“…Go!” (Something like that.)
The run started on a road for a very short distance before we connected onto the trail. Of course the race started with an uphill grade.
Once in the woods, the route was a singletrack path that […]

As mentioned in my previous post, the Cross Timbers 26 mile trail race was quite a day and it all started at 4:15 am on Saturday as I slowly crawled out of bed to get ready for my first race start of the season. I had laid out most of my clothes and nutrition needs […]

On Saturday, I just finished the toughest trail race I have attempted so far. It was a day filled with plenty of drama, beauty, pain, and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. All of which make trail running a truly unique running experience.

I am starting to get a bit excited for the first race start of the season for me. I will be running in the CrossTimbers 26 mile trail run.

I was able to watch most of the Hawaii Ironman coverage on Saturday and thought the pro race coverage was decent. I always would love to see more but that is what the live Internet coverage is for. The NBC show is created for a much greater audience than just a small percentage of endurance […]

Before this week quickly slips away, I better give an update on last week.
Last week was another solid block of training and I was feeling a bit fatigued early on. I think I was feeling some of affects of my first bit of higher mileage the week before. My energy levels were lower and I […]

In case you missed it the first time (me), all you runners (5k, marathon, ultra, and beyond) may want to check out the encore screening of Spirit of the Marathon, this Thursday February 21st at 7:30pm. (select theaters) I would imagine almost any endurance athlete would probably enjoy this flick.
This movie follows six athletes (first […]

Here is a bit of a glamorous taste of triathlon’s 2007 Ironman World Championships NBC replay coverage on tomorrow from the event last October. Not quite all glamor though, there was a nice puke shot of Normann Stadler.

Here is my 5 mile treadmill workout from this morning. This session is a bit more intense than workout #1 from last week as I increased the incline and extended the duration of “work” time.
The workout is split between hill and flatland intervals once again. I really like doing the hill work first because when […]
