| History |
| I started running in January of 2004 to get in shape. I had gained too much weight and felt terrible. I was able to run my first 5K 3 months later. 2 years later and 50 lbs lighter, I have continued to push for greater goals and have run 5 marathons and I am training for an Iron distance triathlon now. Everyday I wake up with a positive attitude towards life, training and my future. |

Sorry for my absence for the past week. Life has been kinda wierd and crazy.
Well the weather outside is ------COLD, VERY COLD. The winter blast brought a blast of cold air to our region with about 6 inches of snow at my house. I am hoping to take delivery of a snowmobile anytime now. Yeah, I know, not very physically demanding - but WOW, what a lot of fun.
Let me get back to my ride last Thursday. I took Apollo, Quintana Roo, on a 60 mile bike ride. Everything was going great on the ride, it was a little chilly out for short sleeves and shorts but I was doing OK. About mile 15 I flated. The rear wheel. I pulled off to the side of the road and sat there resting for a few. Getting the tire off was a breeze, I found the hole and patched it. Got everthing back together again and found out the patch did not hold. So I just went ahead and put my spare tire on. I have a small frame pump and it took forever to get the tire up to pressure. Does anyone have any ideas on a better way to fill tires up to pressure out on the road without a floor pump? Next time I will try a CO2 cartridge and see if that gets it up to pressure. Anyway I got pretty discusted and just headed back into town after that. The trip in was a lot harder because of the strong headwind, but I got into to town in a short time and felt great.
The rest of the week I have been mostly running in the mornings and cycling on my trainer at night. Yesterday I got in a short swim session. It was snowing pretty hard outside and the road were a mess so there was no-one else in the pool. Otherwise it has been a pretty uneventful week. Ciao |
