JOHNSON WINS AGAIN AT THE BRICKYARD

It looked like it was Juan Pablo Montoya's race to win before he was penalized for going to fast down pit road opening for Jimmie Johnson to become the 1st driver to win back to back Brickyard 400's. Johnson held off Mark martin for the win, Dale Jr. was having a pretty decent day before his engine blew up, next week they will head back to Pocono. My allergies seem to be really bothering me this morning, my eyes are watering and my nose is running a bit, there must be something in the air. There were some pretty big storms in the area yesterday however here in CH we missed the brunt of them, we did get a little rain but not that much. Well it's time to head back to work for another week. MICKEY

Gift Yourself a Gift: Instead of viewing exercise as an obligation, consider it an investment in--and a gift to--yourself. Along those lines, focus on the fact that your fitness regimen will give you more energy for friends and family in the long run.
