How long does it take to bike 60 miles? Well, Jay and I will tell you on May 14. We will be biking in the Clean Air Challenge 60 this year, on May 13, in support of the American Lung Association of Alaska.

This weekend I competed in my first squash tournament. Let's just say that the only thing I brought home was sore butt muscles. On the up side – I didn’t get skunked. Ignore the fact that I was seeded with an eight-point handicap, meaning I started all of my games leading 8-0.

So a friend and I started weight training yesterday. Keep in mind I haven't lifted an athletic finger since my last day on the track a year and a half ago. So of course it makes sense that I just plunge into my weight training workout exactly where I left off as a competitive college sprinter.

Needless to say, I am having trouble walking, bathing and feeding myself today.

In response to my muscular distress, I decided to go try the hydro massage at the gym.

Well here it is. Not that I promised it to anyone, or told anyone about it. For those on the technologically-challenged side of the fence, it may not look like much. But my new Web site uses a content management system called Drupal, which allows me to separate the content of my Web site from the design. So I never have to re-enter all the data in my site again when I do a redesign.
