I have to say, the beginning of my training week has been AWESOME! I knocked out an 18-mile run on Monday. Yesterday I hammered a 120-mile run. Talk about Ford Ironman World Championship confidence builders! Today's training won't be so taxing (but tomorrow's will... shhhh, near full Ironman swim distance).
Here's my Ford Ironman World Championship training for today:
Run 4-miles
Swim 2000-yards
The run will be an easy pace two-mile out and back journey. The swim will be interval training at LA Fitness Valencia. That brick will seem like a walk in the park compared to what the first few days have demanded.
LAVA Magazine! I'm quoted in it! I'm honored that triathlete/blogger Ryan Schneider picked my brain for his article about blogging and how it can help your training. CLICK HERE to read it for yourself! CLICK HERE to follow Ryan on Twitter.

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.
