April 30, 2010,
Had an OK ride today. Went out early since I had a long ride and wanted to catch the wind in the right diretion. As it turned out wind was only a bother for the last 15 miles. Had a little back problem on and off during the last 25 miles. But was OK when I finished. My heart rate monitor broke so I am waiting for Garmin to send me a replacement. I feel naked without it because I rely on it so much to keep me abreast of the effort I give.
Some of my friends ask me what I think about for my long rides. So hear is what I thought about today. Today's thoughts were focused on family relationships. With people suffering thru real issues such as Cancer and other illnesses, I find it hard to see why we tend to make major conflicts on such small issues. Life is to short to hold grudges, to fight with family members and to treat others as if you were king and they were your court. Look at the problem, address it with a win win situation and move on. Life is to precious to waste time.

About Me
- Phil Benson
- I am 64 years old and have been a visionary my whole life. I saw Frank Shorter win the Olympics in 1972, and I said I want to run a marathon. Since then I have run 50. I watched the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii on TV and I said I want to do that. 3 years later I finished the Iron man in Hawaii. I was 45 at the time. I watched all of the Tour de France this year,2009,and I said I want to do that. Unable to compete in the Tour, I will do the same miles they do on the same days in July. Can I do it? The saying goes "Man can achieve what the mind can conceive".
