It's good to be here one year later. We had quite a party last night with 40 or so friends and family members. Most of us drank too much and ate too much cheese too. We served salad and had plenty of healthy snacks - I'm pretty sure I ate healthy, right? And red wine is good for you but I think the recommended dose for men is two glasses per day, not ten glasses at one party - I guess you could say it was only five glasses per day counting both Saturday and Sunday since were up well past midnight.
I had an awesome bike ride yesterday morning. 44 miles with a few rolling hills. I pushed it to the max most of the time. Damn it felt good. I averaged around 22 miles an hour most of the time. I was on my standard road bike and stayed mostly in what I call my "aero position" with my hands on the top of the brake hoods, arms parallel to the ground and body low, with occasional drooling letting me know I'm working hard.

Planning to run trails today. Starting at Wildwood and 53rd and heading North. It will be awesome that's for sure. We've got light rain here in Portland today so the trails should be perfect.
One year anniversaries require goal setting, right? Yes, of course they do, Steve. And yes Steve, you are still too fat and too slow. I've been thinking a lot lately about my weight and how I really need an event to help me focus, train consistently, eat better, get faster and lose a few pounds. I'm a goal-oriented guy and that's how I roll. I was thinking would run a marathon this Fall but I've decided instead to do a triathlon. I am going to start with an Olympic distance event with the "goal" of doing a half ironman as soon as I am ready.
So that's the one year report. All good. New goals. Lovin' Life!
