Being hurt sucks.
And I’m hurt.
I’m not that hurt. But I’m hurt. I stepped out of bed about two and a half weeks ago and immediately experienced sharp pain posterior to the shin bone and about an inch above the ankle joint. Naturally, I ran anyway.
And it hurt.
So I ran the next day – that hurt too. Hardcore massage that night bought me two days of relatively limited pain....

The journey continues...
By Michelle Andres (teamandresjourney.blogspot.com)
My blog has been updated to show the next journey I'm on. The address even had to change since Team Andres arrived and conquered Kona. An experience I will never forget. I will always remember the friends and family that helped me on this journey. But now...an new mountain to climb...The Marathon Olympic Trials for 2016.

Qualifying for the marathon Olympic trails for the 2016 games. This means I need to run at least a 2:43 marathon to meet the "B" standard set by USA Track and Field or the "A" standard which is a 2:39 marathon...

Bike Weight and the Myth of Fast Bikes
By Jim Gourley
In my new book FASTER, I reveal the science underlying our beloved swim, bike, run sports and show how triathletes can find free speed with a little know-how. I also debunk myths and misunderstandings about gear that can save you thousands of dollars so you can spend your hard-earned cash on those gear and technique upgrades that actually make you faster.
Here, I’ll bust the myth of weight savings and reveal the truth about so-called “fast” bikes. To keep it quick, I’ll skip over some of the details that make FASTER a really interesting book.
First, let’s clear something up. There is no such thing as a “fast bike.” Bikes are neither fast nor slow. Bikes are shiny or expensive. Bikes...

As humans we take care of ourselves in variable ways, we swim, bike, run, sign up for races and hit the gym several times a week. We glance in the mirror and we are very happy how our body is looking and we get compliments left and right from our peers and loved ones. ......
It builds your self esteem and your attitude during the day. However, when you are with your partner/husband/wife/boyfriend or girlfriend, you are not in the mood for anything. Especially when you are done riding the bike....
