Always, Always, ALWAYS Wear Your Helmet!

Stories like this one have me convinced that 1) miracles happen, 2) science/engineering is as good as miracles, and 3) ALWAYS wear your helmet! Ride safe!

Who Knew There Were So Many Pink Parts Out There?

I saw this on BlueCollarMTB and thought I'd share:

"Speedgoat Bicycles is back for another go around of the famed all-pink bicycle raffle. For 2007 the bike is no joke - a BMC Fourstroke02 featuring custom pink parts from Fox, Chris King, Hope, Thomson, Oury, RaceFace, and Velocity. Speedgoat rounds out the build with SRAM X.0 and a host of other parts, along with their excellent mechanical skill of course.

The best part - tickets are $10 each, you can purchase as many as you want, and every last penny going to the Breast Cancer Fund. Thats a pretty good deal all around."

Marathon Training Update - May 15

Last Thursday, the day after registration began, I officially signed up for the Marine Corp Marathon. I'd been looking forward to signing up since I started - it would officially commit me to the race and I was ready to officially commit. Of course, I completely flaked it and forgot. It struck me like lightning on my Thursday morning run with Cali. She finished filling out the form for me while I showered and I was entered by the time I left for work. Total cost so far: $175 and approx. 20 hours.

Cali and I both had good runs last Saturday. Although I still feel slow, I'm feeling better and better during the longer distances. It's good to make progress!

In other news, today was the first time since I started training that I overslept. Ugh. I can make it up tomorrow, but I'm still bummed...
