I always get nervous before a race. It usually starts about a week before the race and with Lavaman only 4 days away it is definitely here. The butterflies are in the stomach. The majority of my races over the past 2 years I haven’t taken very seriously. I did them to complete them, and […]
This morning I woke up at 5:00am and drove up to a little community in the “909″ called Corona. If your not familiar with Corona, its a nice little communitynestled in the clevage of the Inland Empire, aka the “IE” aka the “909″ Tons of smog and the foul stench of cows are what you […]
When you get a chance have a look at this post written by one of my coaches Luke Walton. It is pretty funny, the guy had a great writing style. His post has inspired my to keep better track of my diet… which will be available for all to see on this very blog. Here […]
Those of you who have been around may remember a post I made a while back about eating sushi before a swim. The conclusion I had made after that day was that it was a bad idea to eat sushi before a swim. Being stubborn, I chose not to learn from my past mistake and […]
Tonight we had spin class inside the Colleen’s garage as a result of less-than-perfect weather. Whenever you cram 15 people in a 2-car garage and have them “sweat it out” it starts to feel a lot like a stinky tropical paradise. Well… not really a paradise… In any event, it was hot and sweaty in […]

Today I went down to Coronado and swam with the Masters program. The workout […]
Today we had a group swim workout which we usually have about once a month. The workout itself was surprisingly short. I think it was about 1600m. After the swim I took a quick dip in the hot tub and changed into my running gear.
The run workout was easy today. 1 hour. The route varied […]
Every St. Patty’s Day is usually a pretty good day for me but today is an exceptional one. This morning I ran the St. Patty’s Day 10k… and kicked ass. My time was 46:33 which is over 7 minutes faster than my previous best 10k time. Below are my spilts:
Mile 1: 7:16
Mile 2: 7:20
Mile 3: […]
Last night we had our usual track workout at La Jolla High School. The main set of the workout was 6*1000m in zone 3. Each 1000 I did between 4:27 and 4:35. I was very consistant. Track nights have become a lot more fun since I started liking running. I look forward to Thursday nights […]
Today’s workout at fiesta wasn’t like most other workouts at fiesta island. For those of you who dont know, the road around fiesta island is a flat, fast, newly paved 4.12 miles. The fact that it is so short usually means doing a lot of loops which can get pretty boring. But todays workout was […]
