cue the barry white...

oliver has a bed...it's big and soft and, apparently...erotic? you see, oliver's bed is also his girlfriend. and let me tell you, last night our boy took another step towards being a man. it all started with a little biting...doesn't it always? then into wrestling...then into...well, let's just say that we had to seperate the two. down boy.

i had a really nice ride last night...a hard 1.5 hours. i felt fresh and fast--especially considering that i didn't ride on sunday and had driven almost 9 hours in just over 24 hours. hopefully that is a good sign for this weekend's tilt in eau claire...my hometown. seems like ec has a really good group of people doing great work on trails in the area. i'm really looking forward to this one.

next week i'm going to start running some, i need to get my legs ready for denmark...when i'll only be able to run. and, a very slow build up to autumn is necessary so i can do my fall running program...all to get ready for the big three-O adventures next year. 24 hrs solo mtb/26.2 miles under 3 hours running. seems daunting but definately doable. then there is only one major 'to do' left...the ironman. hmmm.

give me back my son!
