Time To Get it Started

I am embarking on a journey I have not begun since I was 9 years old...beginning to be a runner. After my boyfriend and I flipped over a guardrail over a month ago I have not been able to do any physical activity until today. I made a slight attempt at not even a run but a jog to see how much (or little) my back would be able to handle. I was able to do about a mile without stopping. Not great from past standards but better then expected. I need to step it up because in 5.5 weeks I will be…

Never say never.

I'm coming up on my official 3rd anniversary of being a runner; three years ago this May I ran my first Broad Street Run. Going into it a friend told me "if you can run 8 miles, you can do Broad Street" so thats what I did. I started off with 3 miles at a time, then managed a few 5-6 mile runs and ONE 8 mile run beforehand. I was so scared at the starting line, my stomach was in knots, and by the time I got to mile 7 I was cursing myself wondering why on earth I thought I could do this. The… Continue

Just sayin...

Gale Bernheardt recently had an article on active.com about an injured athlete she was working with. He could not do threshold intervals or tempo intervals for long periods. the collar bone injury was to much.

Ugly Mudder Review

Thank you Polly Jansen.

The Ugly Mudder 7.2-ish mile trail race 2/28/10 was snowy madness! Illustrious, notorious race director Ron Horn informed the crowd that

this was the hardest course he had ever marked. He recapped, "The first

40-50 runners had to contend with snow that sank 10-12 inches with each

step and some places on the course, 18-30…

A new twist on candy anyone ?

This might not be a blog you'd really expect to read on an endurance website, but we welcome any good reason to blog-positive here at Mytritraining. :)

Certain things in life are just worth sharing for no other reason than their uniqueness, and that they make you smile.

2007, while visiting Amsterdam and training for Timberman half Iron, I came across a gem of a specialty candy company. Papabubble. See for yourself.…

USAT membership renewal or Registeration.

As we approach the 2010 tri season it's time to renew your membership.

Any newbies who aren't sure, I assure you that it IS worth it. Many training events, swims, etc, are recognized USAT events and require a one-day $10 fee. This quickly adds up but can be avoided with membership.

Membership is a very good value and brings with it the many benefits offered to members.
