So I was reading Dave Zabriskies website earlier and I came across a couple of funny things but this one stuck out:

"Good to see Iron Man raking it in at the box office. I wish Marvel would realized that they have more than enough money to sponsor a bike team and step up as our title sponsor. Everyone could be a different character with custom clothing and bikes. We could probably pull off the reality TV thing more easily this way as every guy could assume the personality of a character – now that'd be good TV. And really, what's real about reality TV anyway" Dave Zabriskie

Now that's a good idea.

I hope all the mothers out there had a great Mothers Day!

I have been reading Bowerman And The Men Of Oregon. Man, what a great read. This book should be read by any sports fanatic. For people who don't know who Bill Bowerman is check it out here.

Oh! I have been running a ton and bike alittle. Legs have been feeling good. I hope to see some people out on the roads.

This guys is the man. Check out his blog and look at his weekly mileage.

Well, Twilight is next weekend. Am I racing you might ask. My response is...no. But I will definetly have enough beer while I am watching it. I haven't missed a Twilight since my first appearance in 2001. Who is coming?

I did ride my cross bike today. I just rode to the shop and back. Its just over 10 miles round trip or 16.09km. Km's sounds better.

The shop has been hectic, a good hectic at that. Lots of people enjoying their new rides and lots more getting old bikes repaired. One would think that after many of years of people pulling old bikes out of sheds that one day we would fix them all. But nope everyday I see someone pulling it out of their truck and either dragging or carrying it in.

Well that's it for now. Hammer products have arrived. More details will follow. Must get ready for early, early am run tomorrow.

Thanks for reading!

PERRY DOGWOOD 5K

My son Caden won his first award yesterday morning at the Perry Dogwood 5k. It was his first race. I have been running with Caden once or twice a week just to get used to running with a stroller. It is pretty hard work. Headwinds are difficult as well as hills but it makes a 5k a tad more interesting. My legs felt surprisingly good after feeling sluggish the day before b/c of a track run that turned into a speed session on Tuesday.

Caden and I finished with a time of 20:22 (that was on my Polar S625X). After reading my data on the monitor my avg. HR was 179 and my max HR was 197. Based on that I went pretty hard. Based on the splits on the course I was pretty much even on my miles. I have been working on even splits getting ready for the Stumpjump 50k in October. Slow and steady is was I have been doing. These 5k's are just for fun. I believe I will be doing the Run 4 Missions 5k on May 3 in Macon. I might do it solo just to see how I am progressing on speed. Then on May 31 is the XTERRA trail race at Dauset.

Thanks for reading! By the way I have not turned a pedal in anger since March 16. By not riding I have not had as many problems with my hiatel hernia.

My next post will be about Hammer Nutrition and I why I think it wokrs.
