Summer Gas Prices #2

60th Anniversary

My grandparents celebrated their 60th year of being married. I don't have any pictures from the party, but I truly felt that it was worth blogging about.

"Hi" Heartrate

I am barely walking and only "thinking" of running and my HR jumps to 100! This is actually pretty typical :( What's wrong with me!? :)

p.s. I got out run by a girl last night!

Park Pics

Here are some pictures of part of the track that I run at: I bet you didn't think that something like this exsisted in South Texas huh?

Lance The Dog!

Sorry "Lancenotstrong" but I was told that I had to use that name on my pet before I used it on my future kid! :)

An Alarming Situation

Pete, a coworker decided that he wanted an mp3 player and asked for me to go with him to BestBuy to help him pick one out. After choosing one we leave BestBuy and the alarm goes off... the guy in the front just waves us through so we proceed through the doors. As we get into his car we are driving on the expressway and I look at the mp3 player and it is STILL in the "security device!" Let me tell you from experience that if you do intend on stealing , it is extremely hard to open these things!

Quote of the Day

This is not my photography and or quote... I liked them both so I decided to just combine them.

A Peach A Day...

ok maybe it's suppose to be an apple a day, but I once saw a cycling video where a pro cyclist was eating a peach and the guy with the camera goes up and asks why was he eating a peach does it make him ride faster??? His response was that it had vitamin A and C that Vitamin C helps retain water which is good for us while riding and also helps keep the body tempature cooler. I later discovered that Vitamin C is not naturally produced by the human body and is good for protecting the skin from UV rays.
Here are some other facts...

• The United States provides about one-fourth (25%) of the world’s total supply of fresh peaches.
• The peach is a member of the rose family and will have a sweet fragrance when ripe.
• Most peaches that are imported to the United States during winter months come from Chile.
• Peaches are the third most popular fruit grown in America.
• peaches are virtually fat free. A medium size peach contains less than one gram of fat.
• peaches are naturally sodium free.
• peaches have no cholesterol.
• peaches are a low calorie snack. A medium size peach contains only 40 calories.
• peaches contain vitamin A which helps us see in dim light.
• peaches are considered a good source of fiber. The skin of a peach provides both roughage and fiber.

Random Pics

Allez asked what I did with my Trek stickers so here are some pics while I am out GPS Hunting... This one is of a praying mantis that "was" chillin' on my shoulder :)

Random Signs...
If you look closely you can see the bird on the nest... I couldn't get a closer shot because I tried and he flew away :(
And last, do not park on private property or else someone will call the cops and you will have a hard time explaining what you are doing... I took this shot incognito.
Overall I just hope that you enjoy the quality of the pictures

Trek Stickers

Ok NOT this Trek sticker...

I e-mail Nick Martin a couple of days ago asking him for some Trek stickers and he comes through again! I didn't think that he would ship them out that fast though! We knew he was obviously fast on the bike and I feel bad because he's on the road right now. I just want for you to know that I am NOT selling them on e-bay but he sent 50 stickers and right now they are going for 7 dollars for 4 haha. E-bay auction click the link Piojo it's safe I swear ;)

"bloggin' ain't easy"

Nike Tailwind

New Toy... ok I KNOW that I don't need it!!! but I "feel" better running with it! :)

Btw, for those of you that do not know, Jeef has left the valley and moved upstate to San Antonio. :( We will see if he still blesses us with his presence on my blog, BUT we all know that we have a place to stay at when we go to up to race and or visit... right Jeef!? :)

Memorial Weekend Pics

This first pic cracks me up, I think this is what it would be about if rapper Little John was "Hispanic."What caught my attention with this bridge is the fact that it was built straight out and then cement steps were added up to meet the bridge.
"The Blue Hole" I found this interesting because it is the "source" of the San Antonio River Walk.
This is by the Quarry, it's what's behind it that's interesting ;)
We should just plain out have more of these!
Becareful where you STEP!
This was taken at the Japanese Tea Garden while in SA. It is still underconstruction and STILL attracts tourists.
I think over all it was pretty different to go to San Antonio and NOT go to the usual River Walk, Sea World, Fiesta Texas, or common attractions like that.
