A quote from today's Cyclingnews.com:
Bernhard Kohl is "terribly disappointed" over the two-year doping suspension handed down yesterday by the Austrian Anti-Doping Agency. He called it "the wrong signal and the wrong direction."
No Bernie, the only "wrong signal" and "wrong direction" that was taken was by you when you decided to dope and get away with it. I hope you have a miserable two years off the bike that is filled with endless saddle sores.

Life Updates
Not much cycling...not much running...too much work. That sums up my last three weeks of life. I'm currently designing two building projects, one for Kent State and one for The University of Akron which is taking up too much of my time. Although they are lots of fun it's not leaving a whole lot of time to do anything else I'm afraid.
I was lucky enough to make it out on my bike a few weekends ago when we had the really warm weather. It had been 4 months since my last real ride so time went by fast and before I knew it, it was time to go back home. I haven't been on the bike since. You know it's too long since your last ride when the tire pressure is below 40psi. I'm hoping to get back on the bike a bit more routinely here this week. I hate to do it but it looks like it's back to early morning rides in the basement on my trainer. I normally don't mind trainer rides but I'm not looking forward to it this year.
I have been routinely running 3 times a week at the gym. Those workouts on the treadmill aren't actually too bad. It's a lot like riding indoors, w/ some good tunes on the ipod time goes by quickly. My only issue is that I get so hot that when I'm done running, I'm completely drenched in sweat. Fortunately I'm married and not looking to pick up chicks or else I'd be labeled as that weird sweaty guy! Who knows, I probably am already labeled that but I guess I don't care. What I don't know won't hurt me, right? My plan is to continue running 3 to 4 days per week, with one of those runs being a long one between 7-10 miles. Looking ahead to the Cleveland Marathon, I really have to be in full blown training mode in mid January so I don't want to lose any fitness or gain any excess weight that tends to happen to me at this time of the year.
Besides that it's Elves & More time. I'll be doing a lot more blogging about how that effort is going but in the meantime I'll say that the volunteer dates have all been set and registration is now open. Check it out.
