Obviously my working out started before 9/6/2007, but I didn't start capturing the data until I built this Web site. And I am not exactly sure what good the information is... unless it makes Dr. Josh feel guilty and "encourages" him to get into the gym...
Anyway... |

Bike first, changed shoes, ran.
MP was finally officially open to mountain bikes, so I rode more of the aggressive trails. What a mess they've become. Erosion is pretty bad... roots roots roots. And my bike keeps jumping gears on the rear derailer... will drop it off at |
