Point Loma Nazarene University Run

Ouch!

My alarm went off this morning at 5:38 am. (I dont like setting my alarm for a nice round number like 5:30 or 5:45.) Danny-boy, my dog, was already up and wanting to go outside so I quickly got out of bed so he didn’t “squeeze” in my apartment somewhere. Upon getting up I noticed […]

New PR!!!

We all know that nutrition is equally as important as physical training is in the crazy world of triathlon we live in. As part of my overall plan for nutrition I like to eat a variety of different types of food. My theory is that if I can train my stomach to process a wide […]

Hangin in there…

So its been a few days since I have posted and a lot has happened in that time. The first is that my knee injury has not gotten any better. I have been going getting regular therapy treatments but it doesn’t seem to be doing the trick. Looks like it going to be good, old-fashioned […]
