Nothing too exciting here in Mike world..Didn’t ride, didn’t run, didn’t do anything except enter receipts into quicken for the 10 day vacation I was just on and then try to reconcile all the accounts.  Good times.
I don’t know what is going on for this weekend but I certainly need to get out and do [...]

Both yesterday and this morning I tried to get up early and run.  I set the alarm for 6:45.  The first time I remember hearing it both days is 8.  For some reason, I am just not a morning person.
Yesterday I didn’t do much in terms of exercise.  We took the puppy for a walk [...]

I originally wanted to write a long post about my trip but to be honest, I don’t have it in me.  I spent the past 4 or 5 hours fighting with my computer to try and get my GPS working right and also my photos uploaded to the site.  Neither of them are currently working [...]

WOW, it has been quite some time since I made a post and there are some good reasons for that.  First, lets talk about the 24 hour race.

Instead of riding yesterday, we decided to watch the movie 24 solo.  I must say, it was one of the best mountain bike movies I have seen to date.  It followed Chris through some of his early season races and finished up with the 2006 24 Hour World Championship.  Great camera work, fantastic story, absolutely [...]

No riding yesterday even though I wanted to.  My mind couldn’t take it. I walked out the door to ride the same 2 trails I always do and my mind stopped me and said “nope….you aren’t doing it.”  So instead, Kelly, myself and our trusty little companion, Campy, took the top off the jeep and [...]

WOW, it is Thursday already. Time flies by when having fun. Onto the workouts. Friday went on a quick 20 mile warm up and did a hill repeat on Cathedral Ledge. Quite the hill. Quick note, before you decide and make up your mind on doing a hill workout, make [...]
