Tony, what's a "co-survivior"? is it you had cancer or you spouse? or?

My wife had it. She finished up her chemo this summer and has a clean bill of health along with her hair growning back.

Co-survivors are immediate family members.

Taking a moment to improve the lives of others does lead to a sort of fulfillment that cannot be achieved any other way.

You guys are so Zen and enlightened

Ron is a good egg and took some time for me one day to practice what he's preaching, thanks Ron.

One of the many things I like in The Compound Effect is the subject of self improvement. The best way to improve yourself is to be a positive influence on other people and help them achieve success. Those relationships will naturally blossom and you will end up benefiting from them as well. Whether it's your spouse, friends, employees, coworker, or even a perfect stranger. Be the bigger man.

Oh and Todd you are dead on with these statements.


Long story I don't want to out you guys to sleep with but I have been sitting on my A$$ since the first of this year. I suddenly realized I was about to become a sloth. My buddy I used to ride with was racing in the Over the Hump Mountian bike series so I showed up cold turkey after not riding for a year (I've rode around the block in the last year but not an actual mtn bike ride)

Anyway me, my Niner single speed finished the race in 95 deg heat but I'm not proud of my ranking. I'm back next week to do it again. I got a training ride in last night.

still chugging along here. Took a week break while on Vacation at Hot August Nights in Reno, and only gained 2lbs (tried to eat as healthy as i could with no fridge, stove or microwave) lol. So i think i did pretty good.

back on track today tho.

ran 14.1 on saturday as part of my long slow run (9:45 pace) training for my first marathon and then lifted/ran 3mi recovery run yesterday. then for today i did my 200 pushups/200 setups, planks(normal and side)and i'm good to go.

Not trying to lose weight, the exercise itself takes care of that.

far from it, but training for a marathon is tough, mentally more than anything. To think i had to run a extra 12 miles on top of what i ran on saturday is difficult. I like lifting but its tough when your running 30+ miles a week and after not lifting for a couple of days i feel flabby so to speak. Its a challenge, but its a good diversion from cars. thats for sure.
