So my track partner asked what I was working on today

that I'm "Born to Run". I'm not sure where this is going to lead me, I have a craving, an urge, or maybe it's just a wild hair

Yesterday was Bar-H.  And although it was scheduled as a XC race for me with a 1 hour tempo run, I was more happy doing what I did out there.  I was there to support Team Zoe Fitness and Zoe Fitness Athletes. Rich started the day with a Cat 1 race.  He went off at 9, I got there just in the nick of time, so I could get bottle directions.  I was glad.  He reminded me of his mantra, and off he went.  He came through transition, in good spirits

I am in so much pain right now I can no longer be vertical to the ground.  I must be horizontal.  I am weening off the medication.  I know some people like the stuff, I think it is very evil. I went to the dentist after work, it's gonna cost about 600 bucks for new teeth.  For the real new ones about 2200.  I didn't get new teeth today because with the dentists' help we discovered, if I got new teeth I wouldn't be able to put my straw in this

Time keeps on slipping into the future. Yesterday was my first brick workout of the season.  Had a little rendezvous with the purple couch.  My ride was slow.  It was off road on my SS, with my fork was bottoming out.  Will touch on more of this later.  The trail was wet in places, I had to walk quite a bit; between mechanicals, mud, and SS.  After 45 minutes I did some drills worked on some wheelies,  lifting the front end up, figure 8's and how low can I go.  Grabbed

What a weekend.  All skills.  Mike Heitz of the USA National Junior Team came down to Texas all the way from Colorado to inspire 11 of us from all over the country. He taught us skills, he taught us how to lead skill clinics.  It was awesome.  And, of course, I asked him about coming down for a mountain biking skills clinic.  He said he would love to, but his last helper knew all the in's and out's of mountain biking but wasn't much of a teacher.  This guy is
