Run went well today. First 9 to 10 miles was at a 8 minute per mile pace. Last 3 miles though felt like I ran out of gas. Couldn’t get a good strong stride for that stretch. Will continue to train/strengthen quad/hamstrings for endurance. Unofficial time: 1:48 and change. Waiting for official time.
San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon: June 6.
Huntington Beach Half Marathon tomorrow. Looking for a time that’s between 1:40 and 1:45.
Just got back last night from Park City, Utah. Another good trip out there. Good times with friends. We discovered The Canyon’s this year. They have a lot of good long runs. The snow wasn’t as good as last year, but still had an awesome time. Best runs were the ones where we went over and under bridges. I have taken a lot less photos of the snow and snowboarding this year. However, I managed to make an effort just to take some crossfit pictures:
Can’t wait for Whistler, Canada next year. Count down has already begun!

New personal record for unofficialy half-marathon run this morning. Training run was 13 miles at 1 hour and 43 minutes. My original goal for half marathon was 1:45.
At the o-lift developmental competition, had to step on the scale. Here are my results:
September 17: weigh in @ 77.5kg
December 6: weigh in @76.8
I realized my marathon training has officially begun:
11 miles logged today at around 1 hour 35 minutes.
Boot Brew 7 was pretty awesome experience. Had to put down about 7-8 beers throughout the run. Worse part was probably having to jump in the ice cold pool looking for coins. Overall, great experience. But reminder to self, drinking throughout 12 hours span is not good for the body.
Now onto the 5k run for the hunger on Thanksgiving Day. After, training for the February Huntington Beach half marathon and June San Diego full marathon.
It’s been a while. We went to the tracks today and did Nancy. Time: 16:17 which is almost a 14 minute PR. (5 rounds of 400m and 15 OHS).
Just signed up today:
February 7, 2010 Surf City 1/2 Marathon. In preparation for full marathon in San Diego. Here we go again….
Haven’t posted in over a month! It’s hard to actually post daily on my meal plans. It is a bit tedious and it has actually been really easy to grocery shop, cook, and prep my food now a days.
Since our gluten/diary free challenge that started around August 21st, I’ve slimmed down a bit. Went from 174lbs-ish and down to 167lbs. It hasn’t been that big of an adjustment to eliminate products that have gluten or diary. The biggest change in nutrition was when I went on the zone diet back in March. Learning the portions and what type of food was more difficult and time consuming at that time. Moving to gluten/diary free was more just a tweak to my zone diet.
Our paleo zone/gluten free challenge ends October 31st. Can’t wait for our massive cheat weekend and then we are back on it. Having other people doing this helps out dramatically. We keep each other accountable to what we are eating. Lately, there aren’t words like “Sure why not!” in regards to food. We’re all focused on PR’ing in our workouts, leaning down, and looking great!
Here is our current agenda for cheat weekend:
Saturday, October 31st
Breakfast: Portos
Lunch: Father’s Office
Dinner: Zelo’s!!!!!!!!!! Can I throw down one whole pizza? I think so!
Sunday, November 1st
Breakfast: TBA
Lunch: TBA
Dinner: TBA
Dessert: Cheesecake Factory
