Starting this week, I’m going to find out “How Much Does it Cost?” to do some of the popular (and not so popular) races around the globe.
This week is a race that just happened, the Boston Marathon. Known for its “heart break hill”, Boston is one of the oldest marathons in the [...]
One of my creations actually worked! Well I can’t take a lot of the credit, since I didn’t build it. But I did find a new use for a product!
What the heck am I talking about? An airless gel dispenser of course!
How does it work? Well you’ve probably all used a [...]
summer is here. how do i know you may ask? you can smell it in the air. bugs, buds, and flowers. all possible reasons. but no. see, as cyclists (which we all are) clad in spandex, or shorts, being in wide open spaces, out in the sun, sweating it out, were judged based on [...]
Wow what a week! After feeling like crap on Monday and Tuesday the body responded with a good day on Wednesday, ok on Thursday, bad Friday, great (but hard) Saturday and a recovery Sunday.

Nothing starts your day like breakfast.
I always consider the first meal of the day to be breakfast, whether it’s at 6:30 am or 1:15 in the afternoon (students require lots of sleep). On a day by day basis I usually eat cereal with [...]
I expected a little more (maybe a big screen TV). But hey, how many days out of the year do you think the guy trains inside? Besides swimming of course.
LMS
Woke up this morning feeling much better! The cure? Ice and an easy bike ride (~60mins of very easy pedaling). I don’t think I could win a race today but I could go for a long run (or ride).
Maybe next time I’ll try taking IB Profen and see if that helps.
Happy (Doggy [...]
