Ironman Louisville a year later

Yesterday was one year to the date that I completed the Ironman Louisville. I will not be racing here this year but I do know a few people who are. One person in particular is Tood Crandell. Todd as you know is the founder of racing for recovery. You can track him here on Sunday Aug 31st. I wish him the best of luck.

Marine Coprs Marathon Training Week 5


Well another week down. Did a soaking 15 miler today. Not fun to run in the rain. Well I broke 1300 miles running for the year this week. To give you an idea of how far 1300 miles is. If you were to draw a straight line from Philadelphia to Dallas, TX the line would be 1300 miles long. That gives you an idea of how far I have ran so far this year. I will post weekly and monthly totals. Hope all is well with everyone. Enjoy your week and the Olympics.

A BIG SHOUT OUT

I wanted to congratulate my friend Michael Gamble in his outstanding accomplishment in making it to the finals of American Gladiators. Even though he was second he is still a true champ and sportsman. If you missed it watch it here. I will post my monthly totals for July this weekend. Hope everyone is having a good week. KUNG PAO......

Marine Corps Marathon Training Week #4


Well what a week of training. Did 60 miles total. Got a nice track workout in on Thursday. I ended up doing another 20 miler today. I was not sure if I was going to run that far. I slept in and then when I head out I kept going and ended up doing 20 miles. All else is quite on the western front. Enjoy your week.
