Wow, what a week for me. As I've detailed in the recent months, I had knee surgery in October. Therefore, I didn't really get an opportunity to start riding my bike until around November 10th or so. I have steadily been ramping up my riding since then, and last week I got in 260 miles of riding (of course I was on vacation at the beach). I took it easy for the most part and just tried to get in a lot of miles. I was pleased with the outcome--including the status of my knees. I am back swimming this week--YIKES!! The swimming is going to take longer than the cycling just because I'm not as good at it.
On another note, I have dedicated to reading each night for 15 minutes or so. I don't normally enjoy reading, but I NEED to do it. I know other people with fantastic vocabularies (including my dad and brothers), and I think part of it comes from reading. I'm currently reading a John Grisham book, The Rainmaker. It's interesting so far (only 400 more pages to go). :)

Reading is a great hobby. I know most people hate it, but it is a great release for stress of your day and as you said, it helps your vocabulary.
I think you're a psycho with your cycling. I'm still wanting to know if you and Barrett are planning on that big race.
congrats on getting back into cycling...i'm running a half on sunday...noticed i said "running" and not "racing"...i'm trying to get back into riding a little bit at a time. i'm aiming to get into triathlon training as a total body/stress relief workout regimen without the racing since i don't really have that much time to go to races...i just figure triathlon training is the best thing i can do to stay in shape and stay away from the john brown gym! i hate lifting weights...mostly because i look like i belong around the weights...kind of like a
