“YOU CANNOT HAVE WHAT YOU DO NOT WANT.” –John Acosta
Before work! That’s my new training philosophy three days per week. I’ll be in the field reporting dayside so I have to make early mornings my new training time. Here’s the Ironman 70.3 Boulder and Ford Ironman World Championship training I knocked out before I started work this morning:
Run 5-miles
Swim 1000-yards
I started my workout at 5:30am by running the hill loop near my home in the Santa Clarita Valley twice. From there I swam at LA Fitness Valencia. I know what it’s like to feel refreshed at vibrant before work. It’s a routine I plan to embrace!
Don't forget! You can now officially register for the 2011 LA Marathon! See you there!

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.
