What’s up everybody?!  Hope everyone has been working hard and enjoying the holiday season!  I ran a 5K Santa run last Saturday and had an absolute blast.  The course was from Santa Monica to Venice here in beautiful sunny Southern California and was filled with all sorts of colorful characters in hats, costumes, and ugly Christmas sweaters.  I was about a minute off of my PR with a time of 23:17, but was still very happy with how speedy I was.  I attribute it to all the running and healthy living I’ve been doing.  There will be no added Christmas weight for me this year!

Keep working hard gang!  I know you are!

It was a beautiful weekend here in Baltimore with temperatures in the mid 50s. This weekend Mike Kirby had an early morning workout at the local gym. He combined a lifting workout with a cardio workout. Afterwards he treated himself to a protein milkshake. He works hard for his protein milkshakes!!

We hope everyone has a great week. See you next week.

What’s up everyone!

Been on the road quite a bit recently but we make due with what we got. An assorted collection of dips and squats on the RV as we went from Vancouver to Kansas City. Followed by a solid 6.5 mile run this morning through Leavenworth.

This place is sort of the learning center for the military. Many members come here when they return from deployment in order to further their education. Quite an honor to get a tour through this fort. Very cool to see the environment that the military people create for themselves on base.

Great morning work out today.  Got up early and knocked out a lift at 6:45 am.  It was a back and biceps work out that was a prefect start to the day.

It was a great way to start my day.  Jay is travelling so I was on my own with Scott @ 5:30 this am.  Using the foam roller for 15 min wakes those muscles right up and ready for lots of upper body exercises on the Synrgy 360~love it! Puts those core muscles right to work then added some band walking, variation of planks and some kettle balls for an awesome hour workout.  I finished it off with a brisk 2 mile walk around the track as I need to post 100 miles of walking before the half marathon in Phoenix on January 20th with my sister Anne.

I can imagine the energy it takes our military families to focus on their day and stay strong mentally and physically for their loved ones.  Sending happy thoughts their way!

Hey guys!  Happy Monday to you all.  Hope you had a great weekend full of lots of activity.   It was raining here in Los Angeles, but still found time to get out and run.  I’m gearing up for the Santa Monica to Venice 5K Santa run this Saturday, so been getting lots of jogging in.  Ran up and down the Beverly Hills trail for five miles today.  Even on muddy/rainy days it remains my favorite city path.

Keep working hard everyone, I’ll let you know how this weekend’s run goes!

Hello Everyone,

We’re excited to begin the second year of the 365 day challenge.  In Baltimore, we are working on having several other members start actively posting their workouts.  This weekend, I played some pickup basketball to take care of my workout.  Until next time.

Enjoy the Week.

Hey everyone….

Things this week got a bit crazy as I’m sure we all had a ton of work to catch up on due to the Thanksgiving break. Didn’t affect our workouts though, I’m sure!

Wednesday was a nice wet run in LA as it was raining…of course.

Thursday was a few Surfset classes followed by a 100/100.

Friday was two more SurfSet classes and a quick interval based run.

And today was a nice 5 mile run in San Fran…also raining.

Why it was raining during my entire week in LA…I don’t know. Either way, road tripping is great. Definitely makes you find the time to workout and plan ahead.
