Another Season

I refer to today as the anniversary of my 27th birthday. My way of fighting off the inevitable truth that time continues to pass, no matter what I try to do. Despite an early season sinus infection, things have really turned around favorably.

I have been training on my Power Cranks while on the Computrainer and can say I have really noticed improvement in power and efficiency, in my pedaling stroke. Another factor I really believe has been to cut back on Spin teaching. I went way over the top toward the end of last year, teaching up to 6 or 7 classes a week. It just never allow me the opportunity to get in the appropriate training for myself. Lesson learned. I will be teaching twice a week, for now, adding one occasion additional day with the start of the Rutgers Tri Team

I am really excited about the start of this, as I think it is long over due to expose a younger and younger group to this sport. The class sold out in a few hours, and there is a waiting list now!

My biggest move in training and middle finger to age has been my training with the Rutgers Swim Club. Another site not fully up and running yet is http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~dannypoo/rcs/ Having come from a non-swim background I have constantly been looking for a masters program in the area. RU had previously had one, but was not successful enough to keep. Most local programs do not have drop-in fees, so I'd need to join yet another gym, and I refuse to do that. This group is more focused on swim meets than would a typical masters, but swimming with people sometimes half my age has been awesome. I know the improvement will be there in the spring.



The other stuff: OK, how awesome has Friday Night Lights been? I'd say very. Tyra had an incredible campaign in her run for student government. Riggins, who now by my count is in his thrid senior season is now the man in the backfield and having fun with Minka who is one of the two or three most amazing actresses on TV now. Also a shout out to 90210, which for some reason has still kept my interest.

What ever happend to?

So after my recent trip, I came home and promptly got sick. thanks to all those on the plane who were coughing. My brother seems to watch only the History channel, so my tv time was limited, I was able to squeeze in Bowl games views.

So my brother and I get into conversations about beer of the past, things like Bud Dry, and every Ice beer that had come out like Ice House. While many of those are still on the market we realized the short lived New Coke, never did. How many we questioned were fired over that?

Which brings me to the real reason for writing which is Marisa Tomei. Always an actress who I admired, and one who will forever say "Like you blend" in that Brooklyn twang in My Cousin Vinny. Any way she had really fallen off the map, until the Wrestler came out. Now she is once again hearing Oscar Buzz. But the real excitement was her spot on Ellen.

Training has been off, due to illness, I just cannot seem to swim with a head cold. Don't forget to check up on AC's training
