I do it all of the time.

Talk about having a lot in common, we sure do, a lot of bad stuff, but the good too.

That sense of freedom you get from running, that is the exact feeling I get hopping onto my bike knowing I'm heading out for 2 or 3 hours on the trails. Few things in life feel better to me, I forget ALL of the crap most times, although I do use the time for deep introspection once in a while.

Freedom to chart your own course is the ultimate empowerment, and living well is the best revenge, I think we both are doing that now. Dude, way to go!
