Whoops

Damn, it has been a while since I've updated this thing. Lets see... bonked out on the tour de benzie at mile eighty due to hip problems, struggled through July riding very little but running more. Yesterday started the first day of my new goal: ride or run every single day. Got 22 miles on the Musketawa trail and finally felt good on two wheels. Took a while to break my legs in but when I did I felt like I could fly. Tried out riding with an iPod and now I don't know why I haven't tried it before. Need to invest in a more secure pair of headphones but otherwise it was amazing. Yesterday was the hottest day of the year thus far so I waited as long as I could to get out and ended up on the trail at about 8pm. Struggled to maintain a steady pace through the first 12 or 13 miles but on the return trip I exceeded speeds of 23mph consistently. Today is supposed to be another scorcher so I'll hold off running for as long as possible. When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I'm only goin to the top of the hill...
