Today was another run down by the Schuylkill River. I went out for about 3-4 miles (a little unsure the exact distance today). The days have been muggy and tough to run in, but definitely easy to break a sweat. I have run every day this week except Tuesday, when I played in a mens league soccer game. Unfortunately, we lost the soccer game. Nonetheless, keeping up the good work here in Philly.

Today we completed our 22nd day in a row of running for the June Challenge. This week was very busy, filled with bizarre weather including hailstorms and moderate flooding, but we are still on pace to finish with 45 miles over the past 7 days. Yesterday, Nick Karwoski and I did 8 miles at Lake Winnipesaukee, NH and finished with a circuit of core exercises and stretching. This picture was taken post-run today from the lakefront. A beautiful weekend capped off with a nice long run tomorrow evening back in Boston should set the Boston team up for a nice week of running heading into the final 8 days of our challenge. Hope to see some We Are One 365 runners out in Boston this week!

Today I am blogging from Philadelphia. After 2 years in Ohio, I have relocated to the Philadelphia area. I logged 3 miles today with my roommate and followed up with 100 push ups and sit ups. It was perfect weather and we did a nice run down by the boat houses on the Schuylkill river.
Tuesday, 7am. Location: Golds Gym. Its leg day. Time to get my amp up. As I exceed the recommended dose of NO xplode, I know I am ready to get under the bar. I think to myself on the way there, “What if the old guys are doing something stupid in the power rack?” It puts me on edge. Upon arrival I am relieved to see that this is not the case. The rack is mine. I set it up to catch the bar, because I know that, on this day, I will be squatting to failure. I proceeded to do so with a silent, focused enthusiasm. I got up to 345 for my last set. I was too in the zone to remember anything else from that lift. I then finished with 7 or eight sets of legpress at around sevenhundo for the heavier sets. I have been focused on strengthening my glutes and hams. They have presented themselves as my weaknesses in some of my more compound lifts. (squat, dead, clean)
**The purpose of the over dramatic introduction is to illustrate the mindset you must be in to train legs to your full potential.
Today marks day 15 of our June running challenge. This week was filled with some great workouts and terrible weather, but we are still on pace to hit 40 miles over the past 7 days. On Monday, Taylor Gorman and I did a 10 mile test run in the driving rain and, given the circumstances, were very pleased with the result. This morning, I did a slow, 5 mile run through the city, starting in back bay – down through the south end – and then back along the Esplanade. The photo attached is of the reflecting pool in the Christian Science Center park right near the Prudential Tower. As you can see, a beautiful, picturesque day in Boston. Tomorrow we will be running along the Charles River around 4 PM, looking to do about 8 miles. Hope to see others out there in their We Are One 365 gear. Have a nice weekend everyone!
Stay tuned for details regarding our August fundraising event in Boston, hope to see everyone out running this coming week!

I am blogging from Ashville NY today where I have been for the week. It is a town on Lake Chautauqua which provides exceptional scenery during my runs. Today I did a 4 mile loop as well as 100 push ups and sit ups.

Today, my friend Thug Esh and I acquired an 800 lb tractor tire. The most difficult part of the day was figuring out how to get the tire from the farm to my house. When We finally transported it, we flipped it for about an hour or so. This workout was a great change up. We were able to get full body resistance training with an added element of cardio. I think next week espn 2 may cover our workout.
We are 8 days into the Boston challenge and the running has been going very well. This week I am on pace to run just over 35 miles, with the addition of a 10 mile run tomorrow with Taylor Gorman along the Charles River.
I ran some very beautiful routes this week in Boston, and primarily stayed along the Charles River in Back Bay. Most of my workouts were between 5-7 miles followed by a circuit of core exercises. This weekend I am visiting friends and family in Maine and completed a nice run through Yarmouth this afternoon, heading through Royal River Park and around the town. Riley (pictured with the We Are One 365 shirt) was too busy sunbathing to join, but shows her support for the We Are One 365 mission.
Stay tuned for details regarding our August fundraising event in Boston, hope to see everyone out running next week!

Today was a 5.1 mile run. Following the run I did 100 push ups and sit ups. The run was fairly flat but still good distance. I took a week off following the half Marathon in Boston but I am back on a consistent running routine.

The weather has been absolutely perfect the past couple of days in DC for morning workouts. I have been working out in the morning around 7:15 at Washington Sports Club in Dupont prior to bar exam prep classes.
Workout Schedule This Week:
Monday: Chest and Triceps
Tuesday: Back and Biceps
Wednesday: Legs and Shoulders
Tomorrow will either be a long cardio workout or will be a repeat in the cycle depending on level of soreness in shoulders tomorrow.
We could not be more excited about Scott Carpenter leading the initiative in Boston to run everyday in June to honor our military families.
