When I first started getting serious about my weight, I had hit a high of 273, and just like most people when they see a number on the scale that sickens them; I made a decision that it was time to change. Not that I hadn’t made those decisions many times before, but this time, I DID change.

When I’m running at the gym, it’s a little creepy to try and break out the camera for a VftR.

VftR: downtown Oceano on a Sunday morning. I had nothin in the gas tank for this run. I’ve pushed pretty hard this week and today showed. Still got in 6 miles, but pace was way off. Low and slow is still a good run, so I’ll take it. Fresno Navy was leaving town too. The […]

Amazing day on the trail with Heather, Ron, David, and Alicia. I know it’s November and we’re lucky to be on the Central Coast, but it was crazy beautiful on the hill side. Some of the hills were very difficult as legs were jello after the hill repeats yesterday and post basketball, but was still […]

8×25 second sprints with easy 1 min runs between. Ended with a 20 min normal run. This was taken at a cemetery between a stand of eucalyptus. Maybe about 40 grave sites.

10,000 meters to clear my head tonight. Needed it too. Fantastic pacing. I felt strong and fast and the best part was felt like I could have run another 3 or 4 more miles.

Downtown AG post work 5 miler. It’s so dark out!

Warm November tempo run. Stop and smell the flowers wherever you find yourself.
