1 cent a day

George commutes over the bridge using this electric hub and says he spends a penny in electricity a day. I say I use 0 cents a day. Ken is digging out glass from his tire.  Damn bridge path is littered.

TeamCommute power.  Me, Ian, and Mark Schroeder would make a good team.

McPalin sticker....

...on a Hummer? Imaginative. Actually Palin didn't figure into the sticker. Think they're over the VPILF.

TO conflagrations

Glad to see things have calmed down over at TO.  Now, first of all I'll destroy anyone that tries to reignite the debate itself on my blog here.  I mostly just want to say it's a great bunch of people with some volatile personalities.  And it's a 'club', though Team is in the title of the club, don't be fooled.  Once you give into the 'club' definition, its pretty darn successful.

Rock on TO guys and gals.  As Tom emailed me: I'm still TO at heart, if not at the finish line.  I added that last phrase myself, but it worked I think.  Hopefully see you out at the Port again soon on the fixie.  Been taking care of business with family and home.

Blog deficiency, try to make up with running...

I have not done my blogging duty.  Haven't been riding the bike much.  What have I been up to?  Redecorating and Running, Reminiscing (I made up the last one to make it three R's).

Been running pretty well on the weekends, doing my 10 mile route around Lake Chabot.  It's a really nice trail, 1/3 asphalt, 1/3 firetrails, 1/3 single track.  My first time doing the route a month ago, the crazies were out doing a 50 mile run.  You know when your running mechanics are falling apart and you're wearing a backpack that maybe you're running too far.

I talk to some runners at the finish, cause I didn't immediately know the distance though the death masks gave away some kind of 'ultra'.  I make the mistake of commenting that I just did my (small) 10 mile run to which this runner says: 'Don't worry, you'll get better...'.  Endeavor to improve.  Thanks.

I think you should only run as far as you keep running at a certain pace.  Otherwise you're dragging your legs, leading to more injuries and generally less enjoyment.  We have an unfortunate approach to running in the country these days.  It's binary: you either run a marathon or you don't run at all.  With that philosophy people are less likely to keep it up as a healthy life style, opting instead for a six month stint and the honor of saying they've finished one.
