In the weeks leading-up to the Ironman, I trained in Lake Mary in wetsuit and made progress, however after learning of the very warm Ohio River Temperatures, 86 degrees, wetsuits may not be permitted. I had two open water swims without a wetsuit and struggled greatly, managing only two sessions. Friday night, the Welcome Banquet confirmed my fears that wetsuites would not be permitted. (Wetsuits enable a bouyancy and technology permits one to amazingly cut throught the water). Saturday... Read Full Story

With the 4th July week-end upon us, I intended my B.O.W. 10k to be run Saturday Morning but the week-end festivities started Friday night with a bike ride date with the wife for wine and cheese at an upscale restaurant where we have no business dining on our budget.

The following morning, I vaguely remembered the previous night's commitment to bike ride to the Art Fair. Really? We did... Read Full Story

The Running Bob's Race Report Pasta and plenty of sleep combined with the first HOT Morning (above 80 and intense sun ) for the year are the right ingredients for a perfect race day!

Why change when you have something tried and true? My Brooks Glycerine 6 are previous years (note the plural use) model. In fact, Brooks moved-on to Glycerine 8's this year and due to my allegiance to the 6's, I completely missed the model 7 year(s). Were there years? My trip to the local shoe store hadn't received the 8's but had the Glycerine 7's which was fine by me! Not breaking them in was a mistake though, as I developed identical bliseters on my inner heals. This week-end's race kicks... Read Full Story

Driving to work this morning my sore muscles were the residual reminder that I accomplished quite a lot this week-end which lead to a knowing smile that I pushed myself to see what was there. I took chances and went further and faster than before leaving me to dream of my potential on race day. Through these training sessions, I'm forming myself that will define me on one day. Today, I feel accomplished. Tomorrow, I will feel... A Reminder... LOOP SUMMER RUNNING SERIES CONTINUES WITH THE... Read Full Story
