A DETOUR

So its been a while since I've updated........Partly because i'm lazy, and partly because i've been busy as hell. The whole detour thing is what has kept me busy. So lemme tell you about it.....

Over winter break the track coach from Piedmont called me and said he was willing to work with my cycling if i ran for them. Now at the time I was just riding, living at home , and working at Kmart. I love my house and my family, not to mention the area I train in, but I have lived in Dalton, Georgia my whole life. So it was time for me to get a way. So after a twenty minuete conversation with the track coach, I packed up and hit the road.
So here I am in Demorist, GA going to college and running a few times a week. The coach has been great working with cycling. In fact I was able to run at practice last week, and still manage 20hrs total on the bike. Demorist is like 20 miles south of Helen, so its in the heart of the North GA mountains. The terrian is stunning. It's ironic that I stayed away from running in college because I thought It would keep my pinned down and limit my cycling, but actually I feel free as ever. I'm riding and running more then I ever have, and I'm fitter then I've ever been. Oh yea that whole thing they call college isn't so bad either!
I'll keep it posted,
