Yesterday marked my long ride ever, coming in at approximately 139 miles as a part of the Rapha Gentlemen’s Race. We headed out to the beach (Lincoln City) on Friday evening and stayed in a suite at the Inn at Spanish Head thanks to team president Jim who served as sugar daddy for the evening. [...]
A Little Lot Better
Posted By Adam Edgerton on November 26th, 2008
So today has pretty much been awesome. After my last post, I headed out. I
- Got to know Ryan from Crocs a little better
- browsed at J.Crew, Gap, and Nordstrom Rack for a while
- Unintentionally wore the perfect conversation-starter: my Oregon beanie. Everyone wanted to talk this upcoming weekend’s civil war game.
- Met a guy named Jeff who talked to me for a while about savethechildren.org
- Headed to Pike Place Market
- Listened to a guy play “Oh, Chrismas Tree” on a saw. Oh, the irony.
- Got to throw a crab!
- Watched the sun set
- Met a one-armed guy named Elvis and gave him my remaining 57 cents in change.
-Browsed books at Elliot Bay Book Company
-Gave directions to a lost couple
- Had a peppermint mocha at the original Starbucks
- Tried out the Blackberry Storm. It’s absolute crap – the touchy-click screen thing feels cheap and the user interface is disappointing at best
-Talked to my parents on the phone. Happy 31st anniversary Mom and Dad!
And to follow all that fun up, I had pretty much the perfect workout in a really nice hotel gym.
- 30 minute run
- 15 minutes stair climb
- 15 minute elliptical
- 15 minute arm/shoulder weights
- 15 minute core workout
- 30 minute lap swim
- 15 minute hot tub soak
I feel good.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

on Thanksgiving, Jacob asked Aunt Lynn if she’d told you what time to come over for dinner, and she said that you were out of town. I thought it was sweet that Jacob wanted you there and I basically gave you a mental hug.
and calling Cafe Yumm ‘toothsome’ makes it sound crunchy. what did you get?
