“Oh, this is good!” – The first words that came out of Wendy’s mouth after she took her first bite of our experimental sandwich. On Tuesday we decided to experiment a bit and make a veggie sandwich that I had seen at my work’s cafeteria. It is basically sauteed vegetables, some mozzarella cheese, basil pesto, [...]

A few lessons hopefully learned from my Boston build-up and race: 3 high intensity sessions in one week (4 weeks from race) was not a wise idea. The full impact of that week didn’t fully manifest until two weeks later and then I was cooked with two weeks from race day. Not where you really [...]

Dang, I would swear that I hadn’t exercised for a year. My butt and upper hamstrings are tender! I performed a simple 2×15 set of lunges for each leg with no weights. That was a big old piece of humble pie! You got to love that transition back into full training mode.
