So I have signed up for the 2009 Marathon at Disney. I'm actually looking forward to it and hoping to have a PB this time. I haven't posted a marathon report for the 2008 mary, but I'll work on some high lights just to psyche myself up for the upcoming one. I start the serious training this...
I love the olympics! Especially the summer olympics because those are the sports that I can compete in. I don't ski, never have. Never ice skated either. I prefer my bones unbroken, thank you. Next month the world is going to be treated to the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Remember...
Here's a nice, static photo... which I enjoyed taking. I like the bright colors. Not too much going on here. Work has been busy and such. Lots of actual sick people, and a variety of people who seem to have an Attention Deficit Disorder (Not enough attention at home). The combo is good though...
Woke up around 5:30am on my own, not by an alarm clock. That is happening more and more as I get older. I asked Doreen if she wanted to go to the race this morning. I didn't expect her to say yes because it was so early. However, she wanted to go. We were up and on the road a little after 6:00am. We...
I think I'm going crazy, I know that I obsess over these bands that we all know and love, but it has been taken to a higher level. I'm seeing them on the streets of London!!! On my way home from my friends house late last night, with a massive umbrella as British summer weather is being a bum, and a...
I'm fucking exhausted. Not sure why though. Had a nice leisurely morning with the Terrorist. Stayed in bed until 10am-ish then he played the video game that I got him for his birthday and I read the book I haven't been able to keep my nose out of. Eventually we both showered and headed out to...
It's been a couple of days since I finished the marathon. I needed a couple of days to remember what happened on Sunday. The entire day just blurred together for me. We got up early. I was up by 3:45. Absent mindedly I put my oat meal into another bag and didn't discover it until I got home later...
They're a bitch. Especially in humid 90 degree heat...
"Do not run the entire 24 hours... DO NOT run 24 hours...Remember, this is JUST A TRAINING RUN....Save yourself for Lean Horse!" I repeated this to myself over and over during the five hour drive down to Laramie and later during the run. After running 41 miles at Kettle-Moraine 100k before being...
Could have used a couple of those yesterday. So I'm back in the saddle with all this marathon training stuff, and the charity I'm running for (Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund) sent me a training singlet so when I run they get a little more exposure for their cause. Well, whatever...

I've been inching my way back into triathlon shape. Last year, with my Dad's illness and time in Chicago, I didn't race and training was limited. I was already coming off my torn calf muscle, and struggled with my running. Then in early November, I had my skin cancer surgery, which required me to...

By the time I had reached the running portion of Ironman, I had been racing for just over nine hours. Now, as I was getting off the bike and moving towards the transition area, I had a 26.2 mile run ahead of me. I was able to complete the bike course without any issues with my gear (for which I was...
I have mixed feelings about training with a group. I love the group per se, we are a diverse bunch who come together once a week to do the long run with an experienced pacer. I know that as the runs get longer, it will be great to have the company. Today we ran 9 miles at a 10 minute pace. I opted...
It's almost time. I was struggling to come up with words to describe how I feel at this moment. The last marathon I was oncall right up until the day before. I was stressed out about the high severity ticket that had come in Thursday. I handed it off to another person (pre-arranged) Saturday morning...
Choosing to compete in a sport or specific event is a great way to get in shape and test your abilities. A few years ago I was running 5ks, 10ks, and half marathons on a regular basis. Which meant I had to train specifically and regularly for my sport. I loved it. It was a great physical and mental...
The last five days have been gone by quickly. I've spent the last week or so making sure that I've gotten lots of water and V8 (Jim's suggestion). This has been a good training season for me. I feel a little nervous but I'm much calmer than I was the last time.
No not the movie...dorks! Maria and I went out for our official first day of training for our next marathon together today. Only 3 miles...short by our standards...but just easing back into things and testing out the knee a little more. I have determined it's going to be wrapped or braced for the...
