  • Cross Crusade #7 Race Report: Mud, Whiskey, Mini-Golf

    I’m traveling so this has to be quick but the race report from this weekend went up realllly early this morning over at the Wend Blog. In other news, at 4:30 in the morning, after 3 hours of sleep, I decided I definitely needed to bring my pedal wrench with me on this trip (surely there [...]

  • The Real Fall.

    The transformation has begun.  Bright and shiny leaves have almost entirely abandoned the trees. Many people claim to love fall, but most really only love the early part of fall, when everything is still sunny and the trees with their colors are like, Zok! Pow! Bang! My fall happens later when the trees...

  • Obama!!!

    This video, from last year’s SSXCWC at Estacada, probably says it best. I’m cringing to post it again but - unfettered joy is unfettered joy, ya know? addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Feverydayathleteblog.com%2F2008%2F11%2F04%2Fobama%2F'; addthis_title = 'Obama%21%21%21'; addthis_pub...

  • Pre-Barton Fall Lovliness

    It hasn’t rained as much as I would have liked, but I’m prepared to attack Barton with teeth barred. The leaves are diving from the tree branches in droves now, forming big piles along the side of the road. Add water and you have a mushy leaf-slush I like to refer to as Raisin Bran. It’s...

  • Sunshine Roller, Sunday Macchiato

    Highway 30 on a long Sunday.  Sal is breaking legs in the Master B category out at Sauvie Island and I’m late.  Too late to see him finish but just in time to hear the grand retelling. The after-race part is always better anyway. My kit is Super Relax and despite the fact that it’s...

  • Blinding White Joy.

    Summer morning.  Chilly track. "Natalie!  My hands are numb!" "Mine too!" Mittens in August? Heading into the third turn of the second 800 meter interval the sun powers over the top of the building to our east.  Blinding, white, glowing. We’re overexposed and unbalanced...

  • Some Kind of Wonderful.

    Birthdays. Cakes and keg ordered. I have an entire army of boys working on my behalf to throw me a party worthy of the gaggle of fantastic friends who are going to turn up.  I’m stunned and stopped and startled by the sheer amount of effort involved. I knew the command was loaded when I announced...

  • Coming Clean. Coming Around.

    It’s August 21st.  I’ll be 31 in two days. In general, I feel like about seventy million bucks. But this month has been hard for me. It’s "Christmas season" for my biggest client (read: long hours making marketing for people), it’s a big month for event for photography...

  • Homemade Pizza Night: Bigtime Italian Fun on a Budget

    My life is dominated by Sicilians (don’t call them Italians, dude). Sal and I lived with his parents and sister for two years in San Jose, California and if you think living with your parents sounds like a nightmare, think again. Those Sicilians know how to party. Besides guzzling his father’s...

  • Back to the Track: Speed Workouts Without Spew

    The psychological progression of waking up early for hard workouts always entertains me. 5:30am Alarm: Roll over. Hit snooze. Tell myself I should send a cancellation text because doesn’t it look kind of gray and cold outside? 5:40am Snooze Alarm #2: Roll over. Hit snooze again. Tell myself I will...
