Got my Sweat On!
I promise that Ragnar Relay race recap is coming…just want some more pictures to show you! Sunday, PTC had a free workout over at CATZ planned. They basically kick you ass in cross training until you fall on the floor. George and I went, there were about 20 people and it felt good to work [...]

Preparing
Lately, we have had a lot of earthquakes in the America’s section of the “ring of fire”. It makes me think, are we prepared? People say that the first 3 days are what you need to prepare for. That means enough food and water to get you through until society stabilizes. I know we probably have [...]

Looking Sharp
Yesterday, after work, I got in an unexpected 4 mile run. I am trying to up my mileage since 6 miles will be the standard for a while (for the olympic races). I want to get comfortable with mileage and I don’t want my body to completely revolt on me when I try to do [...]

We were on the rode within 10 minutes and got to Oceanside fairly quickly (7:30AM). We tried to follow the parking directions from the volunteer coordinator and it [...]
