Today was my first time in the pool in 2 weeks. Sorry Felipe… at least I’m honest. As you’ve read in previous posts, training time has been cut short due to increased work load. Doing two peoples jobs sucks. The way I see it, after March 15th, Papi wont be going skiing anymore and I […]
Last night I continued to see improvement in my running. I feel a lot more comfortable running now. I think I have settled into a good stride with a high cadence. The workout last night was tough but with every tough track workout I do, I gain more confidence.
I skipped swim again last night because […]
Yesterday I was scheduled to do Torrey Pines hill repeats but because of my work schedule I was unable to get out there. Unfortunately I had to do the workout on a trainer in the garage. For those of you who have used trainers before you know what its like to sit on your bike […]
Sunday’s brick workout was nothing out of the ordinary. It was 8 miles on the bike followed by a 20 minute run, then 8 more mile on the bike and a 10 minute run, then 8 more miles on the bike and a 5 minute run. The intensities of the runs varied. The bike loops […]
Saturday was my zone 2 ride. I started in Point loma and rode up to Felipe’s house where I met up with a bunch of my training buds. We all left Felipe’s house to do the usual 60-mile Elfin Forest loop. This week was considerably harder than previous weeks for 3 reasons.
It was really windy […]
Yesterday was Valentines Day, or as I like to call it, VD. Being the dateless wonder that I am I decided to go fo a run around the bay after work with this young lady. Yes, she is my mother. I ran and she rode her bike. She has made a huge amount of progress […]
Last night I had spin class with Felipe at Colleen’s house. My legs were feeling great considering its had only been 2 days since the 1/2 marathon. The workout its self was fun. We spun for an hour and then did a 10 minute run after. After completing the 1/2 marathon I am a lot […]
Today was my first Half Marathon. Only one word can describe the overall experience today. AWESOME!
I had mentioned to Felipe last wednesday that I had thought about doing the half instead of the 5k. He gave me “the look” and said to be careful as we were both a little nervous about my freshly rehabilitated […]
Today I had an fantastic workout. I met up with Nikee, Kassie, Luke, Felipe, Kirsten and a few others to do the Elfin Forest loop. From Felipe’s house it was about 60 miles. I started out with Nikee, Kassie, and Kirsten. Once we turned to go East I got seperated from Nikee and Kirsten. About […]
Today I went to the San Diego Running Institute and picked up the Garmin Edge 305 with cadence and heart-rate moniter. I am a Garmin guy and a huge fan of GPS. I take most of my workouts and upload them to http://jaybuddy.motionbased.com where they can be viewed by anyone.
The other cool thing is that […]
