August Recap

I know…  we are already 1 week into September but…

 

 

Another month spent just exercising and being active…

 

 

I still have a few little injuries that haven't remedied themselves but…  then again I'm not 23 years old anymore.

 

It's good to feel some cycling fitness return, and I know like Eddy Merckx said if I "ride lots" I will continue to improve.

 

I read a couple of books:

 

 

As with anything written by Pat Conroy, it was excellent.  I had actually first read the book when I was about 18.  Interesting to read the book again with the experience of fatherhood as well as that of a son.

 

I also read "Calico Joe"

 

 

And Grisham is a great storyteller…  and I love baseball history…  I should have loved the book but…  it was just okay

 

I didn't listen to any books this month but I did discover Podcasts…  or to be specific a podcast that I enjoy.

 

"Open Mic with Mike Creed"

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/open-mic-with-mike-creed/id668239719

 

it's basically recently retired domestic pro cyclist Mike Creed talking cycling with people involved with pro cycling.

 

I dig it.

 

Got some big plans for the coming year…  I'll blog about that soon.
