May 15, 2010 By: Runner Leana

I made it safe and sound to my parents’ place in the Okanagan yesterday afternoon.  It was a long drive, but thanks to some good tunes it sped by. 

This morning I woke up at 4 am..!!  Granted, that is 5 am Calgary time, but that is still pretty early for a Saturday morning.  Rather than trying to go back to sleep I just hung out in bed and watched this week’s episode of the Vampire Diaries.

Now that the sun is shining it is time to tackle a quick clean and lube of the bike.  I raided a closet full of clothes that I’m assuming are the final stop on the way to the give away pile.  I found this sweet outfit to wear…  DSCN3350 Those shorts are maybe mine from circa grade 7 or 8?  They still fit in the waist, but I think my hips have grown since then.  I found a couple of Kleenex in the pocket.  Or maybe I should wear one of these?  DSCN3351 It may be hard to decipher but there are three shirts there.  They used to belong to my brother.  If skinny jeans can make a comeback, maybe so can obnoxiously loud Body Glove shirts.  You never know!  OK, time to go clean my bike!

    The best stuff to clean bikes I’ve found are Armour All wipes. They clean the gunk off but don’t scratch.

    LOL, love the flashback clothing! Hey, everything DOES seem to come back in style.

    I think they should bring back Hyper Colour – in running gear!

    I just threw out a bunch of clothes at my parents. Some stuff from preschool!

    I’ve heard it said somewhere that if you were alive the first time it was in style, you shouldn’t wear it the second time!

    @Marlene — OMG! Hypercolor shirts!! Ha!
