Four months of the best swimming since, well, high school notched 40 miles from November through February. It was a ton of fun to swim alongside my kids. Got some great pointers from coaches and fellow swimmers (those ten year-old are swim savy!) Wrapped it up with scrimmage with the UNL Swim Club on February [...]

The time over distance, speed/strength over LSD (long slow distance) and intensity of effort over “logging miles” has sunk in deeply now. In looking at January I could feel a few different ways: Down because my running miles were low (67) and almost 1/2 of a year ago. Excited because I had over 300 aerobic [...]

Farewell 2010. Hello 2011! Challenges, opportunities, failure, success, valleys and mountaintops – I encountered a mix of those as well as everyone who reads this post (and like every year before). For the exercise side of my life, the opportunities and successes jump to the front of my mind. The change-up in exercise and nutrition [...]

I’m not offering a quick fix, food gimmick, shake, or simple trick. Over the last year I’ve ventured into a different way [...]

September and October have proven to be a nice fusion of Triathlon (primarily running) and CrossFit, much like late Summer races into early Fall. Have been solo on the CrossFit WOD’s. Am missing my Lincoln CrossFit box greatly, but due to budget limitations, have to get the WOD’s done at home and the YMCA. I [...]
