I almost never cry at movies… but put on an Ironman race and I'm tearing up through half of it. IM Lake Placid 2005r is one of my favorites. Heather Furh had an amazing race to win, a once 400lb man feld on the edge of a DNF and just made the bike cut off…

So a few days ago I almost posted for Lisa that she'd be welcome to stay with me the weekend of the OC marathon and half. Then yesterday my roommate and I decided we might move. And not together! He's the best roomie ever (and I've got him biking, and then running, and he even…

Brandon (TdB) did a great writeup of this race, but here are some of my memories of the race with Brandon, Alfred, and Randy: Team UTM in a Haystack. Friday morning I got up, finished the last few bits of packing, and was about ready to go. I headed out, the car ready with waterbottles,…

Ok ok, I get it. So I wasn't supposed to work out this weekend… there could have been an easier way for the forces-that-be to let me know! First they gave me a false sense of security… 12.5 miles of running and a good karate class started off my weekend. This accoomplisment continued into Saturday…

I'm definitely pleased with my new Friday morning loop for running. I did it for the second Friday in a row today. It really takes exactly 2 hours, and has some spots at the end where it will be easy to add a mile or so when I'm in the mood. It starts with some…

The weekend started well — 2 hr run on Friday morning before I had karate class. Although I started the run about 45 minutes later than I meant to (I should have done some martial arts practice and a lesson before class) I kept going for the two hours. I'm glad I did… I managed…
