Post-Thankgiving

Well, Thanksgiving is over and there is much to be thankful for. Over this past year I have traveled and raced in a new part of the country and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have relatively raced injury free and have raced well this year. Although I was expecting to race well in the Thanksgiving day race, Hobbler Gobbler 10k, I was not able due to getting sick. I decided not to race and just pick up my t-shirt. Once I got there I saw women and children (many under 10) braving the cold lining up to do the 5k race. So I sacked up and did the 5k instead of the 10k. I am not sure that was a good choice due to being sick, but once the race started I could not feel my lower half of my body. That could have been due to the cold high altitude air (race temp. 30-degrees). During the last mile I finally felt my stride kicking in and finished feeling great. My finish time was 21:57 and I am happy with that. I was glad to spend some calories before I consumed too many.

Thanksgiving

As many of you know by now I will be out between November 22-26. As you also know, I love to workout, and Thanksgiving day is no different. For the last several years I have always done a Thanksgiving day race. This race serves as a way for me to burn calories, get my self up early that day, and to visit with friends before you head home to over indulge on some good homemade food. This year is no different and I will be running a Hobbler Gobbler 10k, to learn more you can visit "my hobby" page on www.ihatemytrainer.com website.

I encourage you guys to do the same, whether it is a 20-30' walk or 30' run. Whatever you choose you do you will feel much better after and not have to worry about a "little" over indulgence. And, don't forget to stretch!

Been Awhile

When I started this website and this blog I was not intending to abondon it. I am one to wait for a certain date to start doing something, I think some people call it a resolution. But, I feel I need to make one here or at least an announcement.

So, here it is: FROM TODAY ON I WILL NOT ABONDON THIS WEBSITE/BLOG.

I will use this blog to write anything funny, any news related items, and just about anything that is workout related. Well, stay tuned to see if I can keep this resolution...
