Today I reached a new milestone since we returned to Ames. I was invited to play in a pickup game of basketball at the Lied Rec Center on campus while we were there getting in some exercise. I've been working on my jump shot during most of our visits to the rec, and I was quickly reminded that shooting while running around and having someone defend you is quite a bit more challenging than shooting the ball while standing still all by yourself (which can be challenging enough). I played with four Chinese guys and a Latino, had a good time, got terribly winded, and left feeling motivated to build up my endurance. That would probably be a good thing for RAGBRAI preparations as well...
Oh, and the lock in the picture is what we use to secure our belongings while working out at the rec. There, I worked the picture in!
