I wanted to start adding some interviews to the blog so what better way to get it all started than by convincing a good friend who recently finished the Houston Marathon to share some of her personal insights into training, family, racing, and even beer.

Training this week was a blast! The body is 100% adjusted to training again so I think most of the rust has finally been burnt off. Woohoo!

It feels great to have finished my second week of consistent training. I am starting to find a bit of a rhythm when running and no longer have that “what are you doing” feeling.
My wife and I have also completed a full week of CrossFit. I think it will really add some nice variety to […]

That was the temperature Saturday morning as I walked out the door to get in a 10 mile run. When living in the south, this kind of temperature is especially COLD, COLD, COLD. There also was a nice 15-20 mph wind from the north that added to the […]

In the early part of the training season I really want to start focusing on some solid core and strength work. Over the last few weeks I started doing my usual exercise ball, cords, and machine routine but it just wasn’t doing it for me. It was getting a bit stale.
Then I read a post […]

During an eight mile run over the weekend I had an additional task to complete, return the movie Nanny Diaries to Blockbuster along my route. No I didn’t pick the movie as interesting as it sounds (wife’s pick), but I was up for the early season challenge. With water bottle and DVD securely in hand, […]
