Training Goal – Week of October 19

October 16, 2009

Well, I was feeling down about this week’s accomplishments, until I realized I got in three good workouts and ran 1.25 miles at a pretty good clip without dying.

Hey Married Guy – Get Back to Work.

October 12, 2009

Week 1 Training Target – To Tri or not?

September 14, 2009

I’ve recently been talking about a friend about doing another triathlon. It’s been 4 years since my last one, with a couple of mis-fires between then and now. I was actually at my endurance peak about 15 months ago, but never raced.
So, I’m intrigued by the possibility of another triathlon – and more [...]
