I could relate to a lot of what you said. Keep up the great work you are doing.

LSPE - Well done to both You & Tom - you are both an inspiration !!!

Can you ask Richard if he can send me one or two of his workouts, because his website won't ship to Australia.

Thanks, everybody, for the support. It means so much.

LB, I can send those to you myself if you want. They sell them at the studio. Just tell me which ones you want and we'll work it out! (Literally!)

Just bought a new bike!

My craigslist beater has served me well for 1800+ miles, but it's a 30 year old beast, everything is just a little off and, with the amount of riding I do, it requires constant tending to to keep things tight and aligned. It just isn't up to the task of a daily commuter.

So I decided it made sense to invest some money in something that I'm using so often. I ended up spending a little bit more than the pre-set budget I'd had in mind, but I think it was the right call. What I didn't want was the lowest end bike, which is where my budget was seeming to put me. And in the end I got a bike that's two steps up in quality at the price of one step up. It was by far the best bike I test rode today (and I rode a LOT of bikes) Can't wait to get it on the trail!

Very nice looking bike, GD! I'm sure you will be very happy with it!

Just got my review. Every bullet point was "exceeds" expectations. Comments were excellent and I've been told I will bet getting an increase. What or how much I have no idea, that info is coming from our Atlanta office at some point. Since my salary has not increased since 2006 I'm an optimist to think it will be something to make a difference and a realist enough to remember it probably won't.

It was nice to see all the nice comments on paper and get the back pat from my senior supervisor.

I'm impressed that an employer gave a good review! I was under the impression that most of the time they look for something to critique or they don't feel they're doing their job.

Good for you for getting a good review and a pending raise!!!
