I married into a family that loves cycling and to a man that considers his bike one of his best friends. While I can't keep up with my family on the roads, within the last 6 months I've started teached an indoor cycling (Spin) class at the YMCA and absolutely love it.
Over a month after Lance Armstrong announced his return to cycling I stumbled upon this Nike commercial online. I love it. Despite his highly publicized bad attitude, celebrity relationships, and ego, I still find lance a likeable character, perhaps going so far as to use the word "hero." What I like about Lance's story is what it teaches us about the human spirit and it's ability to overcome- the notion that we can triumph over anything as long as we are willing to sacrifice and bust our butt(of course a record breaking VO2 max doesn't hurt.) I personaly don't believe that Lance doped and find his risky attempt at an 8th Tour laudable.

Go Lance! We in the Jacobsen household are also fans of Lance and also stand behind him that with a little hard work you can make your body accomplish great things. :)
