There’s no way around it… being injured sucks… but it’s all what you make of it.  For the past (almost) 3 months my injury has kept me from doing a lot.  I watched some highly competitive races I was signed up for pass, my friends are out doing epic things like R2R2R and TransZion, ...

I wish this post was about me slowly and conservatively ramping up my running, but it’s not.  I did my first run in just over 6 week on Tuesday – 4/9.  It was just some easy jogging and walking around the YMCA with Maggie and Ruby.  My leg felt tight but loosened up and felt ...

I am so stoked I decided to jump into the Spy Belgian Waffle ride.  The ride was hard, i suffered, but at the end of the day had way more fun than I thought I would have.  Spy is doing good things in the local sports community I am stoked to have their support in ...

anybody who has spent a significant amount of time around me knows, at times,  I’m not necessarily the most patient person.  As i wrote about in my previous post I was hoping that my femur would be healed in and I’d be back running in 3 weeks.  That obviously wasn’t the case.  On Thursday it ...

Nothing to exciting going on right now on the training front.  More of the same.  Some solid riding, time in the gym, and no running.  My leg is still progressing.  The pain is decreasing and the area where the “pain” is continues to get much smaller and specific.  I can only hope that means the inflamed area ...

So it’s now been over 2 weeks on zero running (almost 3, and actually only one run in the last 24 days, but who’s counting).  I’m definitely itching to run but not going as crazy as I thought I would be.  I am a good place with everything and the fact that I can still ...

Last week was pretty solid on the bike.  This injury could be a blessing in disguise moving forward.  I am really missing running and am not stoked about having to drop out of Old Goats… and potentially the rest of my spring/early summer races but it feels so good to be back on the bike. ...

quick post here.  on tuesday i posted about what was going on with my leg and the I was convinced I had a stress fracture.  well on wednesday morning at 7am i went in for an MRI.  The folks at SMI Imaging were awesome and got me in and out there quickly (so i could ...

“If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience” ~Robert Fulghum so that happened.  i have been writing about how i’ve been search of my breaking and i think i found it.  not really the one i was ...

Last weekend was pretty rad.  I would say one of the best I’ve had in a while but all my weekends lately have been pretty awesome. killer photo from the Bandit 50k taken by Donovan Jenkins I woke up last Monday after racing twice over the weekend with a pretty sore left quad.  I mean ...
