    Just another spin this evening after dinner while drinking some wine and studying the entire time. Spinning goes by so quickly when one is frantically studying.

      Nice run. And I hate the intersection stops. Sometimes I'll change my route on the fly just to keep moving and worry with crossing later. As far as the Island Boost, what I'm going to do is have a 6oz bottle that has one scoop of tailwind buzz for the kick of the caffeine at the end. Hope the IB sat well in the tummy.

      Nice run! Great splits for your more assertive pieces. Love the asking for permission after the fact...but also think this is a great run and I'm glad you went with it!

      Thanks a bunch for the support, friends. It reminds me why I love staying on DM. I will get through the asthma like I do all the time. I only have about 2-3 months out of the year max when I can breath easily, so I will persevere.

      Steve- I took out dairy recently and hoping it helps.

      Good job, Josh....there's a lot of crap in dairy, unless you can get it raw. But even with that, it can cause mucous issues in most of us. We're not really meant to drink the milk of another species, regardless of what the milk industry says ;-)

      Getting out there when you're hating it really takes a lot of guts, so my hat's off to you for getting out there. Even if it the stomach got in the way :(. I do hope you feel better soon!
