We look like shit.

September 3, 2012 | Filed under: Training

Somewhere between mile 12 and 15.

30 Day Challenge

August 31, 2012 | Filed under: OpHardcoreFit, Personal Life, Status, Training

Ever since Lauren completed her Bikram 30-Day Challenge, she’s been planning her next one.  Not necessarily Bikram, but a 30-day challenge to push herself and make her a better, healthier person.  She settled on a combination of things and this time, I’ll be taking part as well.  Time to get …

Back to School, Jack’s Birthday and a Severe Lack in Training

August 29, 2012 | Filed under: Personal Life, Training

A Lack in blogging as well, but that doesn’t bother me.  In fact, be prepared to see fewer updates, because its (almost) September. I started the fall semester on Tuesday.  I’m not sure what to think of it yet.  I originally signed up for a class in modeling and simulation, …

Ch ch ch Chia!

August 9, 2012 | Filed under: Status, Training

Before last Sunday’s long run, I tried something new for a pre-run snack.  In Born to Run, McDougall encounters chia seeds in the form of iskiate.  He described it as a slime that looked unappetizing, but when he tried it, he was surprised at the sweet citrus taste.  More so, …

Quick Recap of Week 7

August 8, 2012 | Filed under: Training

Tuesday Went out at lunch for a little over 4 miles. Nothing fancy. Wednesday Went to Hanson’s for the Brooks Cavalcade of Curiosities Tour.  I bought myself a new pair of shoes, Brooks’ PureCadence. Thursday Took my new shoes for a test run on the treadmill during lunch break.  I …

A Weak Week 6 in the Books

July 30, 2012 | Filed under: Personal Life, Training

The back was still hurting after last Sunday’s incident, so I managed to run TWICE for the week.   So not much running-wise to recap, however plenty of other things happened… Mond…. Forget it, lets just skip to the weekend… Friday Didn’t have work, so I was able to run in …

Week 5 Recap – I had a lot of pizza.

July 23, 2012 | Filed under: Personal Life, Training

I actually wrote during the week, so the recap is short…er. Tuesday Used the treadmill at lunch.  Whenever I’m on the treadmill, I only have so long until I’m bored out of my mind, so I try to be efficient.  Ran the first 5k in 26:15.  I tried using the …

Lost in the Woods, Stranded on the Road

July 20, 2012 | Filed under: Personal Life, Training

“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both” -Robert Frost I went to bed Wednesday night with the ambition of running in the morning.  As per the usual case on workdays, I didn’t.  Instead, I packed up my gear and went off to work.  …

Week 4 Recap

July 16, 2012 | Filed under: Personal Life, Training

Aside from the weekend, it was a fairly uneventful week to recap.  Once again I failed to go 3 for 3 on my midweek runs.  There’s always week 5.  Lets skip to Wednesday. Wednesday So I packed my running gear to take with me to work.  On a whim, I …

Week 3 Recap

July 9, 2012 | Filed under: Personal Life, Training

Well I had a goal of ramping up the mileage a bit this week.  Then the weather reached or came close to record highs with heat indices consistently reaching 100°. I never have a consistent format for these recaps, but lets try a new one today… Monday ( I just …

Week 2 Recap

June 30, 2012 | Filed under: Personal Life, Training

Technically there is one more day to my week, but tomorrow is either a quickie or cross-training. Weekday workouts can be so hard to fit in between work and family.  Wednesday’s run was hashed out before work.  One of the better pre-work runs I’ve had in a while.  Thursday’s run …

Weekend Recap

June 25, 2012 | Filed under: Personal Life, Training

Weekends never last long enough. First things first:  ran 8 miles on Saturday morning.  It took a lot out of me, but it also felt great.  The calves felt much better.  There were tons of people out along Lake St. Clair, except for when I snapped this shot, 5 miles …

My Training Plan (yawn)

June 21, 2012 | Filed under: Schedule, Training

So day 2 came and I already started jumbling workouts. After Tuesdays 3.5 miles of running with calves that would not loosen, on Wednesday I was constantly digging into my muscle, trying to get out the knots. Had a small chat with fellow father and Dailymiler, Brian about training plans. …

Week #1 is Going to Be Hot.

June 19, 2012 | Filed under: Status, Training
93, 95, 86, 80, 81

Literally hot; not Paris Hilton “That’s hot” hot. Its forecasts like these that remind me I really need a nice handheld waterbottle.

Happy Father’s Day

June 17, 2012 | Filed under: Personal Life, Training

To all the Dad’s out there, I hope you are having a great Father’s Day.  Jack’s gift to me is sleeping in, apparently.  Grandma and Grandpa had him all day yesterday while Lauren and I went to a wedding.  So, he’s pooped.   Which gave me time for a run.  …
