Today’s training workout was going to Costco. I lost my new card so my old roommate Jason hooked me up with a sweet new card. I was giving him my monkey face. I started out running through the parking lot trying to avoid be run over by elderly people. Then once I was in Costco, […]
Today I did a nice little run around the bay. It was an easy 5 mile jog. My feet were a little bit sore after the run but I am finding that that is pretty normal whenever I get a new pair of shoes.
I had origionally planned to get up and meet the group at […]
Dear Running Shoes,
You guys are new to my life and we have a few things we need to discuss if we are to have a successful relationship. Before I talk about things we need to work on, let me first say that you are amazing. I love that you would go through anything to keep […]
There is a feeling that a Christian man gets on his wedding night knowing that for the first time, he gets to have sex. It is probably similar to the feeling a woman gets at 3:59am in anticipation of the opening of her favorite store the day after Thanksgiving. It’s probably not all that different […]
Tonight I did a 45 minute run. I knew it was going to be cold so I prepared myself with long pants, a long sleve shirt, gloves, and a beenie. All this for a run when it is 52 degrees outside.
The run itself was pretty good. We started out at roughly a 10:00 min/mi pace […]
Yesterday I met up with the Breakaway Training group on Fiesta Island and instead of doing the normal brick workout I did a fartlek with the run group.
The workout was 90 minutes and broke down like this.
9-minutes zone 2, 1 minute zone 3
8 minutes zone 2, 2 minutes zone 3
7 minutes zone 2, 3 minutes […]
Yesterday I realized I am the most stressed out I have ever been. My two biggest sources are work and training - or not having enough time to do training because of work. For the past 3 years work has been something that I do but hasn’t been the main focus in my life. I am beginning […]
Well, it would appear I am getting sick. I woke up this morning with a sore throat and by the end of the day I felt pretty crappy. I came home after work today and decided that I was not going to do my swim workout I had been scheduled to do. Instead, I am […]
Today I am reminded of how great we have it here in San Diego. In any given winter we usually only get 3 or 4 big rains. Yesterday was our first significant rain. It soaked the streets and cause minor flooding. When the storms pass through they usually leave us with a day or so […]
The past few days have been absolutely crazy at work. Wednesday and Thursday after work I had just enough energy to get up my stairs and plop down on the couch. I was in a mental state that I like to call my “blah” state. It’s when my mind completely shuts down. All energy is […]
