Sometimes I'm attracted to lyrics/music that just gets literally is real to my current life. I was wandering today in the beautiful east bay. I spent hours here today training. Just rolling through the gentle hills, looking at farmland, vineyards and vistas.
Little wanderer gently...
Right before my wife left overseas we were talking about our workout area. She is a swimmer but uses weights with a bench and does stuff on a balance ball. The kids use the treadmill for walking and running. And obviously I have the trainers for my bicycles. Earlier in the year my wife allowed...
The average person sees Morrissey for who he really is, as a performer who's career included being the lead singer of the smiths. They don't know anything beyond the surface about him other than how they have heard the music and lyrics. I would argue that the lyrics are morrissey's only legacy...
One day of who I am. I Got up, showered, had breakfast, packed my gear into the
car, raced my bike with my team(got a podium), came home, showered, took a 25
minute nap, went and got a hour and half massage, made some spare keys at OSH,
came home, had dinner, and now relaxing with the...
advance artwork, lol.
I remember clicking on a link, that went to this photograph and a person taking it with the knowledge that it was seemingly a meat free event, due to the insistence of morrissey. I thought morrissey was mocked by those meat eaters when morrissey thought he had...
I blame morrissey, he must responsible for what happened, lulz. He's just jealous, thats all. Perfect song for the day.
But seriously, this was a very fast technical downtown course. This was a mechanical issue not a handling issue. This was the last corner and 250 meters before the finish. I...
Summertime is always my leanest. I start seeing deep cuts of plating and separated muscle. My pre-summer testing has shown fantastic results at my goal lower weight. At 167.5lbs I am at 5.41% body fat. I am holding the same race weight power and only lost a little from my sprint. This means that...
This picture is of the last time I will see my wife and kids until the end of August. It is early June and this moment is well rehearsed.
We have family that resides in, at this moment, four different countries. As my career now is firmly based in the US, I will not live abroad until I...
My wife (then GF) and I were walking in golden gate park. We were young, dating and holding hands. We saw an older couple sitting on a park bench. They were close to each other and holding hands. I caught eye contact with the man who must have been fifty years my senior. He smiled at me like he...
So my wife got me a new videocam for my bike. It is very compact and I can mount it to the bike to record the racing and rides.
It got me thinking about all the video we take. This was a wonderful clip of our winter adventure. It was so "us" with that song playing in the background. The...
I just realized I did not blog up the last day of our Christmas break camping trip.
We spent the day hiking in a cool canyon. We really like looking at the layers of rocks and formations.
Again the trusty multi tool saves the day getting off a difficult filter off the...
We took the kids to a glass blowing class. They start them out with just learning the process and working and coloring the glass. They made some eggs for Easter. It is pretty cool what you can make with glass.
Or, call me red, burnt, part pale, but not pale. You can still peg me as morbid if you must. Wtf was I thinking. I went on my long training ride today and forgot to put on sunscreen. I am pretty white, so I do burn easily. Sheesh, this happens at least once a year. At this moment, as I take...
You know my wife is pretty good on the hall passes sometimes. I had some friends invite me up to the city for lunch. We went to north beach (I love this area). Found an Italian place, go figure, and had a wonderful lunch.
I joked how messy we had been while eating. The table and floor looked...
As you may remember I hired a second coach last October. I saw him for the last time today. I weighed 172lbs this morning and very happy with the results. He has really been a great addition to my cycling coaches training program. This coach just ripped my core to shreds over this winter. He...
I try to find at least one piece of beauty in the world around me each day. Everything does not go my way at every moment. No matter the muck of the day, there are beautiful moments. Sometimes I am lucky and I see it all day. Sometimes it is fleeting, captured only the second I saw it. But I am...
Talk time for my son and I tonight consisted of us going over our alotted time and us scurrying when my wife came in and gently said its bed time for both of us.
We were playing with a laser in his room and making all kinds of gyroscoping designs. You could see it with your eyes as a...
"A sprinter who can climb is dangerous". This was the matter of fact statement from my coach. We sat down last year and talked about the great season I had and what may be next years goals. You see, I am a sprinter, but I can really suffer on the hills in some races. If you can't make it over...
A relaxed evening. This kids are showered and we are hanging out before bed. My wife shows me and my daughter a picture of someone who had streamed light in a dark area. It was spectacular and fun looking. Still getting to know my new camera I said, I think we can do that.
We all streamed...
"...Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a...
