  • Look out for the coyotes they can be very aggressive. I carry a wooden practice katana when running the trails at night in and around Niwot, Colorado. I'll also carry mace in a pocket or strapped to the hand. We had a guy attacked by three coyotes no to long ago in the early morning hours just a mile or so from my house.…
  • Hmmm, I could care less about miles but I record them just the same. I'm more interested in intensity and trying to get more efficient since I lost a quarter of my lungs.

If you can't afford a trainer then check out your county or city fitness centers and see if they offer resistance classes, and then…

Personally I'm still an advocate of the following: 1) Talk to your physician and see what she or he has to say. If you feel physician is…
  • I have the same problem especially when I am full bore into my season training plan which is now. I get the munchies late at night. I will grab anything and the sweeter the better to assuage my hunger. Just recently I have been doing the following to kill off the bedtime or post bedtime munchies. I will pour myself an 8 to…
  • I'm in! I need to lose between 15 - 20 lbs in anticipation of this year's Triple Bypass Cycling Challenge - http://teamevergreen.org/triple-bypass/. Last year I couldn't get below 162 and suffered quite a bit on the climbs over the mountain passes. I need to be down around 154-157.
