My Truck

My truck is always a mess. There is a few things that are almost always in it. I almost always have a bike or two and the things that accompany the bike, i.e. helmets, cycling shoes, pump, etc... I usually have a gym bag with me. In it is both cycling clothes and running clothes. In the winter I have a jacket, sweater, or sweatshirt; or all of the above (in case it gets cold), and in the Summer I will have a change of t-shirts (in case I get to sweaty). I keep my bag of swimming gear in the car (fins, kick board, pull buoy, goggles, and assorted workout sheets). It doesn't make to much sense to keep taking it out , if I'm just going to go swimming again in a day or two.

As you read above you may be thinking that all I do is work out, but on closer examination you would find some non workout stuff. I will always have something to read whether a magazine (I subscribe to bicycling, mountain biking, and runners world) or a book. I eat out alone a lot (ahhh!), and it's good to have something to keep yourself occupied so you don't notice people staring at you (you are eating alone you loser). I also have dog stuff in the truck. You can almost always find dog biscuits (you never know when you need to make friends with a dog, and they're good to carry on rides and runs because of this). I also developed the habit of keeping the dog's leash in the truck. They use to jump in the truck to go somewhere any chance they could. I still keep the leash in there, even though Buddy is gone and Allie is too old to do anything. Habit I guess. Last but not least, I have a mess of fliers and junk mail. Because my garage is not attached to my house, I tend to leave the mail in the truck were it collects (and many times overflows). In case you have just started reading this blog I will fill you in on something the people that have been reading it know, I'm a bit of a slob (let the sisterly heckling begin).
