Run Day. 6 miles with hill repeats. I have a perfect little crushed gravel path that .66 miles from my house. About 300 feet of gain and exactly .75 miles from gate to gate. It’s lined with thorough bred horses. Maybe I’ll take a pic. Anyway, this is the longest I’ve gone in the Terra […]
F%$# F&^% F!@# After schlepping my Superlight down to Treads in parker to fix the ghost shifting problem, I now have a not-shifting problem in the back. So I bascially but in about 4 miles on a 3 speed and came home. Luckily, I couldn’t sell the Fisher 29er, so I’ll take that out on […]
Day off! But I’m still seeing 21 patients and then doing a talk for the Parker Tri Club. www.parkertriclub.com
Gotta make up for lost time today. Bike / Swim Day 60 mins on the bike (my 29er on the bike paths since the dirt is mud around here after 3 days of rain. Then off to the pool to do 800, broken up in to various 50’s and 100’s per Kathy Alfino’s instruction (www.milehighmultisport.com)
Weather here sucks, so I’m lifting the next 3 days. I’m gonna go Upper-Lower-Upper over the next 3 days. Steve cotter today and tomorrow and P90x Upper body + on Saturday.
32:00 on the treadmill (barefoot). This treadmill is mis-calibrated, so it always tells me that I’m going slower than I actually am. I like that.
Leg Stregth. I’m breaking out Steve Cotter’s Extreme Workout, Lower body today. This brutal workout, if done with heavy enough weight, is AWESOME. It cranks up the heart rate, makes you think your legs will never make it and hits EVERYTHING in a functional way. It looks a little like this: Double Kettlebell Squats x […]
I did nothing but see 19 patients today. And that’s my rest day. Tomorrow, lower body strength. I probably lift more that I should for these races, but I love the lifting and I’m not exactly in contention to win these races, so who cares? It’s supposed to be fun right?
Run day. 3 miles outside on “heart break hill.” This hill is on a greenbelt near my house. It borders several horse properties, and the horses love to watch the people go by. I think sometimes they are puzzled by how slow I am. The weather was great, I felt great, and I wish every […]
