Marien Corp Marathon

Well I had a good run at the MCM did a 3:32. Four minutes better that last year. I ran with a water Six bottle water belt... Don't ask me why? I definitely feel it had a negative effect on my overall run. I can't complain I did improve over last year. I really wanted to been in the 3:20s!!! I may run the NCR marathon next month to make that happen.

Stay tuned!!

Had a great race today Annapolis Ten Miler. I ran a PR 7:12 pace 1:11. The course was awesome. Had more HILL than expected and the residents in the neighborhoods were very supportive! I will defiantly run this one again.

Ride

I went on a ride with Harford Velo today, 36 miles - Flat and happy ride. I just need some easy miles. I have a 10 mile race tomorrow “The 34 Annapolis 10 Miler” or “A10".

With that in mind I had my first (hope last) bike crash today. Went down and had my left lower leg ran over by the bike behind me. Ouch. I have road rash on my knee and top of my foot and ankle. That should rub nice in a running shoe. Other that that I had a good ride!! Thanks Harford Velo.

Came in 3rd place for my Division.

First Tri of 2009 - Cascade Lakes

On the first Tri of the year I placed 2nd in my division.

I had my first event of this season. The 1st Annual Fallston Duathalon, came in 17th place over all. Could have pushed alot harder on the both runs. My chain popped off on the ride. I also busted my tail on the rolling dismount in the wet weather. Stilled pulled a 17th and sure I would have been top 3 in my age group if it were not for my two blunders.

I am going to start the bike run workouts.

Current Training and Event Schedule

Saturday I rolled a 25 mile ride, 1 mile swim, 7 mile run and 1 hour of cardio

It’s been a few good weeks. I am making major progress on the my planters fasciitis. I bought a Strasburg sock. Wow the first night I wore it what a difference. So if anyone has tight calf’s, Achilles Tendonitis, or planters fasciitis you need to buy on the these socks. I wish I would have don’t this 3 months ago!!!! Ok started street biking, and running out side, and just started the swim…..

Current Training and Event Schedule

My Under Armuor Shoes

One Pair to Move the BODY!!


One Pair to Move the IRON!!


I really like my new Under Armour shoes. I cross train in a pair and run in a pair. I don't know which ones I like better. The Trainers are by far the best overall workout shoe I have ever worn!! I did two Bricks this week- one was- biked 32 miles followed by a 8 mile run. It feels good to get back to running!!!

Week of 2-16

Motivation is what gets you started!
Desire is what keeps you doing it.


Feels good to be back running? This week I lifted, ran, rowed and biked.
Did an indoor TRI today. I think I will do my own TRI every Friday or Sunday.
