Looks like I will be doing the Silver Strand Half Marathon this year. It is definitely not the most exciting of courses…. but it is flat and easy. I have been doing a few runs a week and it isn’t taking long to get back in the swing of things. I just found out too […]
One of the things I have been working on lately with my training is my stretching. I am not a flexible person by any means. I can count on two hands the number of time I have touched my toes… ever. I was told that becoming more flexible would help reduce my risk of injury. […]
While most people are backing off on their training for the year, I have started ramping it up. Keeping it in context, I am going from working out 1-2 times per week to 4-5. My next race is the San Dieguito Half Marathon in early February.
Yesterday, Saturday, I met up with the Breakaway Training group […]
So I have been spending a lot of time working lately and not a lot of time training. Some pretty big things have been happening in my life. First, I am changing jobs. No more property management. Instead I am going to be joining the team at the San Diego Running Institute. I still don’t […]

Holy Makerel! It has been over two weeks since my last post! Well, I haven’t been training much lately. Mostly because I am having to allocate more time to work and AmateurEndurance.com. I just kind of squeeze in the workouts when I can. I did however have a good weekend of workouts this week.
Saturday I […]
Well, it has been 9 days since my last race and I think I am ready to start training again. I just got my new training plan in my inbox from Felipe @ Breakaway Training. I am still up in the air about my next race. I am thinking SOMA. The problem is that it […]
Yesterday I decided to do something productive on the 4th of July. Paul, Carrie, Daver, Lalita, David T, and I did the Coronado 15k. This particular event is a Kathy Loper event which usually means “great quality”. This race was an exception however. There were a few issues that need to be addressed for next […]
