Sometimes you just have say WTF ! Right ? I’ve been training aimlessly for months with no real goal in mind. Sure, in the beginning I thought I wanted to qualify for Boston but midway through May I saw that I didn’t have the motivation or desire to run a marathon. So, I ran a [...]
When it comes to ironman you be prepared to go beyond physical and mental hell to the finish line.
There are some days when you start your run and you feel like a Monster. Other days you need a little boost from a Monster (energy drink). I’ve been training hard the past 3-4 weeks and my mileage has been increasing but I’ve also noticed a few changes. I’ve almost hit 30 pounds lost since [...]
“Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience.

You can have moments in your running life that you know stand out. It may be your first race, first medal, first win or many other things. In training you try and find those moments as they tend to get you over the various walls as you run. I went into a triathlon funk after [...]
So some days you go out for a run and it is effortless. You glide like a gazelle and barely break into a sweat, yet you are running at a good pace and it just isn’t affecting you. Then there are the days that you just can’t seem to get into it. You are running but it appears as if you are bolted to the pavement with a couple of bricks.

If you need some motivation this video brings it. Amazing finish.
For me there is always one week in the year that just sets me up for the racing season. It is the “ah ha” moment where you know that the base building you have done moves onto the next stage. This past week seems to have been the huge hurdle I have been trying to climb over for the past 6 months.

Ran 4 miles at a nice easy pace. Worried after my 21 miler yesterday but I was surprised how well I recovered. Pretty decent run in the heat

I ran a nice 7.1 run in a very comfortable 8:30 min per mile pace. Felt great and even sprinted up my hill to end with a bang.

More rain today. It sure makes it tough to run when it continues to rain more in 3 days than it has all summer. Subside before I get home.
