The past two days were busy ones for the calendar of interesting events.
Yesterday (July 12) was the anniversary of Joseph Smith sanctioning polygamy as well as the anniversary of surgeon general reporting a direct link between lung cancer and smoking. Also, Geraldine Ferraro was announced as the first female VP candidate on July 12 (1984).
Today is embrace your geekness day. I'm pretty sure it's a made up day, but I'll embrace it anyway. I am pretty geeky. I prefer to classify myself as a nerd, though. Somehow, it seems a little nicer/more relatable than geek. Today is also the birth anniversary of Father Flanagan, who founded Boy's Town. That'd be important for a few Omaha folks, I guess. In 1917, a vision of the Virgin Mary appeared to the children of Fatima, Portugal. I have no additional information on that. Sounds weird, though. Why only the children? How many children? Where's Fatima? I'm going to have to do some google research...Also, on this day in 1985, the first LiveAid concert was kicked off by Prince Charles and Princess Diana. remember when they were an item? Life was so simple back then...
Today's spin class was a pace work workout. Generally, spin class does a lot of hill work (fitting for around here) or intervals (also good for training). But today? Pace. Find a pace that's faster than your comfortable riding pace and hold it. For an hour. While we make the resistance harder or easier. While we stand up or sit down. Active recovery involves keeping that faster than normal pace while easing up on the resistance. It was a nice switch from the norm, but I couldn't do it every day.
I'm getting my hair cut today. It's been 10 weeks. I'm ready, even though I'm not COMPLETELY sick of my hair, yet. It'll be nice to get it cleaned up a bit. Scooter's bed is gone!!! Crib gone, bed gone, Bubba LOVING the mattress on the floor thing. But it's a little wild, so we might be looking for beds before this weekend. We'll see how the next few nights go...
