Welcome to EnduranceBuzZ.com!

The purpose of this blog is to help inspire and explore an active lifestyle through endurance sports. This will include running, ultra-running, triathlon, cycling, and anything else that catches my attention. I will also share my experiences and adventures in endurance training and racing to hopefully provide a bit of entertainment, motivation, or maybe even some education (I said maybe).

Some of the more specific areas I will focus on include (drum roll please):

• Nutrition
• Weekly review of endurance sports happenings that catch my attention
• Tips on training and recovery (personal experiences)
• Motivation
• Interviews of other endurance athletes
• Product reviews of items I have personally used
• My personal weekly training and any insight that may be of benefit to others
• Race reports

Wow, that sounds like a lot of stuff. I hope you will be able to take some value from the collection of goodies and use it to reach whatever endurance goals you may have in your life.

Enjoy the journey!

About me:

I had been fairly inactive (close to couch potato status) for the three years after graduating from college and entering the corporate world. Then in 2000 I was “birthed” into endurance sport! Sounds painful and actually at times it has been. This discomfort is actually minimal compared to the pure joy, adventure, camaraderie, and life-lessons endurance sport has provided me.

It all began with mountain biking and then followed with adventure racing, duathlon, triathlon, road running, and ultra-running. I really enjoy the “going long” aspect of these sports.

Shortly after “birth” I also became passionate about nutrition and what I put into my body since I feel it has such and impact on overall health, athletic recovery and athletic performance. When I started paying attention to what I ate and began moving the body, I dropped 25 pounds over a couple years. I am not perfect with all of my food choices but I am now more consciously aware of what I put in my mouth which has given me the opportunity to make better choices.

Endurance sports have been a life changing event for me and my family. I am grateful for the re-introduction to movement and a health oriented life-style.

For 2008, I will be focusing on road and ultra running. Ultra running is a fairly new adventure for me so there will be plenty of learning and hopefully not many bruises. It is going to be a fun year!
