As the temperatures rise during the summer months, I was reminded of the need to manage fluid consumption. The short of it, I lost 4% of my pre-run weight after a 2 hour long run that included 21 oz of water mixed with HEED and Endurolytes. A 4% loss is not good!

Weekend 2 Garmin reading: 5.49 miles
A cross [...]

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.

Last week consisted of getting a bit more consistency in the exercise routine. I was able to get in five workouts (3 run / 1 bike / 1 room painted). Each workout was low volume and easy pace as I want to make sure I am completely recovered from the last four months. I have [...]

Yesterday I picked up a new running toy, the Garmin Forerunner 305. In case my wife reads this, I meant to say running “tool” not “toy”.
REI has this bad boy sale priced at $164.99 which is a great price and $35 cheaper than I could find anywhere else. The 205 is also on sale and [...]
