Seeing Is Believing
In spite of the fact that Mel and his dad are fundamentalist Catholics, I'm intrigued by the film. Instead of joining the controversy chorus, I'll see it myself before I pass judgment (and maybe not even then).

*Let me be crystal clear on this: it's not the Catholic part that I have a problem with. Fundamentalist anything is bad bad bad. If I sound like one by saying that, then so be it.*



Training Update (Not That Anyone Cares But Me)
I've been fighting off a cold the last few days, and even though conventional wisdom says to train through a cold, I've found it difficult to get in any miles. Last night, for instance, I was so knackered I could barely move. I couldn't even move my fingers to form chords, so I didn't do much guitar either. Right now I'm on an every other day schedule. If I'm feeling better in a couple days I'll train hard for the race. Next week I have to go away for a few days, so I'll try and take my bike. The weather forecast says it'll be almost nice this weekend--should be perfect timing to feel better.
