Over the last few years, I've developed a tradition of taking my friend and fellow Tigers fan Tom Brown to a Tigers game on or around his June 20 birthday. The picture below shows us at the 2011 game, on June 25, when they beat the Arizona Diamondbacks. (Tom is just a youngster, though, only turning 55 today). Since he is picking me up at 4:45 to go to tonight's game against the Boston Red Sox, I knew that a longer ride this afternoon would be impossible. So I dug out early, and rode an 11-mile route to work, in 1 hour 3 minutes. Thus disciplined, I'll feel OK about having a hot dog tonight (with a Diet Pepsi, of course).
******* Update at 2:10 p.m. *******
This has been a very schizophrenic work week—yesterday and Monday I was needed to stay well past the average, but today and Tuesday were decidedly the other way. I got off way early today (before 1:30), and this means that, of course, I would have had plenty of time to do a long ride after work. But, of course, I didn't know that this morning, and so am glad that I got my long ride done early. With the short ride home after work, it gave me a daily total of 14.4 miles in 1 hour 24 minutes.
