I Just Can’t Stop! I’m an Exercise Addict.
So I am going to make a major admission over the world wide webs, I am a exercise addict!! There I said it, I regularly think about my next fitness conquest and when it will take place. I don’t want to miss a beat and certainly don’t want to have a workout scheduled in my ...
Bring on the Long Run
This week the weatherman said that Fall was coming in with a cold front this weekend, my first thought was “Bring on the Long Run”. I don’t know how many of you are like me but weather(more so the heat) is a huge determining factor in my weekly training plans. I love running in the early morning, ...
Passion In New Arenas
If you are a frequent follower of this page, you are probably something like me and have a bent addiction towards exercise, maybe not exercise but fitness in general. I would also assume that like so many of us contributors to this page, you have a childlike, butterflies in your stomach, crush on one particular ...
First Capital Sprint Triathlon Recap
This past Saturday, July 21st was the first installment of the Guthrie First Capital Sprint Triathlon. I have to be upfront in saying that I am not an avid triathlete (hope to become one) or a knowledgable one as well.

I remember when I first started seriously running in college, I really just had a crush on the sport that was turning into something more. I was drastically uneducated in the sport ...
Hydra Therapy
As the summer months are quickly approaching and the heat will soon be like a pressure cooker here in Oklahoma I have decided to take a majority of my training indoors. For lack of a better word, I am simply a wimp when it comes to braving the heat, or more so I just don’t care ...
Recovery is Crucial
Recently I completed my second half marathon with a finishing time that I was more than satisfied with. Considering I had not trained near the amount I desired and was primarily focused on finishing the Insanity workout program. I can’t believe it has been two months since crossing the finish line in Little Rock. I ...
All in the Family
I am sure if you are reading posts from this page you are either: 1. An Athlete in training 2. Someone interested in endurance sports 3. A member of my family. Not everyone has the desire to be an endurance athlete. Some just don’t understand it. Well for me it is quite simple what my motivation ...
The Right Bites
When I first started running, I never really paid much attention to nutrition or more specifically the food I was consuming. I was under that false impression that “hey I am a runner, I can eat what I want”, well that is all relative. In college I really started to increase my mileage so the ...
