Tonight, tonight
won’t be just any night…
Today, the minutes seem like hours,
the hours go so slowly,
and still the sky is light …
Minute Maid Park is going to be crazy tonight, and I can hardly wait. Someone must have planned this, as it’s too much to believe it was a coincidence. Roger Clemens is coming back, wearing #22, making $22 million, and making his first start on June 22. Clemens! Clemens! Yaaaaaay Clemens!
I took the morning off to sleep in a bit and watch the US-Ghana World Cup match. If you care about soccer, you’ll already know that we lost, 2-1, and were eliminated from the Cup. The Czech Republic also lost to Italy, leaving Italy and Ghana as the survivors who will move on from our “Group of Death.” With Italy winning, all we needed was a win over Ghana and we’d be moving on instead of them. Alas, we didn’t get it.
I do plan to continue watching the World Cup. From here on out, I think I’m going to cheer for Mexico. They’re the sole first-round surviver from CONCACAF (the North American division; Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago, and the U.S. have all now been eliminated), so to me they’re the equivalent of our “home” team now.
Last night our first brick workout came and went, and it went pretty well. I was sore afterwards, and getting out of bed was rough this morning, but the workout itself felt good.
15 miles biking, 52:52 – 16.4 mph
Easy transition – 2:55
2 miles running, 23:15 = 11:37/mile
I need to get some tri shorts soon, though. Last night I ran in my bike shorts, and it’s not the most comfortable thing ever. Not bad, but not ideal.
Tonight, 2-3 miles of running before the ballgame. My mom gets in tonight after the game, and tomorrow’s my first training day off! Woo!

Wow, you’re my second blogging friend that is going tonight. I know you are going to have so much fun.
And how cool are you! I love the lyrics. That will be in Houston next year by the way.

…playing the Twins (get it? 2-2) in his 22nd year a a pitcher.
Someone at work had a long list of 22’s for him today. Pretty amazing! All I have to say is we’d better win.
Barbara says
Oh I forgot another one. He pitched 22 games last season.
