My Goofy bib: 21045! I forgot that my dad and I got the race retreat package so we'll be in there for a bit before race time, but I'll make sure I stop by a say hello to everyone!

Ran 10 miles this morning as my last long run before the Goofy Challenge next weekend. I'll be going to CrossFit tomorrow as I always do to maintain my strength. Know I'm about to test out my award winning chili to get ready to defend my title in 2 weeks!

This is a great a idea for a thread! I want to get a GoPro HD sports camera so that I can wear it on my head and film all my training runs and post it to my blog!

My dad has our bib #s somewhere so I'll post them this weekend. We're staying at Pop Century and will be leaving next Thursday around 4:50pm so we should get to our resort by 7:30pm-8pm. We'll probably wake up at 3am both days so that we can catch the bus no later than 3:30am. 4am should work...

Actually they weren't that bad! We started just before 9:30am so they were well plowed. There was barely any snow on the trails, but there were several spots that had ice on them, but not big enough to cause us to slip and fall. However, we still needed to stop and walk carefully over some of...

I ran 20 miles this morning in the metroparks and around my house. Even though the temperature was colder than it was last weekend, it didn't feel that bad as I was prepared and there wasn't much of a breeze. This run completed my training for the Goofy Challenge this year and know I'm on my...

That is a good idea! I will be participating in the Goofy Challenge!

Ran 18 miles yesterday in the local metroparks! It was a beautiful day for Northeast Ohio, especially for this time of year, which made the run quite enjoyable. Tonight at CrossFit, we did a WOD that worked our legs pretty good. Needless to say I should be a bit sore tomorrow, but I'm still...

I just wanted an extra few days down in Florida and away from the horrible winter I feel is coming our way! Lol. Yea, I have been here going on 3 years after my spring semester. I don't live on up campus, I live in Brunswick, so I just commute every day I have class, which isn't bad since I...

I'm down with planning a meetup sometime before one of the races as well! Unfortunately this year we won't be staying a week after the races like we did last year, which is a bummer. My spring semesters have always started the day after Martin Luther King Day, which this year is on the 20th, but...

Thanks! Last year I did 18 miles on the treadmill a couple weeks before the marathon. I'm in training and I'm not going to let the weather stop me. I've never had any physical pain, but my feet and hands get really discolored and feel numb. I have tried many types of gloves to try and combat...

Ran 16 miles on the Treadmill this morning. Even though my legs were still sore, I pushed myself anyways cause I needed to get this run in. I'm kind of like Donald Duck in that I don't feel as well when I can't run on a regular basis. I wish I could have done my run outside, but unfortunately my...

Normally, I go to CrossFit on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays, but since I went shopping in the morning yesterday and they only had morning classes that day, I decided to go this morning. This CrossFit workout was a little different than a normal WOD. There was a warmup and the WOD itself, but no...

Finished the 15k in 1:04:30, which is a 7:00/mile pace. My first mile was 6:30, which isn't my fastest mile ever, but it's pretty good. My legs weren't in the best possible shape. They were still sore from CrossFit on Friday. Being able to still finish that fast makes me wonder how fast I could...

So yesterday was one of the hardest Cross-Fit WODs I have ever done. The warmup was 4 rounds of 5 pullups, 10 pushups, and 15 squats. The WOD itself was 4 rounds of a 400 meter run, 10 burpees w/box jumps, 10 barbell shoulder shrugs, and 10 kettle bell swings. After the first round I started to...

They sure do add up quickly! I remember I put over 1,000 miles on one of my pairs last year and still wasn't having any problems with them.

I had my last fundamentals class this evening. The WOD was the same as the first day, this way I can see hoe much I improved. But first my warmup was a 1000 meter row and 15 squats. Then I did a strength assessment on deadlifts, in which I set a new PR of 155 lbs. The WOD itself consisted of a...

So today I completed level 10 of my fundamentals! I did my usual warmup except I rowed 800 meters instead of running. Today's WOD consisted of 4 rounds of 10 hang cleans followed by 20 Russian lunges. Afterwards I did 50 floor wipers. After all that I decided to attempt to climb the rope again...

Cross-Fit class 7 complete! Today's warmup consisted of 800 meter run and row, 15 squats, 15 pushups, and 15 inverted rows. I started out with the run and when I got to the 400 meter mark, it started to downpour so I decided to just add the 400 meters to my rowing. That means I ended up rowing...

I forgot to post my Cross-Fit workout that I did yesterday evening. My warmup included a 400 meter run, 400 meter row, 15 squats, 10 pushups, and 15 inverted rows. The normal WOD for level 5 was 3 rounds of 300 meter rows, 10 KTE, and 10 dumbbell dip shoulder presses as a superset. However, I...
