There is a point where one just needs to realize that your wrong and everyone else is right. If you’ve followed me this year you’re probably tired of reading about how I’m sick again, and again…. and again. Well, I finally realized that I was in a downward spiral. I went to the doc and [...]
My last post was a basic recap of the first race of the season. Since then I’ve been training pretty regularly, but not up to the hours that I’d like to see. In this update I’m going review some of the gear that I’ve used during my training sessions. The next post will be an [...]
First off, I want to say that the Peachtree City series of races are among the best organized events that I have participated in. If you ever have the chance, race in an event here and you will not be disappointed. The race director, Kim Bramblett, is a great person and does a phenominal job [...]
Ready for race week? Thats what I’ve been asking myself lately. For the past two weeks I’ve been building up and am now in taper mode as I prepare for this weekend. Here are a couple of highlights of the past 2 weeks of training.
Race minus 3 weeks – started to build on the bike [...]
Well, its been awile. But, the past 2 months have been a rollercoaster to say the least. Train, sick, train, sick, train, sick. Every two freaking weeks I catch something. Sinus infection, stomach virus, followed by another week long cold. I’m tired of being sick. So, after another week off I’m back to training tomorrow [...]
Great ride yesterday. Karen and I decided to stick with the local Trek ride out of Peachtree City rather than go down to “The Tour de Polk” and ride their century ride. For one, the Trek ride is free.. and it started at 10 a.m. so the temperature was about 15 degrees warmer than a [...]
First – sorry, but I’ve been very busy this past week so I havn’t had much time to blog. However, I have done some good training…. so has my wife. My wife has motivated me to get moving in the morning and workout. She’s done a great job of working out for the past 2 [...]
Ok, finally I think I’m getting over this cold, infection, cold thing I have going on. Its kept me down for three weeks and I think part of the problem is me! Last week I pushed it and got back in the pool after about a week on antibiotics (earlier posted). Well, by Friday night [...]
Finally, feeling a little positive attitude towards training. Its been a week since my last post (that sounds like I’m at confessional) and I have to say that I’m starting to come out of the doldrums. I’ve done a couple of workouts lately, but am challenged now by assuming another project that is taking up [...]
First I need to apologize, I had no idea that I’ve been so busy with life that I have not blogged in over a week.
In the last week and 1/2 I’ve definitely struggled with my workouts. Getting a cold that has now turned into a serious sinus infection is hindering my progress. I stepped back [...]
