amazing. I spent the afternoon reviewing proposals for a conference, and pedaling. Got quite a bit done on both fronts (still some reviews to do tonight, though).

Over the weekend I think I'll crunch the numbers and see how my output has varied over the past couple of weeks.
Yesterday was busy, I had to run off to an afternoon meeting off-campus (at the swanky Union League of Philadelphia - not to be confused with the Philadelphia Union Soccer team) and I forgot to update the blog before I ran off. And even though I was in a dress all day (as the Union League has a dress code), and I left earlier than usual, I was still able to get in a good day's worth of pedaling.

Comparing this with Friday - more time, fewer miles. I pedaled a bit more slowly than I have been. I think that's fine, as long as I'm moving, that's what matters.
