I don't know why I didn't think of putting all three of my blogs back onto Blogspot and just point the domain names to them...sheez...
I'm currently working on three blogs, two of which are about my passions, and I might add a fourth blog about Art.
TomasQuinones.com - This blog about me and my happenings. A bit of vanity but good for keeping the family and friends up to date what is going on in my life.
TheFitHuman.com - Tracking my transformation from computer nerd to athlete.
Velophilia.com - All about the love of bicycles and related adventures.
I hope to get at least 3 updates per week...otherwise I will update Monday.

Simple and Effective Cardio with Jump Rope
It's so freakin' simple...almost as primal as barefoot running, but a bit less stressful on the body but still very effective in giving one a good cardio workout.
I started jumping last fall as a way to keep in shape when my legs were bothering me too much to ride the bicycle or run to the park.
I highly recommend the Buddy Lee videos and book.

The New Zoobomb Pyle
Friday, May 29. The new Zoobomb Pyle was unleashed upon Portland.
I missed all the hoopla. I'm not much for the downhill madness on a mini-bike, but I can appreciate the creative culture that goes on with the group.
BikePortland.org blogged all about it.
The ZooBombers seem to be pleased.

Relaunching the Blog!
Ok, time to relaunch my blog, but now it will just have my name and no longer be called "Cerebral Waste Disposal". Will have to manually import blog entries from the year or so of updating tomasquinones.com
I hope to make it somewhat interesting and keep family and friends updated about my life.

Cape Lookout Bike Trip
Memorial Day weekend was spent as a bike trip out to Cape Lookout along the Oregon Coast.
Four of us left Hillsboro Friday evening to ride to Elk Creek Trail and catch some Zzz's to get an early start on Saturday. We were able to get into Tillamook by 10am, have breakfast, and out to the Cape Lookout State Park Hiker/Biker site by 1pm.
The weather for the entire weekend could not have been any more perfect.

Going Barefoot
I'm now 12 days into my great Barefoot Experiment. It has felt so liberating to not have to worry about socks, shoes and sweaty feet.
I'll keep the blog updated as I start running barefoot and any other discoveries, problems or fun times I have sans shoes.
Cheers!

Just get started!
The Only Way to Get Started is to Get Started
Everyone has that moment in the morning. Waking to an alarm clock, being jolted from rest, realizing the dream is over and reality has returned. One thinks "I SHOULD get up now, but I have a few minutes". Minutes pass without stir. Suddenly, you sit up, get out of bed and start your daily routine.
Throughout the day, there are so many other activities that go through the same process. Starting the dishes, laundry, cooking dinner, cleaning the home, working on the next presentation or spreadsheet.
It just starts.
You might decide to get on your bicycle again.
Those old running shoes need to see some pavement.
The weight set is no longer for hanging clothes.
These pants weren't so tight when you bought them.
Tie your shoes, step out the door and you put one foot in front of the other. Your blood starts pumping and endorphens gorge your body.
Was that so hard?
"I don't have time", "I don't have the right equipment", "I don't know anyone else that runs".
Get Started.
Turn off the TV. Fill up a waterbottle. Walk around your neighborhood.
Get Started.
Put away the video games. Put down the soda and chips. Turn off the cell-phone.
Get Started.
You've cleared your head, done something nice for your health and accomplished something.

Ride-Camp Bagby Hotsprings
Cycle Wild lead a group of eager cyclists to Bagby Hotsprings to camp, soak, and just have fun!
The weather was perfect, the company was pleasant, and the springs were relaxing.
