Back in the saddle / good reading

Great trip to West Texas and New Mexico , the sunshine was perfect , now back in New Hampshire , the weather is unbeatable , warm days , cool nights , sleeping with the window open is the best sleeping pill ever ! It's like a pre Indian Summer 

Two great books that I've been talking about since the first time I read each of them , for ANY athlete " Born to Run " is full of wisdom and inspiration , and you will probably be healthier after you read it and apply some of the ideas to your life . 

For Martial Artists and Law Enforcement ( and Parents as well as anyone who travels )  " The Unthinkable " - who survives a disaster and why , this  needs to be part of any modern Martial Arts school curriculum  , along with non deadly pressure point control techniques , which is another whole subject.

This weekend I was able to attend a cycle cross race in Auburn , N.H. , very cool stuff , my good friend Russell Brooks who helps host the event was able to give me a tour and explain the course, check one out if you have the opportunity , a bonus while getting the skinny on Cycle Cross I ran into Peg Donovan and Family , and in a very short time met up with Tim Donovan not only did we get to catch up on Family and life we also took time to remember some of the old , crazy training techniques at Natilus North , human beings duct tapeing themselves to the leg extension machine ! Thats an "old training story " for latter , even Arthur Jones would smile over that one !
