The Daily Feed: Sites We're Searching 5/8

It's been a busy week in the Windy City--for me, anyway. For better or worse, that hasn't prevented me from keeping up with my online reading. Here's what fitness randomness caught my eye this time around:

• If you're into Ironman or following Lance Armstrong news, you might appreciate this Ironman.com letter to Lance about what to expect at an Ironman. For months, rumors have been circling about Armstrong planning to race the 2011 World Championships in Kona and here's a fun jab to the training.
• I love me a smoothie to feed my hunger. But after a while my wallet is hurting from all the trips to Jamba Juice and I'm looking to go DIY. Jamba Juice is turning 20 and celebrating this month with lots of specials, but check out these smoothie recipes from the New York Times' Well blog to stir up your own.
• Still need a gift for Mom for Mother's Day? Check out the gift guides from the Fit Bottomed Girls and FitSugar.
• May is National Bike Month. Get your ride on with these suggestions for road bikes and mountain bikes from Outside.
• Bored with your regular workout routine? I am, but I found some new moves to try with these exercises from SparkPeople. There are tons of options for a total body workout.
• With a sold-out field of 35,000, the 35th running of the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini Marathon in Indianapolis took off this morning. The course feature a loop around the famous Indy 500 speedway, which helps draws crowds from around the country. Check out the results!

Until next time...it's time for me to get my weekend started and get back on the training wagon. Photo grabbed from smoothieoperator.net.
