Wow I never woulda thunk it. Yet here I am...laying in a kickass feather mattress bed worried that if I don't set this alarm, I won't actually wake up until next week sometime. Jesus you always hear about those people who sleep constantly, but don't believe it until you sleep on the types of beds they probably sleep in. To be fair, I've stayed in just about ever hotel chain there is in America and the brands under the Westin name take the cake...but even those don't compare to this thing (I'm in my parents house FYI).
Mongolian Food = Procured
Clean Air = Breathing
Biking = FAN FUCKING TASTIC
Am out riding with my dad and Jim (resident 'guy who can get ya the good price on Treks'). We went to Sunderbruch (sp?) Park, which is basically this mountain bike park the city of Davenport has built. So that means a lot of artificial yet natural elements are in this course. Some of those are a little weird to get the hang of...like the stumps they make hills out of and launches that occur right after an immediate turn. But overall, it's the business. If I had to compare what's going on here to Palos, I'd say this isn't as vast as Palos, but it has a wider variety of trail elements. Suffice to say, its an awesome collection of runs.
We're going out again tomorrow in the afternoon. So in the spirit of keeping myself from being lazy, I'll probably go for a run tomorrow am (I brought all my running gear).
Props to everyone who ran the trials today and good luck to the NYC marathoners tomorrow.
Oh...and fuck yeah Navy!
