I know my updates have alternated between extremely wordy and extremely sparse, and often lacking a lot of interesting substance.  I apologize for that and I know it might continue for a little bit, so please bear with me as I work through all of the craziness that’s going on. Here are the important details: – I’ve [...]

Hey gang, sorry for the lack of a Friday post, it was a really busy day and things got away from me. Anyways, today’s post is brought to you by the numbers 21, 47, 50, 133, 140.6, 683, and 20,000… and by the letters WTF. 21 – The 21st and final stage of the Tour [...]

It’s been quite the busy week this week, hence my lack of posts these past couple days. Lots of news so I’ll just lay it out in a list. How do you know you’re getting more fit? When a ~1 mile swim takes 51 minutes and you know you weren’t going close to full gas [...]

At some point I think we all question how much we can actually do. What is our own personal limit, and is that limit truly physical or merely mental. Each week for the next couple months I’ll be pushing that limit to figure out where it is and then find a way to go past [...]

I’ve been pretty busy lately and a bit stressed out, so I haven’t had as much time as I’d like to blog, which usually helps me with my stress level, so it’s sort of something I need to make time for. Because I haven’t had the time I’d like, there haven’t been as many pieces [...]

They were kind enough to send 2 packets each of their 3 flavors of energy drinks, and 2 [...]

Getting HarderStarting next weekend, each week the ride will be longer than I’ve ever done before. Adding about 45 minutes of saddle time each weekend will be a challenge for sure, especially as we work in some more rolling hills. Starting the week after that the walk/run will be longer than I’ve ever done before. [...]

Sometimes when training, I feel like not everything went the way I wanted. This is not one of those weeks. Even with the holiday and some post 10k soreness, I’ve gotten in all the workouts I had planned, with just one shortened due to shortness. In fact, every time I’ve been on the bike I’ve [...]

With our time in Boston potentially coming to an end soon, I’ve started to think about the things I’m going to miss about living here: The beauty of the tree lined street we live on no matter what time of year Waking up in the morning to see Cambridge across the river every day before [...]

You may remember I won my entry to this race on ActiveAdvantage.com in mid-June. While I only had a couple weeks to train following my less that fulfilling day at the Patriot Half, I wanted to get the taste of a bad race out of my mouth, and at that point any race would do, [...]
