will update with details of restaurant.

a group of us are meeting at tomorrow morning Lakeshore East at 7:30 Cafe Rom).

we’ll run to ohio street beach and plan on swimming one hour starting at around 7:45.

then a 2 hour run, starting at around 9:00 along the lakefront.   hope you can join us for one, two, or three hours.

I was thinking about ways to stay busy while tapering, when the day that I no longer have to spend more time on my bike than I do sleeping comes, and I have a very short list.   I’m wondering if anyone can help me fill my days.

Requirements: it has to be on-topic (I like to stay focused.)

Movies:
Canadian Bacon http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109370/ 
(The U.S. President, low in the opinion polls, gets talked into raising his popularity by trying to start a cold war against Canada)

South Park the movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0158983/
When the four boys see an R-rated movie featuring Canadians Terrance & Phillip, they are pronounced “corrupted”, and their parents pressure the United States to wage war against Canada.

Music:
Avril Levigne http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avril_Lavigne
Men Without Hats http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_Without_Hats
But don’t listen to them while driving - you might be overcome with the urge to veer into oncoming traffic just to make the noise stop

Hi all!

As the big day nears, I hope you are all taking care of your bodies!  I’m available for massage (at the Friends & Family rate) at Lakeshore East.  Call or email to book an appointment.
