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 [...]

Okay, I know that is an oxymoron, but bear with me here for a second or two and let me explain.

It didn’t start too bad and was actually supposed to be some what of an off week since we are between Tri-Fit sessions.
Monday I had a great swim workout. Tuesday I had another awesome run workout and I am now happy to say that I can get a 5k training run done in about [...]

Okay, so I’m going to keep it short and sweet this week. But first, I apologize for no post last week. My hard drive decided that it was going to start to die and I had to focus all my time on that. Like making sure that everything was properly backed up, [...]

It’s mid May 2007; I’m overweight, out of shape and it’s time to do something about it! About 2 years ago I had been walking a lot, almost every day to be exact and I was starting to get in shape. But then I lost my walking partner (we lost our dog Venus [...]
