I ran 12 miles yesterday morning in the metroparks in Berea. My dad and I finished 8 miles by 9:45am and the final 4 came during our Fun Run my brother, father, and I put together to help raise money for those affected in Boston. We had people who loved to run and/or wanted to support the cause...

Not me! My motto is "respect the mileage"! If you don't then your setting yourself up for injuries. Yesterday I ran 5 miles at 7:30/mile pace. Today I completed the following CrossFit WOD: 18 minute AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) 5 Wallballs 4 Deadlifts 4 Dips 5 Box Jump My next...

It is indeed! Yea I've known her for 3 1/2 years now and we email each other every once and a while. She's my go to expert for sports nutrition!

Is it Tara?

Well I have developed a friendly relationship with a sports nutritionist that works at the Cleveland Clinic so I get a lot of information from her. Also, Food and physical fitness are my two biggest hobbies so I'm knowledgeable in both areas!

It is true! It's one of the best, if not the best, recovery drinks out there. It has the right ratio of carbs, protein, and fat to speed up recovery. To get the best results, drink it within an hour or less.

Just signed up for the Dopey Challenge! I suspected that the dopey challenge would sell out quickly, but I didn't think it would be this fast. I had to make a quick decision on whether to sign up earlier than I wanted to or wait and miss the opportunity to participate. In the end, nothing is...

I'm hoping to one of the perfectly dopey runners! Good luck with your training!

This morning I ran 10 miles outside in the metroparks by my house. This was the first time in 5 months since I've ran outside around here. Hopefully the weather starts to stay this way. I don't think I'll have a problem with running outside rather then doing it on the treadmill. My first...

It just occurred to me that this challenge doesn't sound that much harder than the goofy. At least not to me. I understand that nobody should underestimate the 48.6 miles in only 4 days, but the mileage per day is lower than doing just the goofy challenge. Personally, I would just use the 5k and...

I gotta be perfectly dopey!

I have tried finding the 3 baristas from Cove Cafe on Facebook, but I can only recall their first names, which is making it difficult. I'm planning on going on the Western Caribbean cruise in mid-May so I'll see them then. Our server was amazing as well, so I'll most definitely request her for...

Yesterday I only did 2 miles in 30 minutes on the treadmill, which was shocking to me because I normally run a lot faster and longer on running days. I started out strong, but then all of the sudden I started to feel nauseous and so I had to walk for the remaining time I had set aside to run. Oh...

Well I wasn't talking about that kind of a relationship. lol. However, as long as your wife doesn't know or find out, then go ahead. But you didn't hear that from me. lol

That's understandable. I know that it's probably a personal preference whether to try it or not, but it was a suggestion to help make a trip more enjoyable. Normally, I don't hold long conversations with strangers because I feel that I wouldn't have anything to talk about, but I'm trying to get...

I just got back yesterday afternoon from my week long cruise on the Disney Fantasy and I had an amazing time. We had warm weather, delicious food, and exciting port adventures the whole week. However, I think my favorite part the entire trip was meeting the 3 baristas at the Cove Cafe. They were...

I decided to register for the CrossFit Open competition, which for me started yesterday. Workout 13.1 consisted of the following: 17 minute AMRAP (as many reps as possible) 40 burpees/30 snatches @ 75lbs. 30 burpees/ 30 snatches @ 135lbs. 20 burpees/30 snatches @ 165lbs. 10 burpees/as many...

Ran 5 miles on the treadmill yesterday after work! I finished in 37 minutes so now I'm back into working on my speed. My goal is to get to the point where I can run 6:30/mile pace for half marathons. Hopefully next week the weather will warm up a bit so I can start running outside again. Only 14...

Another successful CrossFit workout this evening! I feel myself getting stronger and quicker than I was before! I'm planning on registering for the CrossFit Open competition next month as well as the Tough Mudder in Ohio in April!

We went there for the first time the night before the half marathon last month. They have really good food and the portions are big as well! My uncle actual took us there because his apartment is only 5 minutes away from Celebration!
