First of all.. shout out to my bud Blake!! CONGRATS on the time trial championship! Gold metal and the state champ jersey!! Mom Lori works for ACH! Remember the name Blake Mc!! You'll be hearing it a lot in the coming years... trust me on this one!!

It was a busy day at ACH! Fun and good but busy!

I have to send a shout out to Dr. Hardin! Dr. Hardin runs our Sports Med program at ACH and took a few minutes out of his hectic schedule to talk with me about the knee. We have a saying at ACH about going above and beyond and we call it "Crossing the Creek." Dr. Hardin is always crossing the creek for someone. Thanks man, you're the best!

The other shout out flies out to Dr. Brent Sprinkle! He's not an ACH doc but a great doc just the same. I've gotten to ride with him quite a few times. He is a strong rider that can cut loose on a wild sprint that will eat you alive. Brent was also the one you told me about drinking chocolate milk after a ride for recovery. Ok, any doc that tells me to drink chocolate milk is a lifetime friend of mine! HA! Thanks Brent!

Awwright, let's see, I got the bike all cleaned up last night and was looking forward to checking out the adjustment of my cleat to see if that was going to help the knee issues but we got rain showers rolling in about 3 and boy did it ever rain! By the way, ever heard Silver Rain Fell by Evanscence? Great instrumental tune!

Funny thing happened just before I left the office for the day. My coworker, Charlotte, who has the office next door stopped in my doorway and said, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil?" She loves the movie as much as I do! We laughed! I told her I was going to go back and get that statue and get her one too.


Hey check this out! My sponsor FRS sent me a swag pack and I have the t-shirt on! I'm still in awe that the same group that sponsors Lance Armstrong is one of my sponsors. I feel like that guy on the American Express commercial... "Arms folded?" HA! How do you act, what do you say? HA! Thanks FRS! I'll make you all proud!

I got final word from Enterprise and the van is secure! Thank's Enterprise for helping us out!
