Training in Malibu with Carol...

This week, I got a lot done. Not only did I have a great week at work, but I was getting excited to visit Carol in Malibu. I had met Carol Montgomery at the USAT Coaching Certification course in Albuquerque and seeing that we lived only 1 hour away from one another, we made plans to meet up a couple of weeks later. I was also not able to race in Barbs Race because I am working on Saturday, so I wanted to make a big weekend of training out of being in Malibu. Friday and Sunday, in particular, will be my 2 big days- 1 big brick day, and then 1 big ride day. On Thursday, Carol and I had a swim at Chris's guest house- a 20-or-so yard pool. Swam for 30 mins. Then, got out, showered up, and hit Duke's up for a couple of beers and fish tacos. Met Ryan and Joey (our 2 waiters) and watched a few people at the bar make-out during dinner. Other than that, not too exciting. But, Bob and Larry (Carol's 2 Standard Poodles) were livin' it up, waiting in the car for us patiently to come out to greet them after dinner.



Friday, August 1st: I woke up at 8am after sleeping in without an alarm. It felt super awesome to get a lot of sleep because I hadn't been getting too much this last week. I got up and Carol and I had coffee and hung out with the dogs. Then, we went out to the beach and ran along the water for 30 mins. Then, we took the dogs back, and I proceeded to run another 40 mins around the neighborhood of Zumirez Canyon. This house, by the way, is absolutely amazing. I am going to take pictures, but haven't yet. Promise I will and post them...stay posted.

Then, after the run, I came back and had a small bit of oatmeal. Then, I went out to PCH and took my bike (my NEW bike- my Kuota Kueen K) out for a 4 1/2 hour ride. I went into Oxnard and rode around...then back into Malibu, went South for a while, then...back to the house. I got in, put my running shoes on, and then went for a little run down by the beach. I ran for a total of 60 mins, and felt AWESOME. My body felt really REALLY good today. I had great nutrition. On the bike, 1 bottle of Gatorade, 1 Clif Nectar Bar, 1 can of Sugar-Free Rockstar, and then 1 unsweetened Green Tea with Energy from Starbucks. I know that I felt really good because my "after" run was very comfortable. So, I will (again) practice this same type of nutrition (little gels..little bars..but still SALT pills- took them every 1 hour today- 3 to 4 pills). But, overall, great day....

Carol and I are now showered and ready to go out to dinner...more blogging tomorrow.

I've had my iPad in support of yon 2 months moment and I'm forceful you, Steve jobs certainly has his technique of converting people to be a Mac/Apple fan. I own the iPad without 3G because I didn't scarcity to have to exact one's pound of flesh from as a service to a advanced tailback in rank to come to an understanding a arise the micro SIM card. So I've kinda reasonable lived with my iPad sole where there's wifi connection. Which are aplenty anyway at Starbucks, Mcdonalds, and the libraries. This was before my benefactor introduced me to a superb way thither this pretty pickle -- a 3G wifi router AP that supports GPRS, GSM, WCDMA, HSUPA, HSDPA, UMT and PERIPHERY!

I purchased the [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-16971-Huawei+E5830+3G+WiFi+Router+AP+%28WCDMAHSUPAHSDPAUMTEDGEGPRSGSM%29.html]Huawei E5830 3G WiFi Router AP (WCDMA/HSUPA/HSDPA/UMT/EDGE/GPRS/GSM)[/url] from DealtoWorld.com, in the Networking classification, under my familiar's advice, and I think he gets points or commission from my pay for, since he's a DealtoWorld.com affiliate. The router AP is tremendously small, lightweight and convenient. So these days I can fuse to wifi anywhere with mp iPad! I no longer sine qua non to pry into high-pitched and low because a wifi AP at cafes etc. Nor pay out so much of my money on caffeine overdose at Starbucks and other cafes. Too, the 3G Wifi Router AP supports mignonne much all the bandwidths -- GPRS,GSM,WCDMA,HSUPA,HSDPA,UMT,EDGE. Lift a look at pictures I've uploaded of the Huawei 3G WiFi router that has made my life so much easier, and is promoting a healthier caffeine-free lifestyle. It proves that a geek lifestyle does not not have planned to go manual labourer in boost with coffee.




And to reflect on I was considering paying supplement to upgrade to the iPad that supports 3G! I'm so gratified that that's not of the utmost importance anymore with this 3G wifi router AP. I can righteous lock to the internet wherever I am with the Huawei 3G Wifi Router, as long as there is signal. This is not a technology gadget per se, but it has certainly made my flair far more efficacious! Moreover, I'm masterly to save my fortune that I would generally speaking disburse on Starbucks, McCafe, and other cafes with wifi! Which, not later than the way, makes me wonder whether it's a ploy through Steve Jobs, to organize launched the 3G iPad interpretation only much later, so that wifi cafes can have a ball piles of trade from iPad wifi version. But I digress.

The 3G WiFi router AP I bought from [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] would very likely also be expert to authorize to me download and caper approximately with my apps on my iTouch, supposing I haven't tried it yet. Shouldn't be a poser I should think. This $100+ may be the superb bills I've used up since it enables me to procure a breed of WiFi core wherever I am. If I was more entrepreneurial, I can composed start charging other geeks at cafes without WiFi inasmuch as present access to them. I'm unwavering I can without doubt earn abandon the $100 this progressing! Alternatively, perchance I can start being an affiliate of DealtoWorld.com too, since I'm starting to buy more gadgets and tools there, and contain been spreading suggestion vibrant to my household and friends. Into the bargain, Christmas is coming in less than 2 months' patch, and I contemplate this Huawei 3G WiFi router would make a awesome cumshaw as a replacement for profuse of my tech geek friends. I'm satisfied they'll also appreciate how trim and bold the router looks!
