I’m nervous about this half marathon thing. Really Nervous.
Which is why I’m thinking about doing it. Call it a New Year’s Resolution.
Although, I’m going to have to wait to register – I will consider myself “in.”
Guess I’m going to get up and run tommorrow!

Well I’m an official marathon entrant now, and who is coming with me? I signed up for the Music City 1/2 marathon just now. The price goes up like $20 after today, so I wanted to get the discount before the first of the year.
Dang this just seems funny to be doing a …

It’s a big question for all of us – how do you balance training and life? We’re all busy people without having to train – so, how do we do it? Well – for me anyway, triathlon training has become an important part of my life, and I feel that it adds so …

In my previous post about getting started in triathlons, I outlined some steps to get you going – the first of which was answering the question – “What are your goals?”

Today was another good post-holiday workout. I couldn’t resist going back for more running – and I’m still working my way up to a good solid run. I started my run split at 5 minutes walk (to warm up), then a 5 minute run. Then, I dropped down to a 2/3 minute …

Well the verdict is in…after eating as much as I could for 3 days solid, not exercising one bit, and even laying around more than usual…I still managed to lose 1 pound. I was 220 pounds before the holiday season, and this morning I was 219. I was pretty pumped. I cannot …

With New Year’s right around the corner, one thing I’m hoping to hear from family, friends, and readers is the resolution to compete in a sprint distance triathlon this year. There is no other hobby that will add as much to your life as an endurance event.
The first thing you’ll need …

I’m sure some of you guys will think this is a weird gift – but, I thought it was perfect. I got a nice selection of Powerbars and Detour Protein bars for Christmas this year – and I really needed them.
When I first started training, I used these as meal replacements actually – I …
