Awesome 65 miles up to the top of Ceasars Head Mountain. Lots of climbing and downhills. One hill... Hickory Nut Gorge had a 17% grade. Yeah Baby!! It was cold but we had fun.
This was a great start to the 2006 biking season.

Knee Therapy Session #2
Had my second therapy session today.
The first one I went to I had on my workout shorts, shirt and running shoes but all we did was little movements of contracting the quads or hams and then relaxing. Simple stuff that you could do just laying in a bed.
So I went there today thinking we will not do much I will just wear my jeans, shirt and casual shoes.
It turned out I was out of breath and had worked up a sweat. It was really good but I was suprised I would get a good workout. One of things I really had fun with was this balancing board that you stand on and try to balance it while you are doing knee sqauts. It was cool because you have to tense every muscle in your body to stay balanced...even my abs got a workout. I would not mind having one of those boards to train with regularly.
I have two more sessions next week.
This is my homework:
Shotguns on steps 5-10 15 sec. intervals 2xday
Stepup/downs 3 sets 10 2xday
Lunges 3 sets 10 2xday
Straight leg raises 3 sets 15 2xday.

Attitude
ATTITUDE
by Charles Swindoll
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude...
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.
