Last night after work was a nice leisurely bike ride on my new Trek 7.2 FX. I went back and forth from our Metra stop and was there and back in about twenty-five minutes. It was fun. A lot of fun, to be exact. My butt muscles a hurting pretty good right now, too -- man, it's been forever since I've been on a bike.
I was always a skateboarder in my younger years, and I've even thought about re-incorporating that into some of my day-to-day. As I see it, I'd probably need to lose about 20 pounds to make that even close to a reality.
This morning at 6am was the start of a nice leisurely jog along my 5K training route, and I'm feeling much better progress-wise. I think the music helped me out -- this new Panda Bear album is unbelievably good, and it was a nice start to the day for me.
Training-wise, I'll be increasing distance each day this week to try and be back at two miles of unstopped running at a good pace. Looking ahead at the calendar, I'm going to try and convince a few friends that we need to run a 5K in the next month or so.

In other news, I'm gearing up hard for Lollapalooza 2006 (starting tomorrow), and I'm listening to Band of Horses right now. This might be a new band for me -- I'm picking up what they're putting down...
Today is July 4, the two year anniversay of my music site, Live Music Blog, and I plan on celebrating it in the only way that i know how -- going to see live music.
We're headed down to the Taste of Chicago for a free performance from My Morning Jacket, and there's really no reason why I would think to miss this.
In honor of today's festivities, I'm featuring an excellent My Morning Jacket cover of Bob Dylan's "The Man in Me," popularized to me and the rest of my world through the movie The Big Lebowski.
