		<title>The Trees and The Power Lines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last few weeks the city of Berrien Springs has been doing some updating.  Not necessarily the kind of updating that most people think when thinking of a city that is doing some updating.  They aren't repaving any of the rough streets, they aren't renovating city hall.  No, they're doing something different.  They are cutting [...]]]></description>

		<title>26&#8230;Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned this morning I was going to attempt my first century.  Today I fell 19 miles short of that goal.  Many factors contributed to the failure; heat, humidity, lack of training, muscle fatigue.  But the biggest reason would have to me mental focus.  After about mile 70 I lost complete mental focus and [...]]]></description>

		<title>26</title>

		<title>Time Trial Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I promised that I would update everyone on how the time trial went. Well the short answer is that it could have gone better. However, it could have gone much, much worse.  My team-mate and I rolled up to the line to find out we had 22 seconds left before we were supposed to start. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Dentist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The dentist. Someone that many people dread, myself included. The simple fact that someone else has their hands in my mouth, cleaning various parts of my teeth just gives me the creeps.
