A tool that Monica and I use to strengthen our marriage is a monthly couples retreat.

We head off, just the two of us, and spend 48 hours together. I (try to) pull the plug on the internet and she gets to choose all our workouts. We get a heck of a lot done and it's a highly effective tool for our marriage.

[...]

The first thing we did was gather up all the financial information required to make a budget for the next 12 months (April to March). I then whipped up a summary that showed everything line-by-line and we reviewed each line figuring out where we could save, or where the expense was unnecessary. We split up the agreed points that required action.

The next day we took action! Calls were made, bills were cut, services were renegotiated. Our "retreats" are where we take action free from the distractions of kids, work and family obligations. It's very much a working holiday. Probably a good thing that our "long weekend" together was Monday to Wednesday!

That evening, after we had dealt with everything required to sort the next 12 months, we sat down and I laid out a couple of scenarios for Monica's old age. As you can imagine, she loves this part!

We started the conversation on opposite sides of the restaurant booth and ended side-by-side holding hands. Financial talks are emotional times -- especially when your husband is older than you.

Lance Armstrong has laid into an American radio host who claimed live on air that motorists should run cyclists down. Armstrong branded ESPN's Tony Kornheiser a "complete f-ing idiot" on his Twitter page, saying the comments were "Disgusting, ignorant" and "foolish".

Kornheiser, who has recently returned after being suspended for criticising a female colleague for "dressing too young", launched into a rant about cyclists while discussing a new cycle lane in Washington.

"The last time I looked, the roads were made for automobiles," he said. "We're going to be dominated as if this was Beijing by hundreds of thousands of bicyclists ..."

The broadcaster also attacked cycling clothes before urging motorists to run over those on bicycles.

"They all wear … my God … with the little water bottle in the back and the stupid hats and their shiny shorts," he said. "They are the same disgusting poseurs that in the middle of a snowstorm come out with cross-country skiing on your block. Run 'em down.

"Let them use the right, I'm OK with that. I don't take my car and ride on the sidewalk because I understand that's not for my car … Why do these people think that these roads were built for bicycles? ... They dare you to run them down."

Armstrong, a seven-times Tour de France-winner, reacted furiously, posting: "Disgusting, ignorant, foolish. What a complete f-ing idiot." He then later suggested his Twitter followers should write to ESPN to complain, after adding: "Tony Kornheiser on cyclists on the road, 'run 'em down'. Really? Big mistake, Tony."

To Mary Wittenberg on the NYC Marathon
“Don’t be angry if I don’t run NYC soon but I will do it eventually!”

On Marathon
“It’s painful man.”

On the marathon world record
“Sub 2? In 25 years maybe. 2:02? Soon.”

On half marathon
“My favorite distance. You need speed and endurance.”

On running track
“Maybe the 25/30k world records? No 5 or 10k races, less injury risk on the road.”

On long runs
“When I started running marathons, I ran long runs up to four hours. The next day? Bad day. Now I do three hours max. My advice: don’t run more than 35k.”

On Kenyans
“Soon the Ethiopians will have caught up completely with the Kenyans. The rivalry with them is good. They need us and we need them. Paul Tergat and I are friends. He stays at my place, when he is in Addis and I stay at his when I’m in Nairobi.”

On beating Tergat in Sydney
“That came from god. Paul already had it. He did everything right and still…”

On training on bad days
“A day without training is like a day without eating.”

On feeling bad when waking up
“I wake up at 5.30. Nothing else but a run to do at that time anyway.”

On retirement
“If you put a deadline on your running, you’re done. So, if you ask me if I will be running in ten years, I will say yes. You say ‘but you will be in your forties’. And I will reply ‘our bodies don’t know numbers’”.

On poverty in Ethiopia and education
“You know they say ‘don’t give him a fish, show him how to fish’. If my kid falls, I tell my wife ‘Let him fall and get up himself.’”
