Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Out of Shape...

Well, it's been a little while. Turns out something has happened with my work computer and it's not posting my blog. I had a funny one that I will try to recount now but I'm sure it won't be as good as the original. I'm getting a new laptop at work next week so hopefully I'll be able to post from there which makes it easier to post regularly.

Mtn Biking with Matt = expect the unexpected
Mtn Biking with Ryan = at least your car won't be stolen

I went mtn. biking with Matt and Ryan over a week ago. What an experience! We started up the trail and we all needed a brief rest about 5 minutes into it. After that I started up the mtn and didn't look back. About 10 minutes later I stopped to wait for the others. Matt soon arrived and we had a break. Then Matt wanted to go...I said we should wait for Ryan but Matt said he was already down the mountain. Turns out he was a little tired. So we continued.

After 30 minutes I started down the mountain and met Matt climbing the trail. We turned and started down. I decided to stop and wait for Matt a few minutes later to make sure he hadn't flew off the side of the mountain. NO MATT! Where is he? After 15 minutes and afraid he'd been 'jumped' by a Mountain Lion I started UP the hill for the second time. Soon enough Matt rounds the corner and exclaims "Flat Tire!" Neither of us has a pump but we know that Ryan does...who happens to be providing Auto Security and the bottom of the hill. I decide to head down and get the pump. At the bottom I find Ryan on lookout for Polynesian carjackers. Then I start up the hill for the THIRD time! Ryan notices that this time it's easier as he's now warmed up (adrenaline from the Polynesian possibilities).

Anyway we find Matt...Ryan and I fix his tire and we're done for the day with no other incidents.

I start official training for August 18th on May 14th (Monday). I think that I've got a solid plan and just need to keep to the schedule and start to eat a little better to lose the excess lb's.

I'll do a better job updating. A little more than three months until race day.
