I am pleased to announce that I have successfully completed 55 years of life, and am rewarding myself with a nice flat iron steak, frenched green beans, rice with cheese and broccoli. If I knew I was going to be around this long, I’d have popped for the extended protection plan.

So far this week I’ve ridden 55 miles on the bicycles, so I’m not feeling guilty about dinner tonight at all.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled discourse.

I don’t think your should feel guilty about that meal. Well balanced, keep the portions under control. You’re good to go.

I’ve only competed 52 yrs of life, but I have already run 70 miles this week and I have a 30 mile run scheduled for tomorrow. It is a bit of an accounting gimmick (I had to move my weekly long run up one day, so I will have two long runs in the same week), but all the same; I will log 100 miles on my feet this week for the first time in my life.

Many of my “healthy/clean” eating friends (no sugar, not meat ….) can’t run to the end of the block.

PS cycling is a great great form of exercise.

PS I just wish I could get the booze under control, but I do like whiskey and beer.
