I had three things in mind for our trip to Phoenix. Firstly, putting in a great race to cap the year. If that was accomplished then finding a well done margarita. Then hitting the road for an interesting drive through the desert. Race day. I felt loose and ready to go. There's much less

With a long racing break between Westchester and Amica Phoenix 19.7 on November 7th I decided to hop in the Metro State XC Invite a couple of weekends ago. With the end of the season nearing, I've been popping more speed into my runs and running workouts at a higher intensity. I even broke 3

Yesterday I got 7th at the Boulder Peak Triathlon, 1 spot better than my 2008 finish which was my best race that season. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do this race until Thursday when I was able to run 5 miles without too much achilles tightness. Three weeks ago I did the Th

On Monday I returned to training and was able to make it through the week with 1 fairly light training session per day. My knees cooperated for the most part, and as I write this I am almost 1/2 way through my second week of training and things are still moving in the right direction. A summary
