Xterra/Gas/Jaw/Trees/2012
Of course, multi tasking. Looking over Kat's Xterra 12 week program she won being the South Cup Champion. Yes, the South Cup Champion. There are definitely some flaws to this. Primarily no rest weeks. And with life there's truly few people who have 14 hours to train. I've gotta figure out who this guy is. It's a nice program, and you will get faster. His rest weeks are full of intensity. It's half the training, I just don't think his cookie cutter program fits all. That's the trouble with some
DORBA 24 hours of Erwin Park
6.6.10 I love Sundays, I love life, I love doing different things. This morning I wanted to go help out a friend, Terra Firma Promo and a client, Rich Szecsy so my alarm went of at 4 AM. I showed up just in time. Rich had just given up on eating, or drinking anything but water. I brought my usual nummy nums: watermelon, big hit, didn't bring near enough. Moldy poops, otherwise known as 'caveman bars': dates, honey, cashews and coconut, espresso, he didn't like that too much and chicken, that
Sunday, oh glorious Sunday
Hey, went mountain biking yesterday. I know, I know, I'm not supposed to go for at least another 3 weeks. Slow down, I took my baby monkey over to L.B. Houston in Irving yesterday while my oldest little monkey was swimming. She was a little freaked out at first, her first time, for the most part on single track. She was doing great, putting her feet down when she felt she needed to. Well, until we saw a 3 foot snake. She totally freaked, stopped, dead even with the snake, and
Running Tip
On occasion run barefoot. To start, find a nice soft grassy field, like a soccer field and run a short distance barefoot. You can graduate to a track, and to asphalt. This helps in strengthening the muscles of the lower leg/foot including all your stabilizing muscles. Slowly increase your distance/time. There’s a whole group, can you believe, who run marathons barefoot?!? The nice thing about running barefoot, your body can feel when you are not running in proper
I surrender
It's like that time I had bronchitis and a sinus infection and went to the Dirty Dozen, after 6 hours, I just had to quit. My lung sputem was so dry, I just couldn't go on. I still got 3rd place. It took Mr T to tell me I was warm. I have a fever of 100. I'm done. I did everything that I could, and only a few people stood by me. Thank you to those who stood by me, that meant the world to me. I just can't go on

Balance
Today, I got out of the car to run at the trail, started walking, and figured out. I am just too tired for this. Got back in my car and went to my surgery appointment. I had a great conversation with the Superintendent of Argyle Schools. We'll see if we get some action jackson, or just lull. So why the heck am I so tired. Well, went to Master's Swim yesterday with Coach Tom Radam, the best swim coach in the whole world, Irving Swimmers/Irving Masters/Fountain of Youth Masters. And well,
Bartonville, Texas Elections
Not much of an election when no one runs, not much of an election when there's a couple of seats open and only 10% of the community comes out to vote. And congratulations to everyone who did vote that was awesome. I had one concern about our election. Why was it we were told that the gas companies were going to pay to fix our roads and then we had a bond this election for a sales tax increase to fix our roads. It makes me feel like some one isn't
