WHATCHU TALKIN BOUT WILLIS?

I grew up when Diff'rent Strokes was a popular television show. That's no big deal unless your last name is Willis. To this day I still hear those famous words popularized by Arnold: "Whatchu talkin bout Willis?" Usually they are uttered by someone looking at me as though I may have never heard it before. Yeah, right! Well this blog is what I (Willis) am talkin bout...my thoughts, observations & opinions. Enjoy...

150 miles?

Well I'm in for 150 miles this coming weekend. We will do 75 miles the first day, sleep on an air mattress, get up, eat some grub and hit it for another 75 miles! I did 60 miles on the bike a few days ago and this will be a tough challenge for me. I haven't been professionally fitted to my bike so I experience some serious neck/shoulder pain after the first 10-15 miles. (Yeah I have a big cranium!) So, what's my plan? Aleve! I'll be doing the anti-inflammatory cocktail pre & post ride on both days. Hopefully that makes it tolerable. My legs (I think) can keep going. It's just sitting on the bike for 5 or 6 hours that's the pain (literally).

I hope it goes well for you. Have fun!

I'm running a half-marathon on Saturday. Maybe I should get some Aleve too.

So, how did it go? Did your aleve help you make it through? Hope it was a good experience for you!

The aleve did help. It was really a nice experience. I'll post more a little later. Thanks.
