Lets Get it Started!


Its on baby!

Officially, it all started today. The reinvention of the Hackwood started with a solid 45 mins on the new spinner (check out the pick).

I should have been on this years ago. This will be an integral part of the offseason program. I read all about proper spinning today along with the 20 minute time trial, which will give me an update on my fitness as we go, more on that later.

So here we go, I have decided to enter into some winter/spring racing for starters. These will be my midterm exams so to speak. I know myself well enough, there won’t be any studying going on if there aren't any exams! So here is what we have for the winter. I’m really pumped for this. Not kidding, I’ve put 10lbs back on in six weeks, I can’t have it. I won’t have it!

* Burlington Chilly Willy – Half Marathon – March 4th
* Race Around The Bay – 30K – March 25th - America”s oldest road race, and about as tough as it gets. Wasnt long ago I had to walk this one in ....redemption, must have it!

In order to really enjoy racing in the winter, you have to put in the time and effort to be ready. In a couple of weeks, I will need to lay down the pre training and training program to get er done.

The goal here is to hit the spring in solid form. Possibly take a shot at an early marathon, and get ready for some smaller tris.

Goals next week, set up the workout program and find a pool. Looking forward to sharing some thoughts, stories along the way to try to liven this up....

Check out the new additions....recipe of the week, inspiration of the month, goto reads....

I’m planning on throwing some vids, etc along the way, hopefully some funny stuff, cuz this is going to get old quick!


Stay tuned!
