Below you will find what was supposed to be my goals for 2011.  Due to a foot injury two of the five events will go uncontested.  The Osbaldy and the Cle Elum Ridge 50k’s are out.  The others are still a go so I guess it’s now a 3×50. So what happen to the foot?  That’s a good question.  After [...]

(about me and other things) Knowing is half the battle…. – I learned to drive on a stick – I believe baseball players are a bunch of over paid boys – I love pizza – I’ve been racing bicycles for over 21 years – The price of a gallon of milk in 1910 was 32 cents – If I could [...]

The other day my mother wrote to me about a hike she did at the Tonto National Monument while on vacation in Arizona.  My mother is not the athlete I am. Until recently she’s lead the typical American life of eating out too much and not getting enough exercise, if any.  That was until a year or so ago when [...]

So it appears I hurt my foot on yesterdays 9 miler.  It didn’t hurt at all during or even after the run but when I woke up it hurt.  It’s not a sharp pain but a dull one.  Today I played a round of disc golf and that was enough to make it more sore.  Below is yesterdays run: If [...]

I’ve decided to start a new Friday tradition and recap what I’ve done as far as exercise goes for the week.  My training schedule is Monday through Sunday but these recaps will be Saturday through Friday.  This is one, to confuse you, while keeping myself shrouded in mystery and two, because Friday is my off day and I have time [...]

Each prize has gotten larger so I’m hoping the next will be Mega Millions. We’ll have to wait and see.  For now here is my [...]
