It was raining pretty hard when I woke up this morning so I have to say I wasn’t revved up to face this morning’s WO. Fortunately when I got there it eased up a bit and I was greeted by friendly smiles from the IRR gang! Juice will be neck-deep in opera […]

Juice met me at the track tonight so I would have a bit of company. He got the IRR WO from Boob and it was close to what I was doing. 3×600m (90″) 3:00, 3×400(60″) 3:00, 3×200m (30″). The 600s were to be in the range of 2:03-05, the 400s in 77″ […]

Juice is taking advantage of past few days of easier recovery running and joined me again for an after work run, this time at Cedar Hill. I did pull away after the first loop but he wasn’t too far behind. I always feel guilty taking off but he insists that he doesn’t mind…I […]

Yesterday was another beautiful, clear day. We got our run over with first thing to beat the heat. I just did 25 minutes with a few strides in the middle. My legs felt ok but still not as light and fluid as I would have liked. I still had the rest of the day […]

Another beautiful day here. We hung out all day next to the hotel pool…yes we are slobs! I stayed in the shade for the most part not wanting to get fried. I spent most of the day sending emails back and forth with friends who were slacking off at work… I am […]

Yesterday’s flight delay in Seattle made for a long day. We caught our first flight at 6am and got to our hotel at about 9:30 pm. I slept hard last night which was great. I usually have trouble sleeping in a new place. We spent the day walking to a couple of […]

When I got to the UVic track tonight there were already a couple of groups there doing their own WOs. Paul O’Cal and Brent both were out coaching a pretty big group mostly made up of the Vikes. Mike Creery came to coach a couple of people from IRR who are wanting […]

I was itching for my run today after work…things are busy right now so shortly after lunch I start to crave a change of scene, some fresh air and doing my run. I went to Cedar Hill tonight and got to have a good try using my shuffle. I didn’t think I would […]
