SUPER BOWL RIDE
Had the annual super bowl rid from Grapevine , TX. to Downtown Dallas yesterday....a beautiful day to ride with 100s of your closest friends, I actually got a little sun burn on my face....

Rode a lot this weekend!....felt great! I thought I'd feel like crap but I just have to work a little
on getting my riding legs back and it will be allllll good....:)
can't wait for summer!

Ok....had my winter break, took 3 weeks off the bike, chilled for a while, now it's time to hit the bike hard!....starting this weekend....gotta burn off the turkey day and Christmas weight...:)

Loooove my fireplace...

In between taking my Mom on shopping sprees to find the best deals in Texas while she's here foe Christmas, I'm spending most of my time off either in front of this or in the kitchen cooking
for the Family, Nana & Ryan are gonna make cookies for the neighbors this morning....and yes....I'm taking a break from training.... I'm going to TRY to do nothing for a whole week!!...:)

Gonna try something new this year, instead of the MS 150 Going to do the Texas tough this year...
The TX TOUGH Tour is a pledge fund-raiser created exclusively to raise money for Children's Medical Center in Dallas.....Plus it's more of a challenge than the 150....:)

Marathon Day...

Did the whit Rock this morning , went well...popped a few anti inflamatories before the start and the Bursitis was bareable for most of the run, gonna work on some strength training for it now. I guess I only have 2 complints about the 08 WR. One, it was a crouded run, dodging runners all the way up to mile 10, and it was too damn hot!!...other than that it was fun as usual and I'll be back next year!

I've started my Tri training, working on my weakest sport right now...swimming. I've recruited a coach for this, a good friend of mine Bruce Smith...He's like a freakn dolphin in the water and is basically RE-teaching me to swim efficiently, anyone can learn to swim but using the correct techniques is the key to speed and not killing yourself in the first leg of a Tri....

I went to see my doc on Friday to see whats up with my leg and...well.here ya have it...

A common spot for bursitis is on the side of the hip. Here a large tendon passes over the bony bump on the side of the hip. The bony bump is called the greater trochanter. Inflammation in the bursa between the tendon and the greater trochanter is called trochanteric bursitis. This problem is common in older individuals. It may also occur in younger patients who are extremely active in exercises such as walking, running, or biking. Not something I need 35 days before the White rock...so...I'm resting for one more week to see if it gets better...hope it does, I've trained awful hard to have this take me out of the race...we'll see.....
