I didn’t know much about Lance Armstrong before I read this book. I knew he was a professional cyclist, he had been dominating Tour De France for years and that there were rumors he’d been using performance enhancing drugs. This was pretty much the image I had received by watching the sports news.

It revealed there was a lot more in this book, so I decided to at least glance it through. Back at home I forgot the book to my shelf for couple of weeks.

Maybe someday I have the courage to hang on a roof edge, without thinking about falling…

I like to keep my running gear and dirty laundry separated from my clean clothes while travelling. There are two good reasons for doing it. First, it keeps the clean clothes clean. The seconds reason is that once you arrive home, you can easily put all the dirty clothes to the laundry and the clean ones back to the closet, This way you save time and nerves every time you return from a travel.

This is a quick tip for pull-up training. There’s an exercise called ladder training which seems to be a pretty effective, at least what I read from couple of forums. I tried it today at the gym and I got to say it was a good way to start my road to 30 pull-ups. The exersice goes this way:
