I was sitting in my office around 12:00 pondering my pathetic week of training. I ran 16 miles on Sunday with Danoh and haven't done anything remotely cardiovascular except walk up the stairs and give the kids a bath. My trainer broke on Tuesday just as I was about to ride and the weather has been less-than-cooperative. So my depression was growing. It hit it's peek around 13:00 when I … [Read more...]

I ended up with 7 miles for the … [Read more...]

The miles went by slowly, and that is the worst … [Read more...]
The Keurig Special Edition B60 will brew you a cup at a time to keep you going. This has got to be one of the best investments a coffee drinker could make. The Keurig uses single serving coffee pods called K-Cups. They come in all kinds of coffee. I found that www.coffeeforless.com has a great selection and sells them for $42 for a box of 100 or a box of 25 for $11.50. The coffee comes … [Read more...]

A short 3 mile today on the treadmile. I didn't have time for much more. I covered it with a 8:00 pace. I felt good, but my legs are a little sore from lifting yesturday. … [Read more...]
Well, you know how it goes, skip a day of traing, drink some beer and eat some fried food. I am just upping my glycogen levels for this weekend … [Read more...]
