Getting back into the swing of things....

Mileage looks sloppy and so does my weekly miles... Gotta keep swinging!



I have the long run nailed but I can't get the mileage done. A hiccup here and there!

I do believe in SCIENCE and that picture up there pretty much sums it up.

Strategic planning and coaching has consumed me these last few days with more time spent on athletes. I have backed away from training in the last few weeks but it should be rewarding once I start training again. I'm currently taking on new roads, I have been blessed with many great people in my life. There are some new things on the horizon for me! I'll be tackling four jobs that require a lot of me but at the same time it is real rewarding! I can't wait for the next step!





Oh! let me talk about running! I have been accepted into the Developmental Program there in Chicago! So I'll be running the Chicago Marathon with a goal of SUBBING 2:25!



Looks like I'm gonna have to do doubles this summer in order to achieve my goal! I hope you guys are running up a storm! I hardly write on my blog, I've got so many other things in my life going on, so just watch my miles rise! :P

Keep on TRUCKING!

My blog is slow ..

My blog is currently slow because I haven't raced or train for anything in particular! Looks like everyone is excited about a race or two... I'm just happy to be alive and still able to put my feet out the door! Keep on logging those miles! :)

Austin Marathon 2012

I come out at 1:06

How bad do you want to be successful ?

I'm gonna show you how great I am!

Moral of the story - Come in 1ST

Coach Renato Canova speaks about marathons

Don't be afraid to fail - Joe Newton

Maybe it’s my fault

 maybe I led you to believe it was easy, when it wasn’t, maybe I made you think that my highlights started at the finish line and not in the gym, maybe I made you think every race I won was easy, that my speed was built on flash and not fire, maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength, that my pain was my motivation, maybe I made you believe that being fast was a God-given gift and not something I worked for each and every single day of my life, maybe I destroyed the sport or maybe, I’m just making excuses

Me since spending the holidays at home and not working!

Need a balanced diet. haha! :) Almost Almost!!

Finally!

Well FINALLY I changed my layout! I'm stoked that that my blog looks semi professional! hehe Anyways for those of you that are wondering what the heck is going on with me? I've gotten e-mails, text, msgs, phone calls and even my sponsors are wondering what is going on?

First of all I had a corneal transplant on Dec 20, 2012 and the doctor hasn't released me! I'm currently just doing an hour of cardio on the bike! I'm suppose to be doing power walking! Yea I know bummer! Look down below for some power walking tips



by the way I stopped doing the power walking because a) raining B) long and boring




It sucks knowing that you can't run or jog! These last few stays have been a pain in the butt since I got nothing to do buT lounge around, but guess what? I have a doctor's appointment on Friday and hoping to hear good news! In the hope of good news I'll be putting some bike time these next couple of days! I hope your training is going good! Keep on pounding those MILES! :)

1/6/12 to 1/12/12

Sunday: 1 hr bike
Monday: 1 hr bike
Tuesday: 1 hr bike
Wednesday: 1 hr bike
Thursday: 4 mile walk/jog/run getting anxious! :) 1 hr bike

This is why I run outside as much as I can. Who knew treadmills can be so dangerous.

When signing up for a marathon seems like a brilliant idea

Expectation:

Starts out:

17 miles in:

Dec 30 - Jan 5

Sunday: Nothing just watched the Cowboys lose again!
Monday Dec 31, 2012 I didn't run just counted the miles I did for the year! Lowest mileage to date!
Tuesday: Jan 1, 2013 I went and did 4 miles walking at 12 min pace
Wednesday: It was raining and couldn't do anything outside.
Thursday: I did 20 miles on the stationary bike in 50 mins
Friday: 20 miles on the bike 50
Saturday: 20 miles on the bike 50
