June 2015 Preview

I really can't believe it's already June. My unpreparedness for summer can't be put in to words. The accompanying heat looms heavy over the training program I loosely put together in preparation for early fall races. Now's the time to start putting in the work to have successful (and fast) distance runs in October when the half-marathon season kicks off.

Bridgeman104 Duathlon: The 2014 Recap

After 5 years of marathoning, I decided that I wanted to tackle new challenges in 2014. There was a burning desire to get out of a rut and try another discipline that compliments my running addiction. This past Sunday, I added cycling to my race resume by participating in the Bridgeman104 Duathlon.

Bridging The Gap

Since 1958, the Crescent City Connection has serviced vehicular traffic from the Westbank to the Eastbank of the Mississippi River in New Orleans. This weekend, there are two opportunities for athletes to take in the New Orleans skyline from the precipice of the bridge more than 300 feet up in the air.

June 2014 Preview

Rain over the past week has kept temperatures uncharacteristically low in south Louisiana. Fear not, because we'll be creeping in to the 90s before you know it. However, with proper conditioning, tackling the summer heat is easy enough. You'll have to suffer through some slow muggy runs through June, but it'll be worth it when you break the barrier and get accustomed to the summer sizzle. Just be sure to stay hydrated during every workout!
