2 Uncle 2 Paul

I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before on this blog, but one of my favorite pastimes is being an uncle.

Do not have fondue (and wine) with Serge in Geneva the night before the race. With this plan, I cannot go wrong. Undoubtedly, some of you out there are asking, how do you intend to crosstrain? The answer is, of course, step aerobics. A few weeks ago, Jens, my officemate, and I went down to the Centre Sportif to sign up for gym passes for the semester.
