Podcast - Back in Texas

 

Hey there, tri studs and studettes!  We head back to Texas, training in the heat while I cover Zen and training topics on willpower, rolling meditation, flexibility,  fueling and HR monitors, enlightenment, bananas, and the difference between "what" and "why".

In Boulder all Week

We're staying at the house of @everymantri here in Boulder, CO. for the remainder of the week.  We already went for an hour run around the reservoir and will be doing lots of great outdoorsy things through friday.  I would have made a photo post of the run, but the mobile app on the iPhone that allows me to do such things is non-functional.  I'm going to soak it in a bowl of granola so it can think about how it has disappointed us. 

More, MUCH more later!
