July 15-20: Running & Cycling in Birmingham

A friend of mine, Prince Whatley, crewed for Sarah Lowell at the Badwater Ultramarathon this week. The results tell the story of the distance, participants, and times without the details. But, Prince talked about his experience during this Sunday's long run. It sounded extremely interested and like he had an experience he will never forget and one that is rewarding. He is pictured behind her in several of the pictures (he is wearing the patriotic shorts).

I have taken on a new task at working looking into how to use social networking. This is an interesting phenomenon occurring on the web and within computer science. So, I am thrilled at the assignment and hope I can squeeze enough time into it to do it justice. It is rapidly changing and still emerging.

I tried Reformer Pilates after my ride on Saturday. I felt it in my core and legs on Sunday. I liked the class, but with so much time spent on running and cycling each week, I will be focusing on free weights for most gym workouts.

I listened to these podcasts to these week:
