Hiking Pinnacle Peak Park

March 19, 2013

In all the years I’ve been going to Arizona, I never once went hiking. Our trips were always all about baseball. Oh and that one year we went to the dog races. But that story is for another day. This was my first trip to Arizona with the Pacific Northwest relatives, who are avid hikers. [...]

January 23, 2013

TRX Boot Camp Class

November 10, 2012

Six months ago, on a whim, I purchased a Groupon for TRX Boot camp classes. Although I already regularly do TRX workouts during my training sessions with Trainer Dave, it’s always nice to try a new workout. And let’s be honest, I love group exercise classes.

Week 24: June 12-17, 2012

June 17, 2012

On the 24th week of 2012 I ran a total of 6 miles. And 3 of those 6 miles were amazing in that I felt zero pain. Unfortunately, I felt numbness in my foot (left side again), something I’ve felt the past few runs. At first I wasn’t too concerned about it, but it started [...]
