1. Can't get the led out. No not out of my ass, but out of that state of mind, seriously for almost a week I have been listening to a steady diet of Led Zeppelin. Accept no substitutions. It's really been quite magnificent.
2. Fatmarc Splits: 2 pairs of pants in two days. Hear my ass roar. First while climbing, I go for a big long stretch and blow out my favorite pair of pants. The next day while reaching up to open a window at work, I blew right threw a my shorts. Luckily I always keep a back up set of clothes at the office for just such an occasion, and besides you never know when Tom (papa smurf) will stop by. You know this is karma, earlier in the week, 2 people told me how skinny I looked, how fit, the next day I start a run of blowing out pants. beautiful.
3. Finally back in the woods, got our for a nice ride with Monkey, Jan, Rob (not that no talent ass clown from matchbox 20). We rode all of white clay and a couple of nice loops over at middle run. I rode the baby bike, which I still have no affection for, other than it was good to spin. Monkey set a very solid pace and the group flowed well. The trails had superhero traction, and it was simply a wonderful day. 80 degrees sunny. All of the road, and trainer miles had really started to eat away at my brain, this ride, this day reminded me why i do all that stupid shit, just a few moments of nirvana on the bike. It's so good to be alive, just an awesome day.
4. Yoga Fire: been taking a yoga class once a week. Damn I have to tell you every time I come out of there, my legs feel so much better. I try to focus on breathing at the right times, but really the stretching is phenomenal, and I'll be honest I'm not disciplined enough to stretch for an hour a week by myself, but in the class, it just flies by, and of course there's the pose I'm best at, the corpse pose. pure relaxation after 55 minutes of twisting and heavy breathing.
respect.

my dirty little secret...during cross I started the day with 15-20 minutes of yoga the morning of a race...cannot begin to tell you what a great difference it made mentally (still had those nerves working me on the line, but I was much more focused and relaxed). No longer have time in my life for classes on a regular basis, but it's still a big part of me.
Good luck at the Pinecone!

Yoga's great at teaching discipline and patience when holding a tough position and just breathing through it. I've been going once a week too for a couple of months now and it really helps. My wife just got certified as a teacher so yogas big in our house.
Ever take a heated power class? Crank the heat up to about 90 and turn on the humidifiers, the sweat runs off me but the heat does allow you to go deeper in the poses.
Flexibility is a major plus but I've also found that it works my upper body and core in ways that cycling doesn't touch.
I listened to a Led Zep playlist on almost every mtb ride this winter.

Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, cant keep away.
Hammer On!
Da' Shark!
Hey, Marc.
In keeping with your Zep trend, track down a copy of Tool's cover of "No Quarter", on the album Salival. Simply sublime.
