First of all, I must say I am getting sick of Jo Pa and PSU football already. OK, I am not sick of it, but Penn State really does need to get a quarterback. Anthony Morelli just isn’t getting the job done. After 2 years of him blowing game after game, you [...]

It seems as if the USADA has proved that Floyd Landis did indeed cheat during the 2006 Tour de France posting an 11 to 1 testosterone-to-epitestosterone (normal range is 4 to 1). Landis is the first tour champ in over 100 years to be stripped of the title. Quite a shame.  He was [...]

Tonight after work, I headed down to Olympia sports and picked myself up a new pair of running shoes.  I am now the proud owner of some Asics Gel-Nimbus VIIII.  I laced em up, put them on and went out on the run.  Seemed like the normal run, nothing to special except for the fact [...]

The Transrockies Run…goodness gracious.  5 stages, 5 days, 125 miles, with racing altitudes reaching over 12,000 feet in some of Colorado’s most beautiful mountains.  Today is day 5 and I have been following the race reports for all 4 days so far.  Quite the race I must say.  Give me a couple years of training [...]

Today’s training plan called for either a 2 mile run or cross training.  Since I am entering some cyclocross races in the upcoming weeks, it is crucial that I still ride the bike, so that is what I did.  A group of 4 got together and decided to shuttle the Red Tail Trail.  I have [...]

After talking with some folks, I have decided that I need to get me some quality running shoes.  Sure, I have top notch trail running shoes, but that isn’t what I really need to run on the pavement.  I hit the internet with a vengeance.  I did all kinds of searching and reading on all [...]

Well, they have made it official and it seems as if I am going to be an uncle.  I have to start planning what I will be teaching the young one…

Yesterday was the big NASCAR race down in Louden, NH and it was one heck of a good time.  This was both kelly’s and my first Nascar race and we had a great time hanging out all day, taking in the sights and sounds of race day.  We got there about 7:30 am, got a [...]

I forgot to mention that the other night I added the 24 hour race pictures.  Check em out when you get a chance.  Some of them are good.  I must say I like the bags under my eyes on this one.  It was taken at about 6am as the sun was coming up and we [...]

Today was quite a busy day.  It started of by sitting around for the better part of the morning watching tv.  When the rain decided to stop, I went out for the 4 mile run that I had planned for the after noon.  The stats are: 4.44 miles in 41.53 minutes with a pace of [...]
