Me and a friend were talking about how he slowly backed off from racing this year because he found it difficult to be traveling like we do all the time and still keeping close friends here at home.

And that included several weeks of 70 miles.

Write out your goals and then plan how to get there. That's how dreams come true.<BR/><BR/>On the friends issue, I can relate. I used to over-analyze who was a friend and who wasn't. Guess I'm kind of picky. Now, I'm more flexible. If they're willing to spend time with me and reciprocate my efforts, they're a friend.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821164461194210117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140065.post-1162858982305132472006-11-06T19:23:00.000-05:002006-11-06T19:23:00.000-05:00Well put, Cliff.IM has a way of sorting everything...Well put, Cliff.<BR/><BR/>IM has a way of sorting everything out for you.
