Don't Worry, Be Happy

No matter how selfish it sounds, it is our natural way to do what we must to make ourselves happy. It is not necessarily a bad thing. Self indulgence, happiness, and self satisfaction are all vital to a successful life. There are certainly boundaries where these things become less of a necessity, and for some people... alot of people, it is hard to balance the job of keeping yourself happy and making everyone else happy. Think about the people you like to be around, chances are that they make you happy, but most of all they are happy with themselves. They exude happiness. No one wants to be around a downer! Next time your in a group of people, make sure your not the downer and try to stay happy, that will help everyone be happy and healthy.

OK enough of the philosophical stuff. I've been riding a ton the past couple of days. The rain today forced me into a much needed rest day. I beat my record of 15+ minuets up Paris Mt. yesterday. It was the first time I climbed the mountain this season. I barely warmed up, but I made it up unpased in 14.01 mins. I'm pretty happy with that, but I'd definitely like to drop it down a minuet or two by the summer. Spring break is coming up in a couple of weeks and instead of heading off to the Caribbean or the beach, I'll be having my own sort of training camp with my coach Tom Ball. We're gonna do some long climbing rides up in the mountains and I can't wait. I have to get my racing schedule together, but I'll post it as soon as I do.
