Burpee, that's what you do with tupperware to get all the air out right? Just kidding. I request a demonstration of said exercise next time I see you.
I have been contemplating running the St. Paul Frozen Half-marathon next Saturday. Unfortunately my last long run was on December 13, for 2 hours. I wish I would have had one more in but it's too late. So...I haven't decided yet. What do you think? I could have been in the position to do really great on this one (great for me) but things have gone a bit downhill in the past month.
I'm working today, better get to it. Have a great day!
Do it! You are definitely ready to do your best long race ever. Based on your times you will smash your other races....I will show you burpees, you should do them -- they are great. You can look them up online.
Hey Zack, you found my blog! Was going to ask you about it first. Looked like such a great idea, I had to try it. Be sure to read the second post I made, giving you 'props' for the idea. To summarize the post... sorry that my blog looks just like yours! Anyway, we should definitely go for a run soon. I'm getting my legs back under me, so even if your hamstring is feeling better, I can hopefully keep up. You're doing some hardcore workouts already! Keep up the good work!
I started to casually run 5k's, 10k's, and half marathon's in the late 90's. My first real triathlon was the Pigman Half Ironman in 2004. Since then I have slowly but consistently improved my fitness while competing in a variety of multisport races each year. However, I have always shied away from the full Ironman. Until 2009 that is. I am creating this blog to chronicle my quest to become an Ironman on September 13th, 2009 in Madison, Wisconsin. On that day, the first and main goal will be to finish. But to me, I hope it is much more than that. This is a way for me to get to know myself better. It is a way to test my limits and see where they might be. I believe that life truly is a game of inches. The inches I need to get better and become an Ironman are all around me. My Ironman prep is in everything I eat, the way I think, the way I train, and the way I influence others. Striving and fighting for those inches is truly living. What am I going to do? Come back here to find out. My blog is a place where I will chronicle my training and give my personal opinions on health and fitness.
