So it appears I hurt my foot on yesterdays 9 miler.  It didn’t hurt at all during or even after the run but when I woke up it hurt.  It’s not a sharp pain but a dull one.  Today I played a round of disc golf and that was enough to make it more sore.  Below is yesterdays run: If [...]

Here’s the week 2 recap of what I’ve done as far as exercise goes for the week.  My training schedule is Monday through Sunday but these recaps will be Saturday through Friday.  Last week someone asked where I like to trail run on the West side.  I mostly run at Seward Park .  If you run all the off-road trails [...]

A while back a friend gave me a bottle of SportMulti.  He designed it himself based on his needs as an adventure racer and competitive athlete.  He wanted to make a multi-vitamin that stepped up to the challenge of keeping high level athletes performing at their peak.  After hundreds of hours of research, trails and testing, SportMulti was born. Growing [...]

We’ve all been touched by cancer in one way or another.  A family member or a friend; young or old, health or not, unfortunately cancer is not picky.  Just a few days ago my girlfriend lost one of her best friends to cancer.  Her name was Nicole Lariviere. Hearing Nicole’s story is as sad as it is motivating.  It’s sad [...]

September saw the start of cyclocross season which meant racing!  It also meant mud.  I didn’t run as much as I would have liked but I did get a lot of rides in to work.  I’ll have to work on the running next month. 2 races this month MFG #1  13th place MFG #2 18th place 34 different activities 0 [...]

So August didn’t go as well as I had hoped.  No push ups or sit ups like I said I would.  I felt the lack of core strength tonight while testing out the cross bike.  I have my work cut out for me but September is already off too a good start. No races this month 26 different activities 3.6 [...]

While on vacation I pretty much had one option when it came to training, running.  So running is what I did.  Now that I look at the numbers I was running as much as I was for the Timberline Half back in May.  So much for easing back into things.  I had planned on swimming but couldn’t get into it. [...]

First off your probably wondering what StoS is.  It’s the abbreviation I made up for Stevens to Snoqualmie Pass.  One of my big goals for 2010 is to fastpack the 72 miles from Stevens to Snoqualmie Pass in one shot.  Yes, that’s a big bite to swallow but I’ve done it before in 47 hours with two nights of full [...]

Tonight I was finally join by someone.  Jim Wood came out despite a sore back from not 1 but 5 crashes over the weekend. I upped my weight to 35 lbs tonight and did only 8 sets with weight.  Total steps tonight was 4352, 16 sets in total.  I cut back on the sets since it’s supposed to be a [...]

July was a good month of solid workouts.  August will start out strong but don’t expect the numbers to keep going up.  I have to temper for Labor and my StoS hike.   Next month I’ll make  point to count the sit ups and push ups.  Maybe we can have a contest and see who can do the most. No races [...]
