Today’s Ironman 70.3 Boulder and Ford Ironman World Championship training kicks it up a notch! I knew this was coming and here it is, my training for today:
14-mile Interval Run
Weight Train Biceps/Triceps
I’ll start my run for Jordan’s Virtual Fit Club in Valencia. After a short 5-minute treadmill warm-up, I’ll hit the pre-planned loop… which I’ll run fast, then slow, then fast a total of six times!
After my run, I’ll hit the weights at Jordan’s! Have a GREAT weekend!

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.
