2019 Spartan Ohio Beast is in the books. 13 miles, 30 obstacles and the muddiest course to date, miles of knee-deep mud, muck, swamps & just plain greasy slop. Actually had to empty my shoes of sand, gravel and mud several times and my compression socks are garbage. Loved every minute of it too...

Long, tough woods run today in preparation for my Ohio Spartan Beast next Saturday. Currently feeling the 1823’ of vertical climb in my hamstrings haha.

Gave the joints a break today & got the Beast of The East (Mtn bike) out and hit the trails, lotsa fun with all the recent rain!

Dahoga Dash 5k this morning, PR time of 20:17, placed 3rd in my age group, flying high today!!!!

Just did a test run of my local 5k coming up on Sunday. An entire year’s worth of hard work paid huge dividends. Course is painted, ends up 3.06 miles & I couldnt be happier right now!!! Crazy headwind for the first half. Gotta repeat or beat this performance Sunday morning!!!

Gritty, non-stop trail run this morning....450’ of gain in the first 2 miles, 430’ in the last 2.75, 1649 total gain. Usually take a few breathers on these woods runs as there is some steep rugged stuff, but kept moving the entire time today. Good to know what you’re capable of, wont lie though...

Below goal, but....had to rest

PR 5 miles this morning, thanks mostly to mental tenacity in the last mile.

Bi’s and tri’s today... Old running shoes had 300+ miles on them, new ones just showed up, gunna put miles on them tomorrow.

Trail / Mountain run and what a beautiful morning for it, was a tough 4 miles to start.

Chest and abs for 55 mins then ran 7.22 to match a previous distance. Beat it by 9 secs, thanks to a good mile #3.

Shoulders and abs today, bout 50 mins. And re-arranged the home gym a lil bit out of boredom.

Tuesday - chest and back. This morning I set out to begin acclimating to my next race distance, wish I had realized I stoped just 1 tenth short of a half-marathon. Still gives me a good idea of where I stand among distance runners, which is definitely not my bag haha.

VO2 Max test run today, mainly to make sure my watch tech is legit. Covered 1.73 miles in 12 mins, that?s a 6:55/mi pace and a VO2 Max of 51, I?m pretty happy with that at 35

Just thought I’d share this with everyone here, being such a bunch of hard workers and all. Something I’ve lived by for years.

Hello beautiful weather! Man it was a nice morning for a run!!!

Woods/ trail run, most of the elevation gain was in the 2nd half of the run, had me feeling it.

Saturday morning jaunt. Nursing some tennis elbow I guess. Not sure but it sucks, so no lifting since Friday.

PR 5 mile run this morning, topped the old one by 1:29, and it was only about 38 degrees. Did about 30 mins single-tracking on the dirt bike early afternoon. (More work than you might think.) Also made my first goal of cutting to 158lbs today.

Finally warmed up. Smashed my PR 5k today..wahoo!!! Got in bi’s /tri’s tonite.
