Anybody looking for a free half marathon training plan? Well Here is one. It was taken from Team In Training where I did a full marathon but they included both of these here. I am posting this for those that are doing the Carlsbad Half. I am doing it myself so I plan to do [...]

I love to go running
I knew that running could be this tough again. It was difficult to run 4 miles on Tuesday and I knew that I wanted it more than anything. I know I will have to wait till I can use the vibrams again to run but I know the way that I [...]

So I decided to make another attempt at the Purple Monster. It is a tough climb. It is about a 2 mile climb but I think it is tough. It goes very steep and seems really long. I did give a little bit more than the last time I tried this ride. I was only [...]

We started off not too early this week at 7:30am. We started in Poway at the Community Park. I had a week off since I was sick last week. I felt refreshed somewhat but had a late night since I was out and only had about 6 hours of sleep. I didn’t feel too crazy [...]

We started our morning in La Jolla at UCSD. It wasn’t early and it wasn’t too cold. I felt a little cold in the morning but once we started it was ok [...]

This spin class was a little different. The coach that I have been doing it with is off to do his Solvang Century bike ride so our coach did it for us today. It was a small group but still good. I changed by bike a bit by lowering the seat to see if that [...]

So my gf and I decided to go for a run. We originally thought that we were going to run at Miramar lake but since I was already sore we decided to run around the neighborhood.
We decided on a distance of two miles since she is comfortable with that distance. So we took off right [...]

Another rain day for us on a Saturday morning. It was earlier than last Saturday. 8am is the time. I got there and we had Kim Mueller come in to talk to us about Nutrition and what we need to do before, during and after our cycling. She gave us a lot of information about [...]
