		<description><![CDATA[We live in that wonderful consumer society that is constantly shouting to us: As soon as you have/are ____ you will be happy!!&#8221; So we buy more and more stuff, we fight to become whatever is the cultural ideal of the moment, we mindlessly follow the latest trends, hoping, finally this time, happiness will follow [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been two weeks and a day since The Incident. Saturday I managed to walk to Mount Tabor, although I had to sit on a bench for a while when I got there, and walk back. Yesterday I walked to the Academy Theater, watched a movie, and walked back, about 1.2 miles each way. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This has been a remarkably different year for me in terms of training and cycling from the previous three. Honestly, I haven&#8217;t really been riding much, and I don&#8217;t have any kind of training plan. I try to put in a few long rides here and there, often failing (this weekend, as one example, didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What does it mean to me, to let go? I&#8217;m a control freak, I&#8217;m a perfectionist, I scare easily. And yet that&#8217;s not who I want to be. I want to let go. At the same time I also tend to trust my gut, listen to my intuitive, I have become impulsive&#8230; but I am [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I see palm trees and green spread across the city
I see the ocean and smell the salt in the air
I can see sailboats and large white rigs dotting the water
I hear exotic birds, hiding in the palms, calling to one another
I feel the cool breeze and warm sun on my skin
But there&#8217;s one thing I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I felt old for the first time ever today. I received my new 2010 OBRA membership card in the mail with my upcoming age printed in big black letters:
RACING AGE: 27
Gulp.
Thank you OBRA, I&#8217;m officially going through a pre-mid-life crisis.
I&#8217;ve been in a strange head space lately, pretty much driving myself batty over-thinking everything, from [...]]]></description>

When me and A broke up, I rode my mountain bike in Forest Park.
And, now, today, I rode my mountain bike in Forest Park through a few inches of slippery rutted mud on fire lane 5, giggling as I almost went over the edge [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I guess I have to learn the hard way.
We only dated for two months, but I let myself go. I decided for the first time, I wasn&#8217;t going to be guarded, I wasn&#8217;t going to be careful, I was going to just let myself fall face first into love. And, predictably, I fell face first [...]]]></description>

I feel like I dropped all the focus I had way back in the fall and it exploded into a million different pieces, each with it&#8217;s own trajectory. When I think about all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, OK&#8230; they&#8217;re really resolutions. I guess. I was going to write a really long wrap up of all the crap that happened over the past year, lessons I&#8217;ve learned, yadda yadda, but I&#8217;m going to stick to my last post. This is what my novel is. While it might not be factually accurate, it [...]]]></description>
