Marathons are hard because of the physical pain, the pounding on the muscles, joints, tendons.
Chasing records doesn't keep me on my bike. Happiness does.
I exercise everyday. I swim, I bike, I run and I go to the gym.
I rode, and I rode, and I rode. I rode like I had never ridden, punishing my body up and down every hill I could find. I rode when no one else would ride.
If you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on.
At this point of my life, I'm not out to protect anybody. I'm out to protect seven people, and they all have the last name Armstrong.
