... ocean swimming at 6am...cycling with friends under a hot sun... running in the rain.... striding up a trackset trail after a fresh snowfall...
Races make great destinations, but training is the journey.
I am lucky to have a wonderful wife and three great kids with me on my journey.

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Apart from him being so gosh, darn adorable, the kid's got great taste in music. (Seems to be a trend in your family. I remember the little lady jamming to Bob Marley. Awesome!)I'd love to see him rocking out to Womanizer and American Woman. I'm sure it would make for classic entertainment :-)
Wait just one minute here. What ever happened to Disney soundtracks, hmm? Or grooving to the Miffy (that sweet little bunny)theme? I personally feel that you could do a better job of being Amish if you tried.

i need that playlist on my ipod.
My daughter (almost 5 yr) loves to listed to "Dad's rockin' music."
As soon as she gets in my car, she says, "Dad, play something that rocks" or "turn it up, I can't hear it" as my ears are in pain.
I think she would really like Mattias' Rockin' Playlist for sure.
HAHA, first of all, too cute for words! And, secondly, your son's got a great taste in music!!!
Great playlist!
Have a great race tomorrow!
