This year I thought I would follow a training plan for preparing for a Half Ironman Triathlon.  I downloaded the weekly workouts, put them all into a nice pretty notebook… (more…)

I get asked a lot what I do to have  such great arms.  Thom came to an upper body training session and a picture is worth a 1,000 words – more or less. (more…)

Thom came to my trainer session Wednesday morning and took photos. It amazes what he can do with that camera. He took probably 40 or 50 photos, and we have whittled that down to these six.

The tire weighs somewhere between 100 and 150 pounds according to my trainer. I flipped it over ten times then low crawled back to the beginning, did twenty jumps and then kicked Shawna 15 times on each side. I didn’t really kick her, she was wearing mitts. I did that routine four times.

The second routine started with sideways jumps. Jump into the tire pop up and out onto the other side. Do that twenty times.

Next was 30 step taps.

Then take off and sprint as fast as you can for about 30 yards, turn around and sprint back.

Do this group three times. The last round instead of sideways jumps, I got to jump forward – way easier!

My workout started at 5:15 AM and ended at 6:15. It was great, but tiring!

Stupid quotation.  It’s on the front of my training log, along with this picture. 

  It’s suppose to inspire me. (more…)
