This is my watch. It enables me to listen to music through bluetooth. Up to 1,000 songs. Receive and send texts. 1 year fee services with ATT. Water-resistant up to 50 meters. Tracks all my activities including heart rate and foot pod. It is also Fitness App compatible.
Something to consider… Being a Clydesdale, the watch fits me great. For someone with small wrists…not so much.

If you are looking for a bullet proof tire the Continental Gatorskin Clincher Road Tyre is a durable, fast and tough tyre at an affordable price. We put a lot of weight and stress on tires and we need a long distance runner. The Gator
features a Duraskin external mesh to create a protective shield over the casing, this helps to prevent cuts, punctures and abrasions.

In the heat of the summer, our bodies need more water than usual to stay hydrated and for our joints to function properly.
During these sweltering few months, here are some tips to keep you and your joints as hydrated as possible!
Drink Enough Water
This may seem obvious, but what exactly is “enough” water? The standard has been set for years as 8 glasses a day, but that might not be the correct amount for everyone. As a rule of thumb, to find out how much water you should be drinking take your weight in pounds, divide it by 2, and use that number as your daily requirement in ounces!
Eat More Fruits and Vegetables
Believe it or not, but many fruits and vegetables are composed mostly of water! For example, watermelon and berries contain about 92% of water per volume. Other fruits that contain a significant amount of H2O include grapefruit, cantaloupe and peaches. As for vegetables; cucumbers and lettuce contain 96% water, while celery, zucchinis and radishes all contain 95%. Incorporating these foods into your diet, especially during the summer, can help you stay well hydrated.
Limit alcoholic beverages
Although in moderation alcohol is okay to enjoy, drinking an excess amount can cause dehydration. If you do choose to have a drink, make sure you alternate each cocktail with a large glass of water.
Hydrating your body is important for your overall health, and can help support your joint comfort as well. With the heat of the summer upon us, it’s important to drink enough water and follow the above tips!
Good For Your Butt

Cycling can become a huge pain in the butt. Not just from getting out their and riding but from the pain you feel during or after you get off your seat. A few simple tricks to help elevate much of the pain.
1) Go to Cobb Cycling at www.cobbcycling.com review their seats and then call them and talk with a representative about the type of riding you do. They will then recommend the best seat for you. (Cobb Cycling seats are the highest rated in comfort)
2) Get your bike fitted with your new seat. Each time a new component changes the way you ride, you should get refitted.
3) Ride – Start with small rides and then work your way up to longer rides and your butt will thank you!
