One Clydesdale’s Journey

I know, I know, I’ve been terrible at getting stuff posted. What can I say, other than what I’ve already said in the past; life gets in the way at times.
Things have been a bit hectic lately and as a result some things have been suffering. That includes my time to write any [...]

So I’ve managed to pick out a few races that I want to and I’ve also narrowed down at a least a few weekends that I want to race; I just need to decide which race.

Well the tri season may be over, but Shelly and I have one more major race ahead for the year.
We have both decided to do the Lakefront Discovery run 15k which is coming up at the end of this month.

Well, this was a baaaad week for training!
I was looking forward to tapering up after the Devil’s Challenge and continue on my training plan for my 15k at the end of October. But, it seems a small microscopic virus decided to get in my way.
