You know- the one where you just go out and think a lot. The therapeutic type.<\/p>\n<p>Seems I&#8217;ve been enjoying road racing and training for road racing less and less lately. It&#8217;s a lot like when you eat something that tastes good, but then a few hours later, you&#8217;re sick to your stomach and puke it back up&#8230; there&#8217;s a period of time where, even though that food was initially good, the thought of eating it again makes you lose your appetite.<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s where I am- I&#8217;ve puked up road racing, and now I don&#8217;t want to eat it for a while. Sure, I&#8217;ll get over it, but for now, I&#8217;ve decided to branch out to other athletic endevors that I&#8217;ve been interested in for a while but have put off because of my dedication to the road bike. I plan on getting a mountain bike (I&#8217;m keeping a road bike, too) and trying some 2-wheel trail shennanigans. I&#8217;d also like to try some adventure racing, rock climbing, canoeing&#8230; you get the point. Oh yeah, all the while, I am pretty sure I&#8217;m running the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.runarkansas.com\/AT100.htm\" target=\"_blank\">AT100<\/a> this year. I&#8217;ve wanted to do it since I first went as an aid station volunteer a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>So this blog may get a bit more interesting to some whole others are probably going to now remove me from their RSS feeds. It&#8217;s all good. I&#8217;m happy now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/phoenixcr.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-945 aligncenter\" title=\"phoenixcr\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/phoenixcr.jpg\" alt=\"phoenixcr\" width=\"334\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/phoenixcr.jpg 334w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/phoenixcr-300x255.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I had one of those rides yesterday.
