Nico - These Days
summer, stay just a few weeks longer.
she dressed in lace and dreamt in light
summer is…
Man, I can be really bad at this, so here we go again.
1. Thank you!
2. Biologically here and here, physically here and philosophically here, sartorially here.
3. How I started riding was I got into watching pro racing and thought I would give it go. What did I think of it? It is hard to look back on the days when I was impressed with myself for riding 30 or 40 miles. I remember feeling free and light, and I remember liking that a lot.
4. ….
5. Short answer, no. Longer answer: I am a believer in self-awareness and knowing oneself. I understand my strengths almost as good as my weaknesses. I always thought I was good enough at guitar and singing to impress my friends when they have been drinking, but never good enough to make a go at it.
6. I have said it before: miles. You have to get that 1,000 mile base in your legs before you will see much in the way of results.
7. I run the US Marketing efforts for Image Source and I am enjoying it immensely.
8. I don’t, I try my best to get lost, sometimes it works.
9. See answer #2. 26.

Currently growth has no correlation to quality of life. I am a healthy, happy 28 year old. I don’t take any medication and have no medical issues; I am bad for the economy. If I smoked (tobacco revenue, medical costs), drove a car (less walking, more medical costs, more gas, more oil revenue), and ate more processed foods (more expensive, more medical problems, medical costs), I’d be good for the economy. My less healthy lifestyle would promote growth.
Until we redefine what’s good, we will continue to encourage self-destructive behavior.

i was all like “yeah that’s a good point” until i thought about it. eating healthy unprocessed food is way more expensive. a gym is expensive. doing things instead of being home and inactive is expensive.

I have to agree with what is said above. I was thinking of the amount of money I have spent on living a healthy lifestyle, and in the past 2 years with bikes, hospital visits (from injuries sustained running and cycling), eating well etc has to float in the $15,000-20,000 range. Obviously the payoffs to being healthy are enormous, and if you follow my blog you know that it is a large part of what shapes me, so I am not arguing that at all.
It is however a bit myopic to say that by living healthy you contribute to the constriction of the US economy. Don’t believe me? I would urge you to take a lap around Central Park and add up the cost of bikes one day, you will see the healthy are doing their part to stimulate the economy.
