Bone head move
Yesterday I was freezing, I would be on the couch under blankets. Some points I was sweating bad.  I went to bed and I woke up about 4 times, just drenched in sweat. I started taking meds yesterday hoping that it’s not a cold.  This morning woke up, feeling OK. Body weight was 148.6lbs. I was on the fence about my 12 miles today.  I grabbed my stuff and hit the gym. By mile 1 I was...

Why I run on a treadmill.
I live in Canada, near Ottawa. Our summers can go from 60F to 120F for weeks at a time.  In the winter (now) we can go from the 40’s to -40F with the wind. Some times the snow is ok, and sometimes it’s 2-3 feet high. Where I live, it’s not ideal for running in the winter. We don’t have path’s, and the roads can be slippery, especially if there is black ice.  This is...

Let me say this. With the consistency I have been doing, following this Marathon sced down too a T, Shows alot in my numbers.  My Fall Marathon I half assed it and my only big run was 20 miles, that I sort of ran, and almost took me 4 hours. I saw everything, stars, spots, cement legs. It was horrible. Today it was amazaazzzing!  I set the T-mill to a 0.5% incline, set the speed too 7mph...

20 miles on Saturday, Weather Pending..
Looks like I may have to move my 20 miler indoors on Saturday.   We have no snow, like none.  We got freezing rain over night and it rained all day. So weather pending, it’s not looking good. High of 19f on Saturday… I saw elder and younger people doing the “Marathon shuffle” down the streets, looked like they walking through a mine field. It sucks. Luckily I didn’t...

Last day of work before the holidays.
Last day of work, then I’m off until the 3rd. Exciting and I’ll be away from junk food!  Maybe my weight will level out instead of this yo-yo diet.  Mind you, I’m not complaining, as stated before anything under 160 is good. Unless I get all jacked up and ripped.  Start - Monday 11/14/11 155.6lbs Wednesday 11/23/11 156.0 (Official WIW) Wednesday 11/30/11 151.6lbs (Official...

Ironman Vs Good Samaritan →
What would you do? The results from the Ironman Cozumel triathlon include the dreaded letters “DNF” next to Marie Plummer’s name. But “did not finish” doesn’t begin to tell the story of what happened to Plummer during that grueling race in Mexico.   Plummer, 29, is a health teacher and swim coach at West Stokes High School. She and her husband, Justin, a...
