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 [...]

Landis+doping=done cycling for 4 years
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 [...]
Another 3 miler checked off the list
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 [...]
Endurance running?? Yeah, I got your endurance running right here..
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 [...]
Cross 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 [...]
In the quest for new shoes..
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 [...]
Congrats to me…..and them…
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…
The Sylvania 300
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 [...]
24 Hour Race pictures added
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 [...]
Busy day
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 [...]
