Hitting the Wall

Published on Thursday, July 13th, 2006 at 2:43pm.

Back in my younger days I ran quite a bit. I might have even enjoyed it once in awhile. During 8th grade and my freshmen year of high school I ran cross country. We had some fun during practices, but I can’t really say that I enjoyed the running aspect of the sport. I ran the distance events during my freshmen year of high school and just hated it. (...)

Rack It Up

Published on Monday, March 21st, 2005 at 11:33am.

Just ordered a new bike rack to use with the hitch on my TrailBlazer. I decided to go with the Thule 996 - Expressway from Rack Attack which has some good deals right now. I can’t wait to get out on my bike again! (...)

Getting Ready

Published on Tuesday, March 15th, 2005 at 6:09pm.

The weather might not be cooperating, but I’m ready for summer. I can’t wait to get out on my bike and out on the golf course. Today I dropped my bike off at the shop for a tune-up and looked at a new bike rack to use with my hitch. (...)

Every Second Counts

Published on Tuesday, September 21st, 2004 at 5:38pm.

As I’ve said before, he is the greatest American story of our lifetime. After reading his book you get an understanding of what makes him tick. He doesn’t have anything to lose, so he gives everything he’s got in everything he does. He faced death, battled it head-on, and kicked it’s ass! Everything after that is a bonus. (...)

The best sports commercial ever. I couldn’t have said it better. I love that commercial. (...)

Lately…

Published on Saturday, July 17th, 2004 at 10:43pm.

I’ve had quite a few things going on. Somehow, things all happen at once. Today I did a little work on my new dedicated server, but I still need to wait for a few domains to transfer over to 1&1, where I’ve decided to keep all the domain registrations. (...)

Ever Kiss A Bee?

Published on Tuesday, July 13th, 2004 at 8:41pm.

I did today, tongue and everything! I was riding the bike and a big bug flew in my mouth. It took a couple of seconds to get where I could spit it out. You want to talk about gross! Shortly after, I realized the stinging sensation on my tongue. The bee wasn’t in there long, but it made good use of it’s time. (...)

Tour de France

Published on Wednesday, June 30th, 2004 at 10:42pm.

Every year I look forward to following the yellow jersey in the Tour de France. It’s amazing to watch the strategy and teamwork that goes into a 3 week bike race. I think it may be the most difficult event to complete in sports. 20 grueling stages up and down mountains, through wind and rain, ditching fans standing in the road. (...)

Workin’ It

Published on Tuesday, June 22nd, 2004 at 10:46pm.

Today was one of the best days at work that I’ve had in a long time. It flew by because of this, so that was an added bonus. About 2 months ago I was assigned the task of HEAT Administrator for our Help Desk. No added pay or job title, just another responsibility. HEAT is our call logging system, which communicates with an SQL server as the back-end. (...)

MTB Crash

Published on Sunday, June 20th, 2004 at 5:28pm.

I love mountain biking, but “full contact sport” takes on a whole new meaning when you bite the dust. I took a few crash photos for evidence. The bike seems to have survived without any damage. If anything, it now has character! (...)

Deflated

Published on Tuesday, June 8th, 2004 at 10:42pm.

First day out in the woods with the bike and I get a flat tired halfway through the trail..what luck :!: it was about a 2 mile hike back to the car, so I tried to run most of it, but it’s not all that easy while trying to steer a bike on your side. It didn’t help that it was over 90 degrees outside either. (...)

The Laziness Ends

Published on Saturday, June 5th, 2004 at 6:56pm.

You’re looking at my latest purchase. A Trek 4100 Mountain Bike. I’ve been trying to get myself to start running several times a week, but it just wasn’t happening. This bike will be the cure for my laziness. Mo and I went out to the Saginaw Valley Rail Trail and rode 11 or 12 miles. What a great workout! I’m dreading how my legs and back will feel tomorrow.
