12.15.2010 On a day like this
high of 76 degrees, my youngest has a fever. I had a ride scheduled at Twin Coves Park (not to mention all my clients). I will do my best to remember: "mandatory time off".

Running Pose 3
By running in a position of perfect balance, the runner wastes no energy in extraneous movements that only serve to correct balance. That is why it's imperative to spend so much time perfecting the running pose in the beginning. You must master the simplicity of the Running Pose before moving on to the intricacy of actually running.

The most freakish part of that, is I never had my other 2 shots of espresso today. Now that is freakish. Today I rode for just over an hour, I'm racing on Sunday. I am registered, I have a babysitter, and I am developing large amounts of boogers and a cough. Is that a virus or is that a different kind of race, go peak and see. I did get most of NS done on SS. I love SS. I would like to ride 2 laps tomorrow. I have got to get my shock dialed
I’m pretty sure this is fun
Otherwise, I don't think, he would keep doing it. :o. Justin is having a blast up in Washington racing cross. He just finished the regular season and will be racing the weekend in Portland Oregon. Good Luck, Justin!
In the Art of Running Pose
In the art of running Pose, the runner is perfectly balanced on his or her support. A direct line of the body goes from the head, through the shoulders and buttocks all the way to the ball of the foot that is contact with the ground. The heel of the support leg is slightly higher than the ball of the foot and may even lightly touch the ground, but the weight of the body always rests only on the front part of the foot and not on the toes.
