116 Days to the LA Marathon

It really feels good to finally be able to control my weight.  I figure you can't be a competitive athlete until you can control your weight within a couple of pounds.  I dropped below 170 this morning, working out 2 hours a day did the trick! I can drop 3 to 4 pounds a week if I want.

Have a great Thanksgiving, and, well, Never Give Up!

Went and checked out the In the Dirt Triathlon in Temecula yesterday. That will be my first Tri next year. I think I can win it. Hooked up with my GOOD friend Danny Shaw for the day. The dude rides better than ever, props bro! We hit the trail about mid-pack with the racers and proceeded to pass no less than a dozen of them in the steep hills of Temecula.

We put down 20 miles yesterday and I did another 12 this morning. Going to hit the climber tonight. Expecting to be 167 pounds in two weeks, then start ther serious running for the LA Marathon. NGU!

I didn't start my marathon training so I continue to rehab my legg. It is almost better, maybe two more weeks. I think I can jump into the training at that point since I am already able torun 16 miles. In the mantime biking and the climber don't hurt my leg so I am continuing to train 2 hours a day and dropping weight at a good pace. I should be under 170 in two weeks. If this were easy...well u know.

Down to 175 lbs now, only 10 more lbs to go to my runner's weight.  I can' recall ever being this light.  It feels great.  I'm off for an extended bike ride soon, then work at home for a few hours.  Then a 1100 cal burn before bedtime.

It has been several days since I posted, but that does not mean there has been no progress.  I have dropped a couple of pounds by implementing a new routine.  I have been doing an hour on the stair climber right before bedtime.  I am burning 1100 calories and going to bed.  The pounds are dropping pretty quickly, but it is TORTURE!  I have also been riding all but 2 days since my last post.  I did not give up!

My leg is getting better, I might delay running a couple of more weeks to solidify the recovery.

Have a great weekend!

Rode with the motorcycles this morning, why do they stop and rest?  At least Mountainbiking did not hurt my leg too much this mornign, I was able to forget about the injury at least half of the ride.   Had to fix a flat before I could ride, but I would ride if I had to put a new tire on every day.

Tomorrow is "Stats Day" I don't even want to get on the scale, I don't feel like I have made any progress this month.  Time is running out.

Have a great weekend.  NGU!

‘getting back on the horse after a week full of excuses.  I still have a lot of pain in my leg; I hope it gets better soon.  It’s hard enough to get motivated and knowing that it is going to hurt like hell when you train SUCKS!

145 Days to the LA Marathon

Its been a few days since I posted.  I mountain biked for 12 miles after a long day at work yesterday.  I am a little sick and a lot tired; too much fun over the weekend.  I'll get a ride in at lunch today even though there will be 20mph winds.

NGU!

Same as as yesterday I ran and I rode. I hope I am doing the right thing working / training through the pain. This decision is going to make or break my LA Marathon.

Its beeen 4 days now without training, and I don't think taking any more day off waiting for my groin strain to stop hurting is going to work.  I decided with some help :) to continue my training at a slower pace.  So today I rode...lol

Another beautiful day.
