Amazing people

It never ceases to amaze me. A couple if years ago, when there was 100lbs more of me,


I would see someone running down the road and think "Why?" Now I know why. Well, at least I think I do. They love it. I know I for one really do. Is it hard to go out sometime (especially in the cold Wisconsin weather)


you bet. But I do, at least most of the time. Running has led to cycling and that to doing a Duathlon in the very near future. You would think athletes are a bit snobby or even snotty. Quite the contrary actually. I have met many of the above and have never been laughed at because I could only run at a 11 minute pace, or bike at 13-14 miles per hour (I am faster than those times now...we only get faster with time and hard work). I have come to know many awesome athletes through twitter, podcasts and the Daily Mile. You all are truly great at what you do and I really look forward to continuing my learning of our sports. Thank you!

  2. Fabulous! I started bicycling a year and a half ago. I originally thought that athlete types would be snobby/snotty and have been happy to discover the opposite is true!
