The 2012 racing season is just about here and I’m about as giddy as a tweener at a Justin Bieber concert! Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy…. At times I thought this winter and indoor training season would never end and, yet, here we are in May and I’m all registered for my [...]

Posted: January 25, 2012 in Lifestyle, TrainingTags: Long, Schedule, Time
So it’s a new year with a completely new set of goals and with it, a brand new training season. And you know what that means: more ‘Suck’. It’s true, the overall level of ‘Suckitude’ is about to amplify significantly given the task at hand come September. Yup, the ‘Big Suck’ is back with a [...]

At times, it seemed like it was never going to get here and, lately, with the way things have been going on the ‘ol home front this month, part of me feared it never would but, at last, I’m almost Mexico bound! I guess the good news is that with all the ongoing drama in [...]

Blessed are those who are flexible, for they shall never be bent out of shape. I bit the bullet this morning and enrolled for a month’s membership at Yoga by Sarah, except, in an attempt to feel more, well, manly and buff about it, I’m going to instead refer to as ‘Fox Base Yoga’. [...]

Posted: May 6, 2011 in Lifestyle, TrainingTags: Brick, Long, Schedule, Time
Okay, so to quote one Private William Hudson: it’s time to “quit your grinnin’ and drop your linen people”. What I’m ever so eloquently trying to say is, that’s it’s finally time to get things revved up into full gear.

I have mentioned a few times in recent posts that I am currently beginning to transition into my second ‘Base’ training period or, what I know as the ‘Big Suck: Part 2’, with my first Half Iron (training) event being only three months off. What’s the difference between this particular base period and what I’ve [...]
Now that I’m making the conscious effort to cut down on my caloric intake and, hopefully, loose some more fatty poundage going into my Base training period, I’ve become fixated on discovering the most optimal times to eat throughout the day. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that this whole ‘eating healthy’ bullshit certainly [...]
The Brussel Sprout Philosophy

I was scheduled this evening for my weekly weights session followed by a nice, easy 30 minute recovery run. But seeing as how it was still pretty icy and cold out I decided that I would do my jog on the ‘dreadmill’ instead. Besides, it takes me nearly 15 minutes just to get suited up [...]
