Phil’s Aunt Laure who got into road biking about 2-3 years ago wanted to do her first Century (100 miles) bike ride and she chose Shiner G.A.S.P. (Great Austin to Shiner Pedal).

(From left to right) Me, my cousin Chad, my sister Allison and Michael I remember when I was little, my best friend was Michael. We would play together all the time. In fact, he would call my house so often that my parents actually got rid of our answering machine (remember those?) because every . . . → Read More: “Wanna Go Ride Bikes?” This race has become a staple in my schedule the last few years (2011 Race Report). I like it because it focuses me on the 10K distance with a little more than a month before Memphis in May, plus it is very flat which also allows for PR’s. This year was no exception. I wasn’t . . . → Read More: Capital City Classic 10K 2012 Of course I’d like to be faster, but who doesn’t? This isn’t enough though.

I’ll spare you (or maybe I’m actually sparing myself) from all the details of the ride, but many of the . . . → Read More: Spring Cleaning You’ve been knocking down my doors, harassing me on facebook and chasing me down the street! You all want to know, what’s next? Well, since the LIVESTRONG Austin Half Marathon, I’ve been pretty busy, but not with training.
