Never tried the moldy, maggotty kind.  I also don't like Swiss.  Other than that I'm a big cheese fan.  Our natural foods store sells Glouchester with (Blue) Stilton.  So Tasty.

Not much is up.  I've been cleared to not go into the office until Aug 11 so until that time I'm gonna chill.  Yippee!! 

Yeah, I don't think that I could be a vegan.  I can understand how people give up meat, but I just love cheese way too much. 

I need help with the people powered ones.  Dude, I am so slow. 

mmmmm..... cheese.  I think I might dig some of that goat cheese out and eat it with some blueberries.... yum.

SCHWAMM! howyabin? 

I should have said "I don't want to be amongst the squids for..." I lost my hard riding edge last year when a friend of mine passed me on the right in my lane on a slight left handed turn. He got off in the gravel, high sided 10 feet in front of me, and then cleared the road and cartwheeled through the embankment for 200 yds.  He, amazingly enough, walked away with a sprained ankle.  I had a hard time with it because after watching him get tossed around like a rag-doll, I was pretty sure he died.  Since then, I haven't really ridden much. I may have failed to mention he was WFO in 6th gear when he bit it, I was pushing about 120 in 4th. 

I have that on my ipod.. love the song..

Fair enough, here in the Quad Cities I've only seen them do the "blitz builds" but I also haven't looked much, because with my schedule I can never actually predict when I'll be free to do stuff. 

evening everyone.. back from swim/run... didn't acutally flail at the water too bad...

running question... is it normal for my shins to hurt when i run? (not really shins but more the muscle)

It may be normal, but it's probably not good.  Does it hurt more the more you run, or does it hurt when you start running and then go away as your legs warm up? 

i would bet there are builds going on almost constantly... a little slow in the winter, maybe... but... yeah...

You've inspired me, I'm now having a beer. 

its more that it hurts as i run.. mostly at the faster speeds... if i'm walking fast doesn't hurt...

I was going to ask why you didn't offer to give hot couch-hopping girl a place to sleep.  You didn't even have to offer the guest room.  Could have just closed the door to that room and told her it was a utility closet or something. 

I believe those are shin splints.  I get them sometimes.  When I do I usually repeat the mileage for the week or scale it back a bit.  Does it hurt if you try to press your thumb in between the muscle and the bone. 

You may need to stretch that muscle out more.

It'd probably be the stretch in figure 11.

I have to do that one a fair bit.

So TAN mini-poll said it was a bad idea if I drank and then everybody else cracks one open.
