"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Never, Never, Never Quit.

FIGHT....................FINISH

Love bugs are back!!

Yesterday during my ride, I ran into several love bugs. This is good news as they appear twice a year. Once in the spring just before the real heat of summer begins and again, in smaller numbers, at the end of summer just before the first cold front cuts across Florida. Shouldn't be too long and the heat will finally break. Looking forward to some cooler weather

Biking is still accounting for most of my workouts. I've put in 300 miles the last 2 weeks with some really good rides. Yesterday I rode in 20+ mph winds but since my bike computer broke, I didn't have to worry about how slow I was!! Ran today(4 miles) for the first time in a week. My knee doesn't seem to be getting worse but it also doesn't seem to be getting any better. My plan now is to limp through the next month, do the Longleaf Olympic distance on Oct. 21st and assess where my knee is. If it's still hurting, I'll go see the Ortho.
