B-Fit, B-Day, Be Bronze

I completed my B-Fit B-Day Challenge yesterday with a fun swim at my local recreation center to earn Bronze.

Six days after I began the B-Fit Challenge I swam my last 50 yards to celebrate my heath, fitness, and my 45th B-Day.

It began with a 72-mile ride last weekend that you can read about HERE. I was really hoping to go for Gold this year, but several small issues got in the way.

Testing the Garmin Forerunner 305 by Nancy Toby

 My training buddy David kindly let me borrow his Garmin Forerunner 305 and I tested it out on our local high school track. It's a wrist unit that combines readings for time, position via GPS, and heart rate (with chest strap). I was able to get it up and running quickly with just a few glances through the manual.

Parking Luck and Your Celebrity Mugshots

For the most part I’m a pragmatist and a realist. I don’t believe in anecdotal evidence, I don't believe in the Loch Ness Monster, or that anybody has ever been abducted by alien’s and anally probed, or that Elvis is still alive, or that the Da Vinci Code is anything but clever fiction.

But here's something that you may not know about me...I believe in luck. I believe in luck because I have it. I have parking luck.

My parking luck is the ability to find a parking space as close as possible to whatever place I’m going. For instance if I need fish food I’ll always get the space just in front of the local PetSmart.

After all it was just one of those perfect days when the sun was warm without scorching the skin, the breeze was pushing softly against my sweaty body like a gentle caress, and the bike, Oh my God, did the bike feel fast.

I was at about mile 42 (or about 30 miles from home) when the four girls I know from the local Boulder women's bike team passed me on a gentle uphill. These young women were fit and buff...Boulder buff.
