4 weeks until the weight loss competition at work ends. 19 weeks until Tough Mudder. This week, aside from 2 good running days I didn’t do much else. I didn’t even lift any weights. So training was not that good this week. At least I maintained my diet. I took my measurements today. I weighed […]

Time to kick it up a notch!

“Get up in the morning, gotta thank God.”- Ice Cube. Got to the track and did 4 miles today. Felt better running today than I did the other day but I wasn’t sick anymore today and the track is flat so no steep hills (any hills) to deal with. I kept it at 12:30 min\mile […]

Beautiful morning for a 4 mile run

View from the top of the Hearbreak Ridge.   Went for a morning jog today at a place we (my brothers and I) like to call Heartbreak ridge. Heartbreak ridge is a 2.5 mile loop which has you climbing up for the first mile and then gradually declines on the back end before flattening out […]

I’ll start Monday!

Pretty much most of my adult life, whenever I decide it’s time to start working out again, I say “I’ll start on Monday.” Then I eat another slice of pizza. Monday comes around, then Tuesday, then Wednesday, and I haven’t done anything, and “I’ll start on Monday.” Since I’m gonna start on Monday, I take […]

Tough Mudder in March!

Last night, I went to eat at Roscoe’s chicken and waffles (what, it’s my cheat meal!). It was my first time there and it was delicious. It was a lot of food though and all I wanted to do afterwards was go and lay down. On “The Boondocks” Grandpa called it “the itis.” So this […]

I started week 2 of my strength training program. I lift weights 3 days a week, (usually Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) with the same workout on Tuesday & Saturday, and  a different one on Thursday. The program is five sets (2 warmup sets, 3 working sets) of each exercise, going heavy and staying within the […]

Went for a run this morning at my old high school track. This is my favorite track to run at even though there is another one just a short walk away from my house. It was a nice, cool morning. The sun was just coming up and the air smelled nice. I just bought a […]

Back at the track, Jack!

The polling place is down the street from my house so I decided that I would walk there. Now, I’m the kind of guy who drives everywhere but I figured I’d get some sunshine, some fresh air, some exercise. It was nice. Took about 20 minutes round trip. Only objection- the sun was right in […]

That’s me a few years ago finishing an 12 mile adventure race through rivers, mud, hill, mountains, and a bunch of obstacles. It’s been a long time since I’ve done any real running and it wasn’t until a couple months ago that I got into lifting again. For the most part, I’ve just been surfing…channel […]

What kind of nutrition plan do I need to follow if I want to be big and strong and have the energy to go on long runs? I went online to find out. There are countless articles of bodybuilders who eat 10,000 calories a day in order to keep up their massive physique. When I […]

This year I got into WWE again. I hadn’t watched since the days of the Rock N Sock Connection. I had never gone to a live event so I bought tickets to Monday Night Raw and decided that in order to get the full experience I would need to get caught up on the storylines […]

These are my brothers (from left to right) Justin and Mike. They are ultrarunners, which means they run very far. For fun. A week ago they made their 3rd attempt to finish the EC100, a 100 mile race from Norco, California to Santa Monica. I’m the big guy holding the bike, and that’s Josue to […]
