I am trying to figure something out with my girlfriend. It's a long-distance relationship, and it hasn't been going all that well lately; I feel like she's distancing herself from me and I can't really blame her - this time we probably won't be able to meet for EIGHT MORE MONTHS. I have my studies, she has my studies, and the fact that she is on the other side of the Atlantic doesn't help things. Anyway, I also want to pick up biking again. I haven't been on my bike (an old and atrocious piece of hardware) in the past couple of weeks, and I can feel that it's either that, or running (shoutout to flac), and I don't like running in the autumn. It's way too chilly in the morning, and the lungs hurt from the cold air. Perhaps I'm just doing something wrong, I'm not sure.
