“Change is good”

October 11th, 2007

I read this a couple days ago but forgot to post it.  So what if I am a few days behind.
It seems as if American George Hincapie is headed over to ride the magenta colors..

My legs hurt thinking about it.

Holy a lot of running Batman. To even enter the race, you must prove you raced some 100 miles and some 50 miles. It just isn’t an entry fee of $1000, but you need to send in a resume as well as just to be considered.  Seems as if I need to do [...]

Unscheduled rest day

October 10th, 2007

I did nothing today and for some strange reason, I am ok with that.  OK, its not that I did nothing, I just didn’t run.  I came home from work, did a little cleaning up around the house and started the build on my cross bike for this weekend.  I am not 100% done with [...]

Long Weekend

October 9th, 2007

This weekend we took a little trip up to Bar Harbor for the weekend for a friends wedding.  It certainly was a nice time to go visit.  Sure, the ride sucked because of TONS of people heading in the same direction, but once we were there, it was quite nice.  Friday was used up driving [...]

Struggling with some things…

October 4th, 2007

Today’s plan was for 3.5 miles. I felt good, but according to my pace, not as good as I have been in past runs. I am fine with that. I am still in the beginning of my training. The stats are 3.73 miles in 33.30 min with a pace of 8.58 [...]

The new Disco/Astana Team

October 4th, 2007

Seems as if the boys form Disco are taking their talent and heading over to the Croatian Astana Team.  Johan Bruyneel is taking young gun Alberto Contador (2007 Tour Champ) and it also seems that Levi Leipheimer will be joining as well.
More on it at Velonews.

Back to the road bike

October 4th, 2007

Last night was a cross training session so I grabbed the road bike and went out.  After about 10 minutes on the bike, I was sick of riding.  No idea why.  For years, I chose the road bike over the mountain bike but I think with all the mountain bike training I did for the [...]

Last night I went for the longest scheduled run in this training program, 5 miles.  I wasn’t really looking forward to it.  It has been a couple days since I have done anything, it was cold, it looked like rain and I just wasn’t “feeling it”.  Either way, I went out and did what needed [...]

Back home from Vegas

October 2nd, 2007

Well, I am back from Vegas and I must say thank goodness.  Vegas is an alright town to be in, but it really is no fun when you have to work the entire time.  From 6 am until about 9pm, I am under the Michelin corporation umbrella and am always busy with them between breakfast, [...]
