Well, it’s not totally hiatus time, but posts are infrequent, however, I would just like to say I officially registered for Livestrong Challenge Philadelphia today. My personal fundraising page is at: http://philly2010.livestrong.org/rsuenaga Please support me in riding this event! I’m going a long way to do a century, and I’d like to make it special […]
Several of my Twitter friends ran in the Honolulu Marathon this past Sunday. I was not one of them; having done the 2008 marathon (horribly injured and not well trained) I’m not thinking runs of that length are really for me. That said, it was inspiring to see how well some of them did. Two […]
I’ve decided on a bunch of organized events for 2010. It’s pretty ambitious, but I think I can do them all. January 10, 2010: 8K run January 31, 2010: 10K run February 15, 2010: Great Aloha Run April 3, 2010: Ford Island Bridge 10K run April 25, 2010: Hale’iwa Metric Century Ride August 21, 2010: […]
I’m inspired. The combination of last weekend’s 5K, my new heart rate monitor, decent weather, some reasonable training runs and rides, and considering the Livestrong Challenge in Philadelphia has lifted me out of my doldrums. And to make it even better, a bunch of my friends ran in the Honolulu Marathon on Sunday. Right now […]
I’ve had a few heart rate monitors over the years; unfortunately they’ve tended to die on me after a year or so of use. I just got a new one from Nashbar for pretty cheap, so I’m using it to help in my training again. What is a heart rate monitor? Simply, it’s a way […]
I was excited not just for myself, but for my buddies. It was great to place in my age/gender group at the SAM’s 5K, but seeing my pace was much more exciting, and seeing how well my buddies did in the same run was even more exciting. Seeing how fast John was–and hearing how he’s […]
The SAM’s 5K is the first 5K I’ve entered, and like in my other runs, I was lifted by my Team Twitter buddies, this time @alohajohn, @tadasauce, @bevclemente, @janck, and @shmerin. 5K isn’t very far; according to Google it’s 3.10685596 miles, meaning it’s about the same distance I’ve been running a few mornings a week. […]
I’ve got the doldrums, but I’m shaking them off. One of the things it’s too easy to do when it comes to my morning workouts is to roll the other way and hit the snooze button until it’s too late to actually work out. Having some peer pressure is helping me do that, as well […]
I’m still coughing. This cold has lingered a long longer than I hoped it would. In fact, I spent almost the entire time I was off from work from Thanksgiving through the Sunday after recovering from my cold and sleeping way longer hours than usual–in fact, I had already been sleeping earlier, sometimes before 8 […]
I still hate running, but I’m doing it anyway. The peer pressure of having someone to meet up with has definitely worked, I’m doing a couple of relatively hard runs during the work week in the morning and showering at work (one of the side benefits–I love showering). I have entries for a 5K, an […]
