History
I started running in January of 2004 to get in shape. I had gained too much weight and felt terrible. I was able to run my first 5K 3 months later. 2 years later and 50 lbs lighter, I have continued to push for greater goals and have run 5 marathons and I am training for an Iron distance triathlon now. Everyday I wake up with a positive attitude towards life, training and my future.
Marathons Completed
Arizona RockNRoll 2007
Salt Lake City Marathon 2006
Steamboat Marathon 2005
Boulder Backroads 2005
Las Vegas Marathon 2005

Hey, How are all the triathlon-training-geeked out people of the world doing?


It's another great day in Colorado - life - sustaining sunshine and warmth.


God I love this State!!!!!!!


I was back in the pool this morning. Not a real good night's rest. Feeling a little groggy this morning.


The swim, however, went real good. Not a lot of yardage this morning but definitely quality swimming. I still did my 300 warm up and cool down. I did 300 yards of drills with 100 pull, 100 kick and 100 paddles. I then did 10x40 sprints with flip turns. Then I got in 4x200 I think. I had my mind wandering this morning and lost count. Not real focused for some reason. I have only 1 more week before my training program starts and I think I am starting to get nervous.


I am not nervous about the mileage, or yardage of the program. I am pushing a lot of those numbers now in my base training. I think I am nervous because it means that my half-iron is scheduled at the end of the program - It gives my training some finality. A purpose. That is what makes me nervous. I'm scared, nervous and excited at the same time and that is hard to figure out. I can't imaging what the full iron is going to feel like.


Tomorrow morning if the weather holds, I'll be on my bike doing hillwork. I Love Hill Work. Sounds weird, I know. I really push on hills because I feel that hillwork makes flat running and biking easier. So for now - Ciao!
