The full committment.

I think a few of us are 100% in now. I’m even more excited!
In the pool today, I managed to knock almost a minute off my 400m time, finishing up in 10:26. Of course, I’ve already signed up in the 12:30 slot for the race so I’ll either have to pass, or be …

I’m in 100% now

Well I just registered for the race. It cost a total of 58.01, because of some processing fee that I didn’t know about. Anyhow I’m in for a swim time of 10:30. Pat told me to go for 12 when I said 10, so I did a happy medium. I didn’t …

Quick update

The weather today sucks. So, it’s looking like I’ll be indoors on a bike or treadmill tonight. Maybe tommorrow we can get outside after the traditional swim, and maybe run a lap and bike 5-6 (so, bring your bike Keohan).
I have some happy news (for me, anyway)…after a little over 3 …

Well, Well, Well

After driving from Memphis on Friday, I got my hair cut at Murray. Then, went and attempted the whole thing at the Wellness Center with Lil John. Wow! That was the first time I did the swimming. Not because I thought it would be easy. The other way around. …

Stunted, Sloppy Sunday

My plan for today was to head to the park again, get some big time running in, and do about 15 miles on my bike. Because of the crappy weather all afternoon, I only managed to get about 3 miles in running (in the freaking rain) and about 5 miles on the bike before …

The difference is in the equipment.

So, I scratched my plans to swim/run today, because I HAD to take the new bike out for a ride. I can’t even begin to describe the difference. It was amazing. I was able to pedal up hills easily, and used about 60% of the effort I used to on the flats …

Faster than a speeding bullet…

I’m going to sling out an update.
Pat, thanks for the info below!
40 min. on the treadmill today. 1.5 incline – had to do more walking than I’d like, but also have two huge workouts planned for the weekend, and don’t want to over do it. Ended up a little over 3 miles.
Going to …

Update on the shorts

while I am still not comfortable wearing them without a shirt, they actually feel really good and make the run a little easier. I did not try the bike tonight because of the weather, but between the shoes, shorts, and knee brace, I may actually be able to jog instead of walk. …
