Yesterday was the first time I’ve participated in a race since the San Francisco Marathon in July 2009. So here’s the blow by blow. …the temps were extremely low. A cold front came through Saturday night, and when I got to the start of the race, the temps were 33 deg. St. Pete, FL??? 33 [...]
If you think you can do it, or you think you can’t do it, You are right.
So after the great rides that I completed on Jan 28th (25.30 miles), Jan 29th (13.07 miles) and Feb 2nd (20.61 miles) I was all psyched to do a long ride of 30 miles. I was mentally and physically ready to go this distance, and on Saturday Feb 4th my ride began. I started my [...]
My “Unofficial Race”
Ivy Lake/Suncoast 13.1 mile run by gtodd1977 at Garmin Connect – Splits.

Because of that, I was able to take advantage of [...]

The dangers of running….
I have officially recovered from my 2 week Thanksgiving hiatus from running. I fell into the typical excuse of being to busy to get my running in. Then I tried to use the excuse I am to tired and just didn’t feel like it. Those excuses don’t work very well with the people I work [...]

Back to Basics!
It is all about the fundamentals. If you have ever played sports, you have heard that statement several times. So I know I fell off the grid for a few months since my last entry, but I’m back! Several things have changed in my running journey. I struggled for several months with being consistent and [...]
