Pollen! ... is my problem!

I realized yesterday while riding that the pollen is making me sick. I hate it. It is in my eyes, my nose, and my throat. I will be SO glad when it is gone. I got in a little over 30 miles yesterday. I didn't get my heart-rate up one time because I probably would have fallen over and died if I had. The pollen just feels like it is shutting my body down at times. It was nice getting out and riding because lately all I have been doing is swimming. In just a few days I will be done with school and able to ride EVERY day and swim EVERY day. I am looking so forward to having 10 weeks off from kids. I will still be working at the bike shop and maybe for Smap at the label company, but it will be nice not having to discipline and scold every day for a while.

I still have a lot of photos to post from recent past events. I will have plenty of time to do that as well.

Smap and I checked out the new Nama last night (where the old Cha Cha was in Homberg). It was really good, but unfortunately they don't have beer on draft. This really bothered Smap as he is a draft beer drinker. We have plenty of local breweries in town for which the restaurant could have been supplied to. Good draft beer is the way to go. Having kegs prevents less waste, and by going with local breweries, they are supporting local companies (we have a kegerator at home with Knoxville's own Woodruff's beer- 2 flavors). Hard to believe the owner didn't put in draft lines in his new bar! The gal working in the bar last night said, "there is no room for kegs here". My goodness, the Nama bar downtown is TINY and they have like 6 different flavors to choose from on draft. Doesn't make sense. Oh well, perhaps the owner will change his mind down the road.

Cheers to less than 2 more days of school!
