A master My bike is out

The weather finally got warm enough to pull the bike out of the basement. this is following last weeks freakish 15cm of snow. so I've been able to do my cardio outside the gym, thank god. I hate doing cardio at the gym. the only good thing about it is that you get to watch all the girls exercising. :) but the downside is that its far too hot in the gym, and there's no breeze to evaporate your sweat.

I've been trying to go to the gym 5 days a week to lose some weight. its working so far. i suppose i should start tracking how much I've lost, but I've been at for 3 or 4 weeks and I'm happy with the results.

I tried doing the gym buddy thing, but it never really works out. schedule conflicts, work, laziness, sick days. you end up waiting for the other person way too much. its cool when you have someone to talk to, but you should never end up missing a session because of someone else's schedule.

It went up to 22 yesterday in ottawa, so i decided i'd spend the day out taking some photographs. so i walked all around downtown looking for shots. found some good grafitti, a couple of small blooms, some interesting buildings, and a white water kayak compo. after all that snapping, I decided it was time to upgrade to a newer digital rebel. so i stopped in at henrys and got the XTi. I should be able to sell off my old rebel no problem, so the upgrade won't cost so much. the new one is nice, has automatic sensor cleaning, 10mp resolution, more AF points, lower noise sensor at high ISO, and faster continuous drive mode at 3 FPS.

pics are up on flickr.
