Go Green!

I got to try out my new bike cam on my ride to work this morning. I thought I would go green and ride since we have this awesome weather. I also need to get familar with my saddle. We have a big race coming up. I have been riding a lot but not on this saddle. It felt great! I think ill do it again tomorrow. Check out the video of my ride to work. I'm not going to lie its kinda boring but I wanted to test it out before we hit the trails with it. Ok the video isnt working yet...ill keep trying

Thanks!

I had a great birthday weekend! I had a good run one day and a good ride another day. I even played a little soccer or as I like to call it interval training. I am looking forward to the nice weather this week. I think I am going to ride my bike to work tomorrow. I will to post my ride as soon as I figure how with my new bike camera.

Great Day!

Got in a great short run. Just working on some speed. Lots of people were out this morning. I was very happy to see everyone. I am finally feeling back to myself with the running. The weather change was kinda messing with me. I think I am good now though.

One of those days

I felt like crap this morning.....so I hit the snooze and rolled back over. The afternoon got better though. I gave a presentation I my wifes work about shoes and apparel. After work went to bible study. It's late and I'm going to bed and the headache is coming back. Looking forward to a better tomorrow.

Just get out the door

I had a better run today. I went 5 miles with Olli. This weather is so weird. I'm just not sure how to dress. I was cold so I put on another layer. With in minutes I was overheating. I just want it to be hot so I can go shorts and no shirt.

P.S. Marty was right. Where is everyone. I didn't see a single runner this morning.

Labors of Life

My workout yesterday was awful!!! I had 10 miles planned and at mile 5 I had to stop. Before my run I had spent the last 6 hours building and sidewalk from our deck to our fence gate. It took 60 16inch stone pavers. That is what I call back breaking work. My hamstrings and back were and still are blowin up. I hope that is why my run sucked so bad. Anyway my training and blogging has gotten of beat. I am really going to make an effort to get back to it.

Lucky Day

The sun is out, the temp is just right, and I am on my way to drink a green beer! What more can you ask for on St. Patricks Day. I didn't have time to get a workout in. I am not worried about it though. The wife has agreed to run again in the morning. I am excited about that. She is really doing well. It has been neat to watch her transform.

Wake Up Call

WAKE UP Call 6:00a.m.. I talked my wife into running this morning instead of after work. It is not always easy to want to workout after a long day at work. I thought we would try something new. I personally love getting up early. She hates it. It was an awesome morning. The air was very crisp. Even though it is still dark with the time change it is very cool to see and hear the world starting to wake up. I just don't understand how anyone would want to miss that every morning. You should try it sometime. It is very refreshing. Running in the morning also gives me time to get a workout in before bed, too.

Knew it wouldn't last

The weather turned cold again. On top of that day light savings started today and I feel very sleepy. I did not get nearly enough sleep last night. Looks like I am going to have to pull together and suck it up for work today. I'll start the caffeine drip now. Looks like its going to be an evening workout because there was no way I was getting out of bed to workout this morning.

Day Off.....of work

Wow sleeping in feels great! Oh wait I didn't sleep in, for some reason I always get up at the same time. My wife and I both have the day off. Shes still in bed of course, and I am here. That's alright, sleeping in has never been my thing. With both of us off on this overcast but warm Friday we are going to go for an early run whenever she gets up of course. I'm not sure what the rest of the day will bring. I am sure I can come up with a list of things to do around here. Maybe I will find time to get a second run in this afternoon. Maybe it will be raining by then. I always love a good run in the rain.

Busy Busy!!!

Sorry for the delay of news. I am extremely busy with what I call life. I will go back a few days for you. I had and unbelievable weekend. The weather was so nice. Monday my wife and went for a run and it turned into a long walk. She wasn't feeling it. That cool though I have those days. Tuesday I did a little speed work on the paved trail. I felt good. The weather was warm and I think I messed with my lungs a little. Today I got in a short run with the dog. I am looking forward to more warm weather. It is going to rain but I really don't even care. I will take 65 and rain any day over snow at this point in the year.

What A Weekend

It was an amazing weekend!! I got a 20 mile ride in on Saturday and lots of house work done today. I am going to be very upset if it turns cold again. I have so many house projects ready to go. It was so nice to finally be able to ride outside and not be freezing. I tried out a new route and it was awesome. I love the ride down Cherry Tree and River Rd. I also just want to throw in that I had a great time with Mike and Kiley. My dog has been sleeping for like 3hours. She had a great time with Harrison "laberdoodle". Mike and Kiley are both amazing athletes with Multiple Ironman triathlons under there belts. I look forward to riding with you both. What a great weekend. Oh ya the wife finally gets home tonight.

Great Day to Ride

Woke up this morning and the sun was out in full force. I can't think of a better thing to do than go for a ride this afternoon. My wife is gone to Texas for work. Miss you hun. Olli and I spent some of the morning playing and working around the house. Now I am getting the bike prepped and the route figured out on map my ride. I am looking to do a couple of hours. I think my buddy Tom is going to join me for the ride, so that will be fun. Im sure we will end out going out harder then we want. We kind of compete when we ride together.

Time for a Tune up

With the weather turning from cold and bitter to sunshine and cool I thought it would be a good time to get the Mountain bike in for a tune up. I had not fixed the brakes since the wreck I had at the 6 hour off road race. I am excited to hit the trails this weekend as they are saying we will see temperatures in the 50's.

Tough Day!

I am officially over training on my bike trainer. I can't wait for spring. My workout today sucked because I wanted to be outside and I couldn't stay focused. I was already in a bad mood cause my workout was bad and then my car wouldn't start. Luckily my buddy Fritz came a gave me a lift. Thanks Fritz, and thanks for showing me the Subaru hand signal. You are so COOL!! I hope tomorrow brings a better day for me.

Great Day For A Run!

The weather was awesome this morning. Cool 31 degrees with little wind. I love it. Olli and I went for a little speed workout today. The trail was a little icy in some spots but we made it out without a fall this time. I am looking forward to these 50 degree temperatures they speak of. Spring is just around the corner.

Start the year off right

We are planning a race for the end of March to get the season started. This sprint adventure race will be a good test for out new naviagtor. If he passes and we do well I think its going to be a good season. If not, we are screwed. http://www.planetadventurerace.com/indyxpress/ix_sprint/index.shtml
