Today I ran around the bay. (Route shown to the left.) I was scheduled for a 90 minute, zone 2 run today so I headed out with not intention of running all the way around the bay. I was closely monitoring my heart rate making sure not to go over 164.
It was so nice out […]
Here is a quick update on my training. Monday, after a long day of work, I decided that it would be a good idea to go for a light run around the bay. As I started my trot around the bay I noticed I ran up upon a lady who was just about my speed. […]
This past weekend I was horsing around in my local Costco and I came across the digital scale section. Knowing that I had gained a little weight over the past month, I stepped up on it without hesitation. The digital display showed 195.8. It is the most I have weighted… ever! I know I have […]
I’ve now owned both Polar and Garmin heart rate computers for over 2 years and I have found I like both of them for different reasons. So here is my opinion on Polar and Garmin watches.
Polar:
The Good: I have used the S725 and the RS200 more recently. What I like about the Polar computers is […]
Last night Felipe surprised me with a 5k or 10kTT… on the track. I showed up late because I had to show property. When I got to the track I did a 1/2 mile warm-up and then started my 24-laps.
Mile 1 was too fast. I did it in 8:07.
Mile 2 was perfect… I was pushing […]
To whom it may concern:
Once a year there is a weekend that stands out amongst the rest. It’s a weekend where champions are made, tents are pitched, and over 200, 5-gallon jugs of bodily fluids are sweat out by over 6000 athletes… all working there butts off to get to that cold refreshing brewski waiting […]
This guy looks like me! Too bad I forgot my floaty last night! Last night was my first workout with the San Diego Triathlon Club. I met the club at the JCC for a swim workout lead by our very own Nikee! There were several things I liked about the workout.
- There were about 20 […]
This morning Paul and I did my scheduled 80-minute run. I am beginning to see the benefit in mixing up the terrain so we ran in Point Loma again. All Hills! We started out pretty easy and we were definitely cruising in zone 2. We ran down Canon St. and then up Talbot St., then […]
6-mile TT was what was on the schedule for todays training. I showed up to the track and to my surprise, there weren’t very many people. In addition, all the gates to the track were locked. So Coach Luke had an alternative workout for us. The map to the left shows the loop we ran […]
