Time run... nearly a half-marathon! My Ironman 70.3 Boulder and Ford Ironman World Championship training schedule continues to increase in difficulty. My total miles running, riding, and swimming this week will top 130. I know I'll do that in one day come October 9th. I distinctly remember that feeling during Ironman Arizona that I was basically combining all my training days into one. At the peak of my training, I'll top 200 total training miles per week.
Here's my schdeule for today:
Run 12-miles
Weight train chest and back
I base the run from The Santa Clarita Athletic Club. I'll then transition to Jordan's Virtual Fit Club for the weight training. Make it a successful day!

Why blog? To inspire others.
Simply put, three years ago I was overweight! At 6’1” I weighed 252, and wore size 40 pants. Few people really noticed, but I did. In pictures, on TV, I was not happy with my appearance. Covering the 2007 LA Marathon for NBC4 was the last straw. Every picture I was in highlighted just how out of shape I had become.
No more! Since that time, the guy who could barely run around the block has slowly built-up his endurance and completed numerous events. Among the big ones: the 2008 Long Beach International Marathon , 2009 & 2010 Surf City Marathons in Huntington Beach, 2009 & 2010 LA Marathons, 2009 Vineman Ironman 70.3, 2010 Wildflower Long Course and 2009 Ironman Arizona!
I invite you to share this journey with me.
