I did my first Triathlon this year (just a sprint, but I loved it). Unfortunately, times have been hard since then. I'm getting ready to get back on my bike this weekend and this post was so uplifting to read, and it made me really really excited. Thanks for sharing!Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309027809190084539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-9931559349345537472010-08-09T16:00:51.294-07:002010-08-09T16:00:51.294-07:00So glad that you had an awesome ride with Torch. ...So glad that you had an awesome ride with Torch. I'm sure he missed you. :-)<br /><br />I hear you on the job market. I lost mine last October due to the economy. I've been looking, but there is nothing here for me. Right now I'm playing domestic goddess. I actually enjoy it to a certain extent. The hubs is very happy as well as he reaps the benefits of lots of healthy cooking and cleaning. However, I'm considering finally enrolling in grad school. I've put it off for so many years and I certainly have a lot of free time on my hands these days. <br /><br />I hope that something GREAT finds you soon! Thhink positive!! :-)Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082457871394785441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-18381094337776932482010-08-08T16:26:48.054-07:002010-08-08T16:26:48.054-07:00Sounds like Torch relit your flame! Nice. Agree on...Sounds like Torch relit your flame! Nice. Agree on the economy. Still looking and have the same over-qualified problem.<br /><br />A few bike things. I have been using Sushi rice, made with the sugar but not the vinegar, for ride fuel. Super-clean. No indigestion no matter how hard I push. GI ~ 100 I think. Nishiki brand, sold at Ralley's/BelAir. <br /><br />Lowered downtube bottle down one anchor, fastening the bottom cage hole to the frame with vinyl tubing sheathed zip-tie. Astounding difference in wind drag. Would be interested to know if you have the same experience.<br /><br />CFS is horrible. I suffered for 2 yrs in the late '80s. Relief came from sleep, sala, sweat, salt and antibiotics. I assume the latter lowered my immune system. Do you get any relief during your monthly cycle - like rheumatoid arthritis suffers?<br /><br />Good luck on the job search, and welcome back.Grey Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238917041257429804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-42696301698687419382010-08-07T09:34:39.777-07:002010-08-07T09:34:39.777-07:00You know I don't feel like I have really start...You know I don't feel like I have really started a ride until I get in aero position. Then everything falls into place and I am in my zone. I am so happy that you were able to enjoy the ride!Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335001280807576664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-78347247320421505242010-08-06T20:02:22.023-07:002010-08-06T20:02:22.023-07:00I'm glad you're riding again. I don't...I'm glad you're riding again. I don't ride much any more, and sometimes I miss it. Now that we have an Ironman here in the Houston area (Woodlands) I may just have to get back on the bike, myself.<br /><br />If you're willing to move to Houston, we're hiring post-docs for Center for Nuclear Receptors and Cell Signaling. Dr. Jan-Ake Gustaffson works for us: http://cnrcs.uh.edu/<br /><br />Go to https://jobs.uh.edu and check posting 065360. Hiring decisions are made at the department level, but I have contacts in most departments, including CNRCS. If you applied, I could probably make sure you got a phone interview.Ann (bunnygirl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04938134750150653386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-28848338429837851622010-08-06T18:52:13.091-07:002010-08-06T18:52:13.091-07:00I hope things fall your way in the job market.
